El héroe de esta comedia fúnebre es un enfermo del pelo. Tiene pelo de más, pelo para regalar. Pero tiene miedo de perderlo, o de ponerlo en las manos equivocadas, o de vivir siempre pendiente de su suerte, a merced de la moda, las chicas incompetentes que lavan o los peluqueros irresponsables.

A los trece años, el héroe de Historia del llanto ha completado una formación progresista. Ha estado cerca de los que sufren y ha devorado toda la literatura militante que los años setenta obligan a leer en América Latina. Sin embargo, en septiembre de 1973, cuando asiste por televisión al putsch contra Salvador Allende y el Palacio de La Moneda arde en la pantalla, trata de llorar y se descubre seco. ¿Y si fuera sólo un fan de la lucha armada?

Forty years ago, Walt Kelly's comic strip character Pogo famously intoned: "We have met the enemy, and he is us." Now, as the evidence for climate change becomes overwhelming, we learn the hard reality behind that witticism. The possible destruction, and certain transformation, of the ecosphere has been brought about by our own activities. What will our new world look like? How will we - can we - adapt? The clash of a rapidly changing environment with earth's self-styled ruling species, humans, provides ample creative fodder for this riveting anthology of original science fiction.

From obscure VHS finds to the biggest box-office smashes, we dissect films with spirit and cinematic passion. Whether it’s a forgotten gem, a modern blockbuster, or Hollywood’s latest attempt at a reboot, we’re watching, debating, and occasionally yelling into the void about it. Think of us as the late-night movie conversation you wish you had — unfiltered, unapologetic, and always chasing the magic of great (or gloriously terrible) cinema. New episodes every week, your cinematic fix, served with a side of sarcasm.
