And we\u2019re back! We hope you all enjoyed the 100 YEARS, 100… SNUBS! May miniseries, but regular episodes are returning and did we come back with a special one! The Mixed Reviews co-host and journalist Luis Rendon joins us to talk about one of the most beloved musical biopics of all time, 1997\u2032s Selena<\/i>. The film follows the rise and sudden tragic end of Tejano music legend Selena Quintanilla, and catapulted actress Jennifer Lopez in a major way. Lopez stayed in the conversation to earn a Best Actress in a Musical\/Comedy nomination at the Globes, but the Oscars overlooked her now-treasured performance that is often remarked on for her ability to recreate the real life icon that she played.<\/p>\n

This episode, we discuss the many phases on Jennifer Lopez\u2019s career from her breakout in 1997 to her emergence into a music career and triumph at the Super Bowl Half Time Show with Shakira. We also discuss the massive casting search that landed her the role, the film as a tool of healing in the immediate aftermath of Selena\u2019s murder, and the visual style of Tejano music videos brought to the film.<\/p>\n

Topics also include the 1997 Best Actress race, the tradition of post-Drag Race on VH1 cinema, and character actress legend Lupe Ontiveros.<\/p>\n
