Podcast appearances and mentions of John Leguizamo

Welcome to episode 293 of the Spun Today Podcast, hosted by Tony Ortiz—the show where writing is the anchor, but the content knows no bounds. In this episode, Tony dives into the creative heart of John Leguizamo's latest Off-Broadway ensemble play, "The Other Americans," unpacking the storytelling, set design, and family dynamics that make the work both culturally specific and emotionally universal. Through the lens of writing, he explores how ambition and repressed trauma can become the real antagonists in a story, and shares actionable takeaways for fellow writers inspired to infuse their own work with personal and generational struggles.   But that's just the beginning: Tony also offers insights into New York City's upcoming mayoral election—breaking down recent debates, highlighting the importance of character in leadership, and reflecting on bold policy proposals aimed at housing, education, and community uplift. And, as always, the episode includes a dose of inspiration with the "Goats Doing Goat Shit" segment, honoring recording artist and writer Kwame for his creative perseverance and business acumen.   Whether you're here for creative motivation, political commentary, or just great storytelling, this episode promises plenty of fuel for your writing journey. Stick around for practical tips, universal truths, and the signature Spun Today blend of intellect, heart, and creative hustle.

Von Spinnen-Phobien, Höllen-CGI und Special Guest André Hecker! Von nervösen Hosts, skurrilen Kino-Erlebnissen und einem höllischen 90er-Jahre-Kultfilm! Heute gibt's eine Special-Folge, denn Timo und (ein sichtlich nervöser) Zeljko haben sich Verstärkung geholt! Zu Gast ist Horror-Experte, Podcaster und die Stimme hinter "Devils & Demons" und "Genre Geschehen": André Hecker. Nach der Begrüßung tauchen die drei direkt in die Welt des Horrors ein. André erzählt von seinem extremen Filmkonsum – für ihn ist das ganze Jahr Oktober! Er erklärt, warum er lieber einen schlechten Horrorfilm als einen schlechten Actionfilm schaut und wie er es schafft, bei der Menge an Filmen nicht abzustumpfen. Als ersten Film hat André HIM im Gepäck. Er stellt klar, dass es sich um eine Jordan-Peele-Produktion (Monkeypaw) handelt, nicht um einen Peele-Regiefilm. Die Geschichte um einen aufstrebenden Football-Star hat für ihn zwar spannende Ansätze und starke Darsteller (Marlon Wayans!), wirkt aber insgesamt etwas unentschlossen. Das führt die Runde zu einer unterhaltsamen Diskussion über skurrile Kino-Erlebnisse – von mitgebrachten Sofas bis hin zu Bierkisten bei New Kids Turbo. Ein weiteres Highlight ist der Exkurs über Phobien: Während André von seiner Angst vor Verfolgung (Danke, It Follows!) und Spinnen berichtet, überrascht Timo mit der Info, dass er früher über 300 Vogelspinnen gehalten hat – inklusive Fachwissen über die "Buchlungen" der Achtbeiner. Hauptthema ist aber der 90er-Jahre-Kultfilm Spawn, den André frisch im Director's Cut auf 4K gesehen hat. Einig sind sich alle: Der Film ist ein absolutes Kind seiner Zeit. Das CGI sieht heute aus wie eine "PlayStation 1 Cutscene", aber John Leguizamo als fieser Clown und der Soundtrack sind legendär. Sie diskutieren über den unterschätzten Michael J. White, die Parallelen zu Blade und die Hoffnung, dass die Figur Spawn in einem modernen, düsteren Reboot endlich das bekommt, was sie verdient. Eine vollgepackte Folge mit einem fantastischen Gast, tiefen Einblicken ins Horror-Genre und einer nostalgischen (und kritischen) Rückschau auf einen Antihelden-Klassiker. Also, Ohren auf und ab in die Welt von "Once Upon A Time In Cinema - Der Filmpodcast" – jeden Donnerstag um 18:00 Uhr, überall wo es Podcasts gibt!

