Becoming An Icon

There is a mysticism that covers Latin America. Stories of monsters, spirits, and tales of dark family secrets. Sure, it sounds like a telenovela, but literature calls it Gothic: tales that frighten and force us to confront our fears.   

Now, Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has reimagined the classic gothic story “Frankenstein.” But this time with a Latin American twist. 

Del Toro’s adaptation features  catholic imagery, long stares into the camera, and Guatemalan-born Hollywood superstar Oscar Isaac. Oscar gets into the film, the state of the country, and why he dropped Hernandez from his stage name. 

Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.

The Suarez family is back together as Mark and Ana sit down with the one and only America Ferrera! From the sushi restaurant debacle that started it all to the bittersweet final days on set, Betty's iconic glasses to her lesser-known extensions, fake laughter to real tears, the trio share cherished memories and lasting legacies of the show. Plus, el padre Tony Plana joins the chat to complete the Suarez family reunion and surprise America.

Danny Lux talks about his album being stolen! The hard drive that had his album that was supposed to drop on 2024 was stolen from his producers car. He also talks about moving out of his parents house, love life, new clothing, more!

In this out-of-this-world episode of In Our Own World, we take a journey through memories, emotions, and cosmic wisdom with a special guest who’s no stranger to the spotlight. Becky G sits down with her real-life friends, our beloved Space Commanders, Em and Gem—and what unfolds is nothing short of magical.

From iconic first impressions and what they had to do with a Selena bustier, to the nerves that still sneak in before she hits the stage, Becky G gets raw and real. She shares a heartfelt message to her younger self, her honest definition of love, breaks down the deeply personal layers behind her latest albums, and sheds light on how she stays rooted while navigating the chaos of stardom. No filter, no front.

Things get unhinged when Becky G takes on a ridiculous accent challenge—while reading her own quotes. Southern belle? Check. Shakespearean actor? Check. It’s high art, really. Consider yourself warned.

This is Becky G unplugged, unfiltered, and completely unforgettable.

Tune in for big laughter, true vulnerability, and major inspo—this episode is a time capsule on friendship and a reminder that even the brightest stars are still human. 

Featuring: Becky G, Emily Estefan, Gemeny Hernandez
