Special Edition: NBTP!!!

Somebody calls you “Hispanic” and you hear something else entirely. We sit down with Rosalinda for a special edition that starts with a real identity check: why she answers “Mexican” every time, how she thinks about Latino and Latina as umbrella terms in the United States, and why getting specific can be a form of respect. If you’ve ever googled “Hispanic vs Latino vs Mexican” or struggled with what word fits, this conversation puts the human side back into the definition. 

Then we pivot hard into an Oscars 2026 hangout, pulled straight from our natural chaos: Michael B. Jordan takes Best Actor for Sinners, we shout out Ryan Coogler, and we keep coming back to One Battle After Another as a movie worth watching for the performances alone. We also drop context around Fruitvale Station and why it still hits, plus quick reactions to nominees, categories, and the weird reality that half the award-season films are “wait, what is that?” until the winners list pops up. 

The surprise turn is AI. We talk about those deepfake-style tribute videos that bring Kobe, Tupac, and Michael Jackson back on screen and why it can feel spooky instead of sweet. Where’s the line between honoring someone and using them? 

If you like cultural identity talk, movie recommendations, Oscars reactions, and honest questions about AI, hit play. Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review with the label you claim for yourself and why.

Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:46

Welcome to a special edition of the Nobody's Talking podcast. We are here with yours truly, Rosalinda. And we are going to talk about the difference because there was a discussion earlier about uh Hispanics, Latinos, Latinas, Mexicans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Puerto Ricans. And it was told to me that I'm not Hispanic, I'm Mexican. So now, welcome to this special edition of the Nobody's Talking podcast. We are here with Rosalinda. What's happening?

Yes, I am Mexican. And every time somebody asks me what you are, I'm gonna say I'm Mexican.

SPEAKER_01 2:27

Why?

SPEAKER_02 2:28

And why? Because I was born in Mexico and raised in Mexico and came here to the U.S. Okay. To me, like I told you earlier, Latinas is basically people that they are here in the United States, that they come from, they live here in the United States, they were born here in the United States, but they're from Mexico, they are from Venezuela, from another Latin country. Okay. They're called Latinos. Latinos, uh, they're here in the United States. I call myself, and every time I can't, I'm Mexican.

SPEAKER_00 3:08

So when they say, now do you get offended?

SPEAKER_02 3:11

No, or you don't get offended, but you just No, I don't get offended, but um I'm gonna tell them I'm Mexican. When it said, Oh, you're Hispanic, I'm Mexican. Yes, Mexicans are under the umbrella of Spanish because we speak Spanish. Right. But if you know where a person is from, especially like if they were born there, so you want to say yes, I am Mexican.

SPEAKER_00 3:37

Very interesting.

SPEAKER_02 3:39

So now that you know, I'm Mexican. I'm not don't call me Latina, Hispanic, Mexican.

Deroy Lindo in Centers. I love Deroy Lindo. Sean Penn, who won, excuse me, in one battle after another. And Stellan. Stellan, Stellan Skarsgard and Centennial Value. Sean Penn, I'm gonna tell y'all right now. Man, this cat, because okay, so Sean Penn was in one battle after another, and Benicio del Toro. They both did fantastic. But Sean Penn, man, y'all, for the for all the old people, y'all remember Sean Penn, who was Spicoli, and uh Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This dude's acting. They say he did a real good job. Um, it was a movie called Milk. I guess he was a governor. I think he was gay. I forget what he was a governor, he was he was in politics. I think it was the governor. I forget of what uh state. Um, but they say he did real good in milk. Sean Penn, if you saw like his earlier movies and he played that Coley, he was just like some surfer burnout dude, but he played the role real good. I'm telling y'all, all go watch one battle after another. Because Sean Penn, man, he he did a fantastic job. I was sitting there when I was watching it the whole time. Every time he came on screen with my mouth open, like like the dude is just, he's so, I mean, that's what you're supposed to do when you're an actor, but he was so believable. I'm like, man, it is. Let's let's see what else we got. Oh, so our best supporting actress, uh L Fanning and uh Centennial, or oh actually, I said Centennial, my bad. Sentimental value. Yeah, I'm sitting there trying to look real fast. My apologies. So L Fanning and the other guy that the name of the movie is Sentimental Value. Uh good lord, how do you say her name?

Oh my lord. So look. Oh, listen, that's good because they noticed when you said Frankenstein, uh, you know, Frankenstein is on Netflix. So it's good that they include that. I wonder when did they start? Because before, sometimes some of the Netflix shows didn't get a lot of play. Hamnet, obviously the guy, one battle after another, for best adaptive screenplay, he was the winner of that. Best original screenplay, that's the Ryan Coogler. I see his outfit, that's what you call casket clean. You know what casket clean means?
