3. The Love Triangle Theory

Ídolo: The Ballad of Chalino Sánchez

Chalino and his brother flee to the United States after the party in which he stalks his sister's attackers. When Chalino arrives in California, he meets a local drug lord with two prosthetic arms and an obsession with old mafia movies. In this episode we explore a love triangle theory that involves Chalino, a mob boss and his girlfriend and we'll delve deep on the role of "chisme" or gossip in the Chalino story.