iHeartMedia, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, and Radio Ambulante Studios today announced "The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos," a new interview podcast coming to My Cultura, iHeartMedia's podcast network dedicated to elevating Latino voices and stories, on September 17, 2025. The series will bring together two of the most influential Latino journalists in the U.S. for their first-ever podcast and co-hosted video series."The Moment" is a multigenerational conversation between legendary journalist Jorge Ramos and acclaimed author and MSNBC contributor Paola Ramos. Together, this Emmy-award winning father-daughter duo will sit down with politicians, artists, activists, journalists and other top thinkers to tackle the issues of today with raw, unfiltered conversations and a distinctly Latino point of view. Guests this season will include Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani; actor, producer, comedian and activist John Leguizamo; lawyer and executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, Anthony Romero; internet personality, award-winning journalist and podcaster, V Spehar (@UnderTheDeskNews); Chilean-American writer and novelist, Isabel Allende; and more."Not only am I going back to the news, but this is an incredible opportunity to work for the first time in English and with my daughter Paola," said Jorge Ramos. "Few people know that we talk almost every single day over the phone about the news of the day. And now iHeartMedia's My Cultura and Radio Ambulante Studios are helping to make our intergenerational conversations public, and I'll always be grateful. With this podcast, we want to be the space where people go whenever they have something important to say about the Latino community."This new series will mark Jorge Ramos' debut in the podcasting space and return to reporting following his departure from being a television news anchor. Known worldwide for his fearless reporting style, Ramos will bring even more edge, curiosity and unfiltered perspectives into his new format. Alongside her dad, Paola will bring the show a fresh, modern voice informed by her journalism and political background, having served on campaigns for Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama."I'm looking forward to working in this new medium, which will allow us to have the type of in-depth conversations many people are yearning for today," said Paola Ramos. "Whether it's making sense of the state of politics, talking to artists or exposing new voices, our hope is for 'The Moment' to become a thought-provoking, intimate space that fosters understanding and curiosity in the midst of a highly polarized landscape. I can't think of a better team to be doing this with."The launch of "The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos" will expand the creative partnership between iHeartMedia's My Cultura Podcast Network and Radio Ambulante Studios, which announced a multi-show coproduction deal in 2024. Radio Ambulante Studios' award-winning Spanish language podcast, "Radio Ambulante," will also return for a new season - its 15th - at the end of September."We couldn't be more thrilled to be working with Paola and Jorge, two journalists whose work we've admired for a long time," said Radio Ambulante Studios' CEO Carolina Guerrero. "A partnership like this one, which leverages the editorial strength of Radio Ambulante Studios, the expertise of iHeart, and the uncompromising talent of our hosts, will allow us to reach enormous Latino audiences with a take on the news they won't find anywhere else.""Collaborating with Jorge and Paola on 'The Moment' is an exciting milestone for the network," said Leo Gomez, head of iHeartMedia's My Cultura Podcast Network. "'It embodies what we strive to do every day - deliver bold, authentic storytelling that reflects the richness and complexity of Latino life. Together with Radio Ambulante Studios, we're delivering conversations that will inform, inspire and connect."The My Cultura Podcast Network launched May 2021 in collaboration with Enrique Santos, iHeartMedia's top-rated on-air personality and President and Chief Creative Officer of iHeartLatino. Since launch, the network has seen steady listener growth and has become home to more than 60 podcasts including hit series "Chiquis and Chill," "Princess of South Beach,'' "Wrestling with Freddie," "Sacred Scandal," "Radio Ambulante," "Magical Rewind," "He Said, Ella Dijo with Eric Winter and Roselyn Sanchez," "Enrique Santos Podcast," "You vs You with Lex Borrero" and many more. In tandem with the network's fourth anniversary this past June, it was announced that Eva Longoria and her studio Hyphenate Media Group joined actor, producer, entrepreneur and activist Wilmer Valderrama as stakeholders of My Cultura.The first episode of "The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos" will premiere September 17, with new episodes released weekly on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.

Send us a textThe final part of our podcast season of, 'Dodgy 90s Superhero Movies' is here, and this week, we take a look back at the most dodgy and the most 90s of the bunch, 1997's, Spawn. A movie that many (including us) have (had?) very fond memories of. Does it hold up though? Just how bad does the CG look in 2025? More importantly, can a movie have both pretty good visual effects and, well, perhaps the worst example of VFX in mainstream movie history? Oh, the answer is yes by the way. Still, with a genuinely compelling performance from John Leguizamo and a villainess turn from Martin Sheen, it has to be worth a watch, right?.....Right?Listen in via the link in the bio. 

