Unicorn and Chill: A review of Selena, The Series

In this episode we have an honest conversation about Selena, The Series.

Today on the podcast we take it back to the 90’s where hair was big, pagers were cool, and Selena (Selena Quintanilla-Pérez) was taking the world by storm. This episode we finally get to discuss Selena, The Series which is streaming now on Netflix. After waiting over a year to watch both parts we share our thoughts and complicated feelings and opinions about this most recent take on the Tejano and Pop music icon. In this episode you’ll hear:

• Our general thoughts on the series and how does it compare to the 1997 Selena movie
• Some of our concerns (and perhaps disappointments) with the series 
• We’ll discus colorism within the Latine community, particularly in film 
• How much should an actor resemble the person they are portraying
• Machismo culture and its role it played in Selena the series 
• The importance of good story telling
• We also share our admiration and respect for the Selena 

We’d love to know your thoughts, did you enjoy Selena the series? What’s your favorite Selena song? Did you prefer the movie or the series? Let us know, all of our information is down below. 

We wrap up our lovely episode in our Happy Place, hint* “We don’t talk about catching children’s movie theme songs” and challenges for those who do not like challenges.
