PODCAST: “Coco’s” Director Lee Unkrich Hints At More Pixar Multicultural Films, Oscar Talk with Clayton Davis, 2018’s Most Anticipated TV & Movies

01.12.2018 | By |


We’re starting 2018 off on the right foot with perhaps the most influential people in animation with Pixar’s COCO director Lee Unkrich and producer Darla K. Anderson who join us straight from their Golden Globe win and the first Golden Globe award for a Latino-themed animated film. We discuss why it took so long for Pixar to make a Latino film and if its financial and award acclaim will spawn off more multicultural animated films. Read More

Podcast: Bomba Estéreo Talks ‘AYO’ And Spanglish

08.18.2017 | By |

We’re sending our love and prayers to the people of Barcelona who suffered a senseless terrorist attack. But on a lighter note, this is probably one of the best podcast shows we’ve done. We chat with Mesfin Fekadu, music editor of the Associated Press, who broke the story about Despacito not being nominated at this year’s VMAs. Did this happen because of cultural bias? We dissect all the variables, along with some of our thoughts on whether MTV should start playing Spanish-language music videos. Then I talk to Colombia’s hottest band of the moment, Bomba Estéreo, about their new album AYO, music and race, coca leaves, payola in the music business, and their love for the street language of Spanglish.

TODAY Show: My August Movie and TV Preview

08.1.2017 | By |

This morning on the TODAY Show, I previewed some movies and TV shows that some of you might be interested in watching this August. Think of it as an August Preview. My wife liked many of what’s on this list, especially ‘Fun Mom Dinner’. I once again enjoy the new format they’re using when doing these monthly or weekend segments – sofa seats and a 200-inch TV screen! Feels like you’re hanging with friends in the living room watching movies. Read More

TODAY Show: ‘Wonder Woman,’ Katy Perry, ‘Queen Sugar’ S2

05.31.2017 | By |

As a frequent guest on the Today Show since 2012, these segments are my absolute favorites because of how informative they are. It takes me a full day of focus to research all the items, which are usually about 10 to digest, and put them into succinct words ready for television. I was very happy to be able to review ‘Wonder Woman‘ – the year’s most talked-about film – and share my thoughts on other must-watch movies, music albums, and TV shows for June.

Watch below and see what might pique your interest!

TODAY Show: Ricky Martin, Janet Jackson, Bradley Cooper

04.10.2017 | By |

It’s #FunDayMonday at the TODAY show this morning. I had a chance to discuss some couples gossip with Kathie Lee and Jenna Bush (Hoda is out on maternity leave), but my favorite topic was the Ricky Martin news about him being cast in FX’s upcoming miniseries “Versace: American Crime Story” premiering 2018. It’s a Latin affair since he’s joining Edgar Ramirez and Penelope Cruz in the show. Take a look above at the video and if you have a chance, listen to my “Highy Relevant” podcast when you can.
