La Bamba! (1987) #2 | Ritchie Valens & Luis Valdez
Manage episode 421528060 series 2870695
Today we finish up Ritchie's story with some more background on the filmmaker and the movie I've come to love even more and apparently get goddamn defensive about.
- Reviewing the legacy of the film via a look back with Valdez and Lou Diamond Phillips
- TV Tropes about "La Bamba!"
- My takeaways about the making of the film in 3 parts
- A look back at Luis Valdez's career and activism featuring a note about his cousin ("that vato?") Caesar Chavez and the work of Teatro Campesino
- A brief look at the historical significance of American Pauchocos with a detour into some James Ellroy because I wanted to and it's my show, dammit
- More of Ritchie Valens' life story and rock n' roll legacy continued from last episode
- Me getting REAL cranky about a douchey Pitchfork article I read while conducting research for this one
- An update on the show's ongoing relationship with Radish Mattress, Inc