On this episode the editors dive deep into our fall AT issue with dramaturg/journalist Dezi Tibbs, then dig into Latin American representation with playwright-performer John Leguizamo.

The new play "The Other Americans" was written by John Leguizamo, and stars Leguizamo as a laundromat owner in Queens who is grappling with secrets and trying to keep his business afloat. Things come to a head when his son, Nick, played by Trey Santiago-Hudson, returns from a stay at a mental health facility. Leguizamo and Santiago-Hudson discuss the play, which is running at the Public Theater through October 19.

This week, we cover one of the most ill-advised, weirdest adaptations of any kind: Super Mario Bros.! Released in 1993, this movie was a travesty of an adaptation of the NES Super Mario Bros games. Based on Super Mario World, having been recently released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the movie barely resembles the bright, colorful world that everyone knew with the original Super Mario Bros, released in 1985 on the NES. Brought to the screen by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Samantha Mathis, and Dennis Hopper.

Pam is on assignment, but Dave and Tara are bravely carrying on without her. What Now brings us such items as the first news blurb Tara probably ever saw about the Texas mom who came up with a murder-for-hire scheme to advance her 13-year-old daughter's cheerleading career to the 1,000,000th update on reigning Sassiest Boy In America Ian Svenonius (LET IT END). Jane admits she can't be objective about R.E.M. generally and Out Of Time specifically, but at least she's right! The Doors is a five-dot pick we're dubious about; Paris Is Burning deserves not just the five dots it also gets but 10! 10! 10s across the board! Finally, we close on whether John Leguizamo proved to be One To Watch, and what associations we still have for Balthazar Getty beyond being an oil heir. If YOUR heroes have always been cowboys, you MUST listen. QUICK LINKS

[REBROADCAST FROM March 18, 2025] In a comedic drama film, stand-up comedian and actor John Leguizamo plays a man who finds himself in an unlikely friendship with a young woman searching for her estranged father on Facebook. The two of them just happen to have the same name: Bob Trevino.  Leguizamo and writer-director Tracie Laymon, who partly based the film on her own experience, joins us to discuss "Bob Trevino Likes It" which is now streaming on Hulu.

Fire investigator Dave Gudsen is assigned a new partner to help capture two arsonists. One has been setting fires with milk jugs filled with gasoline and grease. The other has been taunting officials with a delayed-ignition device that's burning grocery stores. Dave draws on his experience to write a novel about a heroic arson investigator with unusual insight into his suspect's mind. To Detective Michelle Calderone, the book reads more like a confession. She begins to wonder whether her partner's uncanny ability to pinpoint these fires' origins is because he's been setting them himself.Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett star in the Apple TV+ series “Smoke,” inspired by the podcast “Firebug.” The show also features Greg Kinnear, John Leguizamo, and Anna Chlumsky. As Dave closes in on the other arsonist he's hunting, Michelle secretly collects evidence to learn whether the smoke surrounding her partner will lead to actual fire.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "SMOKE" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: milkin' it.

On this episode of Bingeworthy, host Mike DeAngelo heads back into the burning world of Apple TV+'s ‘Smoke', a gripping slow-burn crime drama based on the true story of a serial arsonist and the investigator determined to stop him. The series follows arson investigator Dave Gudsen (Taron Egerton), a small-town arson investigator who appears to be a dependable family man. But as the series progresses, a darker truth is revealed - SPOILER ALERT for Episode 2: Dave is secretly setting fires and unraveling psychologically at a dangerous pace. Investigators team up to take Dave down once and for all. The series also stars Greg Kinnear, Jurnee Smollett, Rafe Spall, John Leguizamo, Anna Chlumsky, and more.John Leguizamo joins the podcast to discuss his role on the show. Showrunner Dennis Lehane actually wrote the role of Ezra Esposito, Dave's disgraced former partner, for Leguizamo, which was both flattering and a little eyebrow-raising.

In this episode of 'Need Some Introduction,' host Victor, along with co-host Darren, delve into episode 4, titled 'Strawberry,' of the Apple TV series 'Smoke.'

