In this episode, Donna and I dive straight into peak 2000s nostalgia as we review and recap Jammin’ in Jamaica, the iconic MyScene movie that shaped a whole generation of girls. We talk drama, betrayal, soundtrack, and all the chaotic energy that only My Scene girlies can deliver. Grab a snack, get cozy, and relive this with us.

In this episode, we dive deep with longtime friend Donna — covering everything from financial advice to formative media and much, much more. So whether you’re relaxing, cleaning the house, or getting ready for a night out, let this episode be the perfect background for activity of the day.

If only Halloween could get any scarier! Oh wait, it can. On this week's episode we dive in to the most diabolical, most frightening and most excruciating horror stories that have ever and will ever cross your path. Listen if you dare!

Sometimes the universe just lines things up perfectly. Daria showed up at my door selling solar panels, and somehow we ended up talking for two hours straight. A few days later, she was sitting in front of a mic. In this episode, we dive into everything—from sales stories to halloween costumes. And to think this episode almost never came to air.

James returns for a laid-back catch-up full of laughs, tangents, and real talk. No script, no structure—just two friends talking about everything and nothing all at once.

In this episode of Hocicona Hour, I dive into Strangers: Chapter 2 and share my thoughts on the tension, the twists, and whether it lived up to the hype. I also chat about a few other recent films I’ve watched—what worked, what flopped, and what surprised me. Think of this as a movie night debrief with a friend who has strong opinions, snacks in hand, and no spoilers spared.

In this episode, I catch up with Billy and we cover everything from new movies and plays to what’s going on at work. The conversation drifts into all kinds of topics—whatever comes to mind—making it a fun, relaxed chat you can drop in on.

In this episode, I sit down with Lena, the owner of Buck Lucky, to catch up and just have a good old-fashioned chit chat. We talk about life, creativity, and everything that popped into our brains. It’s easygoing, full of laughs, and a peek into behind the scenes.

This week on Hocicona Hour, it’s just me—solo dolo—taking a deep dive into Weapons. I break down the film through summary and critique, unpacking its story, pacing, and standout moments while giving my honest takes on what worked and what didn’t. Think of it as part recap, part review, and part plática about cinema’s hits and misses. Whether you’ve seen Weapons already or are curious if it’s worth the watch, I’ve got you covered.

This episode is all about slowing down and reconnecting. James and I catch up on what we’ve both been up to lately—new work ventures, recent travels, and everything in between. A laid-back conversation that feels like hanging out with an old friend.

Grab your popcorn (and maybe a nightlight) because in this episode, I’m counting down my top 20 horror movies of all time. From spine-chilling classics to modern nightmares that will keep you up, I’ll share why each one made the list, the moments that left me breathless, and what makes them unforgettable. Whether you’re a seasoned horror fan or just dipping your toes into the creepy waters, this list has something to scare, thrill, and entertain.

In this heartwarming episode, we sit down with Nicole from the Milo Foundation, a nonprofit rescue organization devoted to saving animals and connecting them with loving forever homes. Together, we explore the emotional and logistical challenges of animal rescue, the power of second chances, and the community it takes to give every creature the life they deserve.

Whether you're an animal lover, a future adopter, or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes world of rescue, this conversation will leave you inspired and hopeful. Tune in to hear touching rescue stories, the Milo Foundation's philosophy on animal welfare, and...

In this first historical recap episode, we dive into the big question: what does it mean to be a historian? We explore how storytelling, memory, and research shape our understanding of the past—and why that matters now more than ever.

We break down the history and power of labor unions, the role of collective organizing, and how everyday people have shaped major historical shifts. Plus, we talk about primary sources (what they are and why they're gold), how to spot bias in historical narratives, and the importance of asking: whose story is this?

Because hi...

In this episode, I sit down with Lena, the owner of Buck Lucky, a thoughtfully curated shop rooted in style, community, and self-expression. We talk about how Buck Lucky came to be, the ups and downs of running a creative business, and what it means to build something from scratch.

If you’ve ever wanted to start something of your own or just love hearing how people bring their ideas to life, this one’s for you.

Following the recap of Sinners, this episode takes a step into real-life territory. What do we mean when we talk about sin? Who defines it and how does it show up in our everyday lives? In this episode we reflect and rank seven deadly sins, discuss the implications and how sin has shaped us. Plug in and tune out- it's time for our first real platica!

Welcome to the first Recap and Review. On this week's episode we are covering Sinners. Tune in for a thorough review and our takes on the latest from director Ryan Coogler. You won't want to miss
