Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey light up your Día de Muertos with their heartfelt Reaction & Review of Pixar/Disney's Coco (2017), directed by Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3, Finding Nemo) and co-directed by Adrian Molina (Coco, Burrow). This vibrant musical adventure follows young Miguel Rivera (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez, Selena's Family, Real Women Have Curves) who dreams of becoming a musician—despite his family's generations-old ban on music. After a mysterious string of events, Miguel is transported to the colorful Land of the Dead, where he meets charming trickster Héctor (voiced by Gael García Bernal, The Motorcycle Diaries, Mozart in the Jungle), and accidentally earns the blessing of his idol—Frida Kahlo cameo aside remix! With the help of beloved star Ernesto de la Cruz (voiced by Benjamin Bratt, Doctor Strange, Miss Congeniality), Miguel embarks on an emotional journey to uncover his family's past and lift its musical curse. Standout characters include Miguel's grandmother Abuelita (Renée Victor) and sweet great-great-grandmother Mamá Coco (Ana Ofelia Murguía). Key moments include Miguel's dramatically emotional visit to Mamá Coco's memory-filled home, the unforgettable “Remember Me” performance in the candlelit courtyard, the dramatic chase across floating marigold bridges, and the tear-jerking finale that underscores the power of family, memory, and forgiveness. With its stunning visuals, captivating performances, and an unforgettable soundtrack fully steeped in Mexican culture, Coco remains one of Pixar's most beloved and visually rich films.

Joy Huerta and Benjamin Velez might come from very different musical worlds — Latin pop and musical theatre — but their collaboration on Real Women Have Curves proves just how powerful a cross-genre partnership can be. Meeting for the first time over Zoom in the middle of the pandemic, these two composers built trust, respect, and a Tony-nominated Broadway score entirely online before ever meeting in person. In this episode, they share how they developed unique musical identities for each character, the surprising ways their backgrounds complemented each other, and why their creative process was built on laughter, voice memos, and a lot of mutual admiration. They also open up about the challenges of adaptation, the emotional toll of cutting songs, and the magic of writing a show that celebrates culture, womanhood, and resilience. Joy discusses her transition from pop music to theatre and how it expanded her creative vocabulary, while Benjamin talks about learning to let go of perfection and embrace joyful collaboration. Plus, the duo reflects on what it means to be “activated” — a word you'll never hear the same way again after this conversation. Joy Huerta is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, best known as one half of the internationally acclaimed Latin pop duo Jesse & Joy. Benjamin Velez is an ASCAP award-winning composer whose work has been developed by Lincoln Center Theater, Ars Nova, and the Public Theater. Together, they co-composed the original Broadway score for Real Women Have Curves, now playing at the James Earl Jones Theatre.

In this episode, we sit down with the dynamic Elizabeth Rodriguez—actress, Broadway star, and proud Nuyorican—for a conversation about her journey through some of television and theatre’s most impactful roles. From her breakout as Aleida Diaz on Orange Is the New Black to her polarizing turn as Paz Valdez on Power, Elizabeth opens up about the love, hate, and everything in between that comes with playing complex characters. We also dive into her latest film Allswell in New York, a raw and heartfelt portrayal of sisterhood and struggle, co-starring fellow Latina powerhouses Daphne Rubin-Vega and Liza Colón-Zayas. Elizabeth shares how growing up on Manhattan’s Upper East Side as the daughter of Puerto Rican parents shaped her perspective—and her passion for telling real, rooted stories. Plus, we talk about the growing wave of Latino narratives on stage, including Broadway’s current productions of Buena Vista Social Club and Real Women Have Curves, and why representation isn't just important—it's urgent. This is an unfiltered, inspiring look at identity, resilience, and the magic that happens when Latinas rise together.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They know they've kept you waiting, they know they've made you mad, but this time that we've spent creating is the best we've ever had… now cut, print… POD. The twins are opening up the grab bag of listener submitted theatre, pop culture, love, and life questions for you this week. Thoughts on the upcoming Tony nominations, word of mouth around Smash, Boop!, Real Women Have Curves, and Old Friends, as well as who they're throwing money down on a big win for (hint: it's in the title of the episode). Of course there's chatter about the season finale of The White Lotus, the Kenya Moore debacle on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, how Meryl Streep could and should be involved in Mamma Mia! 3, and a Traitors season 4 dream-casting session. Because all gays are casting directors! Listen in for all of that and more on this week's installment of DRAMA.

The Grammy-award winning artist, half of the Mexican sibling pop duo Jesse & Joy, is taking on a new role: as co-composer and lyricist for the Broadway musical Real Women Have Curves. Joy shares how music “literally saved her life,” the complexity of being raised by a machismo father who wanted her to be independent, and reflects on the curves life has thrown her way (early professional success, a wife, two babies, and now, a chance to be the first Mexican composer of a Broadway show in over 40 years!).To watch a special extended version of this interview, visit us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@latinatolatinaDuring preview performances (April 1 - April 26) use our special discount code (LTLPODCAST) at the box office or online at Telecharge: https://www.telecharge.com/Real-Women-Have-Curves-tickets?AID=BWY001451633&MC=LTLPODCAST&utm_source=discount&utm_campaign=RealWomenHaveCurvesSS&utm_medium=other&utm_id=BWY001451633

Judy, Judy, Judy! We're just mad about Judy Reyes. You Might Know Her From Birth/Rebirth, Claws, Scrubs, The Horror of Dolores Roach, Smile, Bringing out the Dead, One Day at a Time, and Devious Maids. We talk to Judy all about her Indie Spirit-nominated turn in the indie horror Birth/Rebirth which is a little Frankenstein, a little Thelma & Louise, a little Whatever Happened to Baby Jane–we highly recommend it! Judy takes us through the psychology of playing a grieving mother, acting opposite a child and a pig, and grounding the horror elements. Then, we dig deep into her oeuvre from playing Carla Espinosa for eight seasons on Scrubs to playing gay as Quiet Ann (no -e) in one of the best female ensembles on television on Claws. All that plus, coming in to elevate a horror flick like Smile, headlining the candy-coated Marc Cherry/Eva Longoria dark comedy Devious Maids, and forming a community with other Latina actors in this horrific (we hate but love it) industry. We love you.