Key moments discussed include Dave's inappropriate behavior during a lecture, Calderon's ongoing investigation, and the absurd and surreal final scenes, which suggest a fantasy element. The episode also covers how audiences might react to these developments, the upcoming introduction of John Leguizamo's character, and ends with a brief detour into the new season of 'Dexter Resurrection' and anticipation for upcoming films such as Ari Aster's 'Edington' and David Cronenberg's 'The Shrouds.' mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com 00:00 Introduction and Current Shows 00:43 Murderbot Finale Discussion 02:52 Superman Movie Review 06:51 Superman Movie Critique 13:01 Superman Movie Comparisons 30:57 Smoke Episode 4: Strawberry 34:11 Dramatic Scene Analysis 34:25 Dave's Insane Lecture 35:11 Freddy's Disastrous Reaction 36:24 Calderon's Strategy and Freddy's Stockpile 38:22 Dave's Suspicious Behavior 42:26 Convenience Store Encounter 47:00 Calderone's Investigation 59:28 Dexter Resurrection Discussion 01:03:55 Upcoming Movies and Final Thoughts

Fran and Babs from Over/underrated podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Fran's choice Chef. Chef (2014) is a comedy drama road trip film, written, directed and starring Jon (Iron Man) Favreau. Also starring Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Amy Sedaris, Emjay Anthony, and Dustin Hoffman, along with Robert Downey Jr. Miami Chef Carl Casper is the head chef at a popular LA restaurant but clashes with the restaurant owner over the menu. When he receives a negative food review from a prestigious food critic and blogger Ramsey Michel he unintentionally starts a Twitter (hello 2014!) spat. After a failed attempt to serve innovative cuisine to Michel and redeem his status, Casper quits and decides to take his food on the road in a food truck and drag his son along for the ride. Chef is a charming and easy going film, even if it is occasionally a vehicle for Favreau's ego. If you enjoy food and hold nostalgia for a time when Twitter was a fun social media platform then Chef is the film for you. Chef scores highly across all categories apart from repeat viewing to give an overall rating of 3.70.

“Well, pumpkins, looks like it's the age-old dilemma. Style...or substance.” It's Pride season, and we watched the larger-than-life drag classic “To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything. Julie Newmar,” and we need a recount of our Princess Points. Over the past 30 years, this movie has secured itself as one of the most quotable comedies of the 90s. This isn't just a funny gay movie; this is a funny movie, period. We promise we didn't spend the entire 90 minutes parroting our favorite quotes back and forth, but when we did… we just couldn't help ourselves. Our three leads took these roles, inhabited them, and as the kids these days say— they ate. And left no crumbs. Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo took a huge risk accepting these roles, but boy did it pay off. Miss Vida Boheme, Noxeema Jackson, and Chi Chi Rodriguez are on the Mount Rushmore of movie drag queens, and this movie is a treasure to the gays. We acknowledge some gender issues that are at play and some outdated terminology, but the script and the performances all came from a place of love. Clock the Grande Dames of drag in the opening and closing scenes and try to keep tally with us. Get ready for a fun one… Red and Wild. That's our theme!

This Pride Month, Mark Radulich and Sean Comer celebrate the flamboyant, fearless, and fiercely important legacies of three trailblazing films: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995), and Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001). While each tells its own unique story—from a desert drag road trip across the Australian outback to a heartfelt exploration of gender identity through glam rock cabaret—they are all interconnected by the historical arc of queer visibility in cinema. These films didn't just showcase LGBTQ+ characters—they centered them, in eras where that was still an act of rebellion.Priscilla broke ground internationally, putting Australian queer cinema on the global map and normalizing drag culture long before RuPaul's Drag Race made it mainstream. Just one year later, To Wong Foo introduced Middle America to drag queens with heart, humor, and dignity—starring mainstream Hollywood actors like Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo at the height of their careers. Then came Hedwig, a deeply personal indie musical about gender, trauma, and artistic expression, which has since become a cult favorite and a cornerstone of trans representation in modern film and theater. Together, these films reflect the evolution of queer and trans narratives—from coded subtext to full-throated declarations of identity and humanity.More than just products of their time, these movies pushed culture forward. They asked audiences to look beyond binary norms and embrace love, transformation, and self-expression in all forms. Whether through sequins, ballads, or beat-up buses, these stories assert—loudly and proudly—that queer people, drag performers, and trans individuals deserve joy, complexity, and a place in the cinematic canon. And as we revisit them in 2025, their messages feel just as urgent, defiant, and beautiful as ever.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
