THE ONE & ONLY WEBSITE AND PODCAST DEDICATED TO MEXICAN GENRE FILMS OF THE PAST


El Arma Secreta (1992)
Sergio Goyri just worked on anything back in the 1990’s and when I say anything , I literally mean anything . If he wasn’t fighting in a post-apocalyptic future like in Comando De La Muerte & Reten , then he was shooting someone with a custom gun in rural Mexico like in Arma Infernal , or he was mythical-looking dude fighting a demon like in Trono Del Infierno . Sergio Goyri’s filmography is quite unique and it even gets more unique when he you see that he made an action-cri

Amanecer Sangriento (1992)
Ernesto (credited as “Sergio Goiry”) is a fucking dick. Why? For starters, he’s pretty bad with his wife Angelica (Gilda Garibay) & their two daughters since he lags it as a provider despite having the income to do so. Ahh, but I must mention that his source of income is in drug dealing and most of the money he makes ends up going to his mistress who’s totally not a great person either. Angelica’s parents are wealthy and are not fans of Ernesto at all, thus they try to help

Media Music and the Composers Who Shaped Mexico's Movie Soundtracks
If you’ve ever visited a repertoire theater in your city, chances are you’ve seen a film snipe of “OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION” right before the film unspooled on screen. And if you’ve seen that snipe, you’ve probably heard a funky tune playing with it. And if you’re anything like me the first time I heard it around 25 years ago, you’ve thought to yourself “what song is this?” There was a time when quick jingles like this were nameless and the composers were essentially ghosts.

Yo No La Mate (1993)
In Yo No La Mate (translated as “I Didn’t Kill Her”) , Mexican actor/all-around freak Sergio Goyri plays a guy that is falsely accused of murder. Did he really do it though? Was there even enough evidence to prove this? Was this really all word of mouth? Is there perhaps a bigger conspiracy going on? Why all the fuss? Why all the mess? What the hell is even going on? Felipe Alferez (Sergio Goyri) comes home with good news to his wife Yolanda (Azela Robinson) and it turns o

El Camaleon (1993)
The other day I watched Federico Fellini’s Roma and I was baffled and in awe at the same time because of how weird & beautiful it was. The very next day I watched Victor Martinez’s El Camaleon ("The Chameleon") and that movie also baffled me. Did I go awe to it as well? Not exactly, but I was amused by what I was watching. After all, Angel De La Peña transforms into Sergio Goyri . A transformation I never would've imagined in my weirdest, random fever dreams. An old prison
