Speaker 1: More Than a Movie is back with season two of

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: the award winning film podcast. Season one focused on one movie,

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: American Me, but in season two, we're diving into several

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: movies that made a less deadly impact on Latino cinema.

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Alex Fumero, and each week I'm going

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: to talk to the people behind some of my favorite movies.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: From The Godfather Andy Garcia.

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: In the early eighties, when I was loading trucks, there

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: was a rumor that they were going to do Godfather three,

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: and I remember saying to myself, that's my part.

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: To the o G spy kid Alexa Penevega, you.

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 3: Had Carlo Gacino, who's the coolest mom ever. You had

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: Antonio who's handsome, amazing, charismatic, and then Carbon and Juny.

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 3: I felt like a lot of other kids felt like

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 3: this could.

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: Be me to the legend behind La Bamba, Blue Diamond Phillips.

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: There are very few opportunities in life where you go,

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: this is the big one. I read that and I went,

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: this is the big one.

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: We sat down with pioneers like Luis Valdez, who paved

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: the way with projects like Zutsuit.

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 4: I decided that in some ways. My destiny was in

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 4: my head because I had been creative all along, since

24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: I was a kid. So years later I went to

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 4: Sasa Chavis Jusisi and I pitched him the idea of

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: a theater up buy and four farm workers.

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: We spoke with the Academy Award winner behind your New

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Favorite Spider Man, Phil Lord.

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 5: Amy Pascal came to us and said, do you want

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 5: to make an animated Spider Man movie? And we said

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 5: no way, hung up, and then I called her back.

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 5: I was like, whatever, it's Miles Morause like, I love it.

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 5: We'll say tomorrow.

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: An indie filmmaker Natalie Morales, who made two movies in

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: one pandemic year.

36
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 6: I mean, when you watch Language Lessons, you'll know why

37
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 6: we were able to do it in four afternoons. But yeah,

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 6: I was alone in my house, you know, making it.

39
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 6: So then while I was editing Language Lessons, plan p

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 6: came back and I was like, really, how how are

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 6: gonna what?

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: How how are we going.

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 6: To do that? That doesn't make it sense. We'd like

44
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 6: the first production coming back.

45
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,160

00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,080

00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: murder in Movies, listen to season two, but if you

49
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,600
