Episode 35 - Is Pixar's 'Coco' Too Mexican For Other Latinos? How Did Tom Cruise's 'The Mummy' Go So Wrong?

Highly Relevant with Jack Rico

 On episode 35 this week, we focus on Tom Cruise’s 'The Mummy' reboot which is out this weekend. I’ll be talking to Mike Sargent, Chief Film Critic of WBAI Radio who also contributes film reviews nationally on the FOX Business Network with Maria Bartiromo, on what went wrong and what it means for Universal Pictures Dark Universe. 

We also tackle Pixar’s new Latino movie 'Coco'. The trailer and cast announcements were released this week and we talk to Kellvin Chavez, former owner of LatinoReview.com and now Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of SplashReport.com to discuss if white audiences will go out in droves to watch a Mexican Pixar movie. That and a recap of the top headlines in US Latino pop culture this week!
