My name is Salem Tovar & every other Sunday, I deep dive into the latest pop culture trends/topics and examine them way too seriously to see how they affect us socially & mentally in the silly little real world beyond our screens—encouraging everyone to laugh at life no matter how serious the topic is, but also to provoke the thought that things are far more profound than they appear!

Emilia Pérez Is The Messiest Movie I've Ever Seen- and It Deserves All the Hate It's Getting...In Today's video I will be deep diving into all the reasons the movie musical Emilia Pérez is under fire in all types of communities recently for being an offensive and tone-deaf mess. After clips that went viral on tiktok of Selena Gomez' bad spanish accent, to cringey dances and musical lyrics- people were shocked that this trainwreck of a film was being made and even praised. Especially its being inaccurate in their depiction of latino culture and other marginalized communities, and why latino people everywhere on tiktok, youtube and even the news are mad at this film. From the producer being terrible behind the scenes, having bad writing, confusing horrible plot devices, to major casting problems- such as Selena Gomez being casted in a problematic role in which she can't speak the language and the role reinforcing bad stereotypes about latino people. People are also upset that this movie musical won over Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's Wicked, despite Emilia Pérez having the worst music ever heard in a musical. We need to talk about how one film changed movie musical history forever, but for the worse! This is a lot deeper and far more problematic than you think and I'm here to tell you why!
