Justina Machado On Why People Love Animation So Much

01.28.2022 | By |

This week on episode 170 of the Highly Relevant podcast, I welcome the beloved actress Justina Machado known to many as Penelope Alvarez in the Emmy-nominated hit comedy reboot of “One Day at a Time”. In the following Q&A, we discuss her new voice-acted film, “The Ice Age: Adventures of Buckwild,” and what her role as the zorilla ‘Zee’ means for Latino representation. Our conversation also covered several interesting subjects such as the world’s love for animated films, why Hispanic animated films succeed and real-life Latino films and television shows don’t, and why she stopped using the term Hispanic to describe herself. Catch the video interview on our YouTube channel below. Read More

The World’s End (Movie Review)

08.23.2013 | By |

The “1-4-0″: @TWEMovie is a mix of the first 2 Pegg and Frost films – funny, witty, swift cuts and packs and emotional punch beneath it.

The Gist: After an attack of nostalgia, an ol’ high school friend decides to get the boys back together to finish what they started decades ago – complete 12 straight pubs until they reach the king of all pubs… The World’s End. But shit goes horribly wrong again when something stands in their way.

The Highlights: The fact that Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright made such an entertaining movie about such a ludicrous premise is just pure talent at work. This movie will connect with people. Why? It explores themes of nostalgia, regrets, bygone youth and growing up.

The Lowlights: The premise can be seen as the weakest link, but the guys make it work. There is a plot twist that is just ridiculous which has shades of Hot Fuzz’s storyline.  

Pay or Nay?: Pay for it because it is a very funny film with a level of human connection. Ultimately, these are the types of movies Wright, Pegg and Frost do and we are just lucky to be witnesses to them!
