Saludos Caballeros

Olá, mis amigos! This week, we're headed south of the border as we watch two of the 'package films,' starting with Saludos Amigos from 1942, and then moving on to 1944's The Three Caballeros. We'll talk about how one 'Grupo' of artists on a sight-seeing trip changed the artists, the studio, and the geo-political status of the 1940s. Other topics of interest include: dating advice from British comedian Rowan Atkinson, one-half of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the musical layerings of the samba, and the semantic difference between Chipotle take-out and flying donkeys. (Although we never do figure out where piñatas come from.) So venha conosco (come with us) on a Latin American adventure!
