    People are Broke. Now What?

    Democratic socialism is having a moment, but is America actually moving left, or are people simply desperate for an economy that works? This week, Chibbi and Rooster are joined by Mandy Lynn for a sprawling conversation about capitalism, democratic socialism, political branding, affordability, and whether any of these ideas can survive outside deep-blue cities. They break down what democratic socialism actually means, why Bernie Sanders helped drag the word “socialism” back into mainstream politics, and why so many Americans support progressive policies until somebody slaps a political label on them. The conversation moves from universal healthcare and taxing the rich to Citizens United, housing inequality, corporate subsidies, political literacy, fascism, and the growing nihilism of younger generations who increasingly feel like the future has been priced out of reach. Is this a socialist revolution, or just an affordability crisis? Can democratic socialists govern as effectively as they campaign? Can the movement scale nationally when the Senate, Electoral College, and decades of anti-socialist messaging are stacked against it? And does America’s real problem come down to capitalism, branding, education—or the three t*****s? In This Episode What democratic socialism actually means The difference between Democrats, social democrats, socialists, and communists Why progressive policies often poll better than the word “socialism” Housing, healthcare, childcare, wages, and the affordability crisis Whether taxing the rich is enough Citizens United, corporate subsidies, and money in politics Why winning a Democratic primary is not the same as winning nationally The political power of millennials and Gen Z Why political literacy may matter more than political branding The relationship between fascism, education, truth, and public discourse Why real political conversations still happen face-to-face Whether democratic socialism can become a lasting federal movement Follow Puro Pinche Podcast for more bold opinions, sharp debates, ridiculous tangents, and conversations that feel like hanging out with your smartest, messiest friends on the back porch.

    80% of Movies Suck. Fight Us.

    What starts as a rant about Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day quickly turns into a full-blown debate about the state of modern filmmaking. Are blockbuster movies getting worse? Is horror quietly becoming the most creative genre in Hollywood? Has A24 lost its fastball? And is Christopher Nolan a visionary… or just really good at making smart-looking movies? Chibbi and Rooster dive into why some films become cultural landmarks while others disappear before the credits roll, debate whether modern studios are chasing spectacle instead of storytelling, defend (and attack) some of today’s biggest directors, and somehow end up crowning Santiago the undisputed MVP of Disclosure Day. If you’ve ever walked out of a theater thinking, “That should’ve been better,” this episode is for you. 🍿 In This Episode Why Disclosure Day became this week’s punching bagMonumental vs. instrumental art—and why the distinction mattersIs Christopher Nolan overrated?Why horror might be Hollywood’s most exciting genre right nowSpielberg, Scorsese, Ari Aster, Alex Garland, A24 & the future of filmmakingFranchise fatigue, nostalgia, and Hollywood’s obsession with IPWhy Jaws still works nearly 50 years laterStreaming, physical media, and who really owns your movies anymore ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 — Disclosure Day immediately catches strays01:57 — Welcome back, sluts 👋03:09 — Why horror movies are having a renaissance04:30 — Monumental vs. Instrumental Art explained11:49 — Do 80% of horror movies actually suck?14:25 — Christopher Nolan: genius or overrated?17:35 — Ari Aster, Alex Garland & modern auteurs19:58 — Dune, franchises, and blockbuster filmmaking22:20 — Why Disclosure Day falls apart27:08 — Is private equity ruining Hollywood?29:10 — What are the best movies of 2026 so far?34:11 — Has A24 lost its fastball?42:16 — Santiago deserves Employee of the Year 🏆45:04 — The Death of Robin Hood vs. Disclosure Day48:09 — Why Jaws is still a masterpiece53:50 — Physical media, streaming & why owning movies still matters 💬 Question of the Week What’s one movie that everyone else seems to love… but you think is completely overrated?

    The United States of Nope

    Texas wants to leave. Rural Illinois wants a divorce. Oregon keeps eyeing Idaho like it’s checking out someone across the bar. So… what the hell is going on? This week, Chibbi and Rooster unpack the growing wave of secession movements across the country and ask a bigger question: have we gotten so politically divided that we’d rather redraw the map than learn to live with each other? Along the way they wander through the history of states breaking apart, why rural communities feel left behind, whether Texas should split into five states, why Brexit keeps coming up, and how culture wars have convinced everyone that someone else is stealing their future. It’s political. It’s philosophical. It’s occasionally ridiculous. And yes, they absolutely spend way too much time redesigning the state of Texas. In This Episode Why Illinois’ “New Illinois” movement isn’t as crazy as it soundsThe difference between political representation and actually feeling representedWhy cities and rural communities keep talking past each otherGerrymandering, the Senate, and why compromise feels like a dirty wordThe fantasy (and nightmare) of Texas becoming its own countryWhy our real problem might not be politics—it might be empathy Timestamps 0:00 — “Wake Me Up Inside” deserves a therapy session ~2:00 — Mexico’s heartbreaking World Cup exit (we’re still in denial) ~5:00 — Is Mitch McConnell okay? ~7:00 — Illinois wants a divorce: the New Illinois movement ~10:00 — When democracy stops feeling representative ~15:00 — Why splitting states doesn’t magically solve the problem ~20:00 — Is this really politics… or culture? ~23:00 — Why are we so quick to take our ball and go home? ~31:00 — Gerrymandering, compromise, and a system under strain ~35:00 — Demonizing “the other side” is making everyone poorer ~39:00 — What if Texas actually became its own country? ~46:00 — So… what do the next 250 years of America look like?

    That'll Do, Pig

    Season Four is here and we are not easing in quietly. Chibbi, Rooster, and special guest Paul are back breaking down the Grammys, Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime takeover, and why grown men were more upset about two guys almost kissing than all the ass on screen. We dive into the Epstein list chaos, the “Frank Sinatra Problem,” and why America might need to stop recognizing problems and start actually doing something about them. Then we get local. Texas politics is heating up: Jasmine Crockett vs. James Talarico, Paxton vs. Cornyn, and whether that Fort Worth Senate race is the canary in the coal mine. Plus: Why Sinners was the best movie of the year.Why the NBA should consider a “Blacks vs. Whites” All-Star Game (relax, we explain). Why Russell Westbrook is your new life coach. And why Babe still slaps. It’s messy. It’s funny. It’s unapologetically Texan. Welcome back to the Puro Pinche Podcast! Support the pod and checkout merch at puropinchepod.com/pod

    Puro Pinche 2025

    The FINAL POD of 2025 is here, and, shocker, Chibbi and Rooster are still standing, ending the year 16-0 (in their own minds). To celebrate an entire 365 days that felt like getting trapped in a Chili's line on a Friday night, they brought back the one and only Paul to help clean up the mess. In the inaugural (and only) 'Puro Pinche Year-in-Review the guys definitively prove that your favorite list is b******t, dissect why the Stranger Things kids look like they’re interviewing for regional management positions, and explain how Netflix is somehow both a necessary evil and "f*****g fascist" for demanding you pay for your own subscription. Plus, they unpack the biggest war crimes we saw this year and debate we should all invent our own Peace Prizes (looking at you FIFA). Finally, they review the only list that matters: The Puro Pinche Top 25 of 2025, featuring all the greatest hits like the Big B******t Bill, the 'furries bill,' and other things they barely remember talking about, movies and music they loved, and things had a great (or awful) 2025. Before signing off for good (just for a few weeks, pinche relax), they deliver their final motivational speech: Don't bring that 2025 mierda into the holidays. It's a 2026 problem now, so go enjoy your whiskey and quit stressing. Support the pod and get some merch at puropinchepod.com/pod

    Puro Pinche Frawly, Fernet, and F*ckery

    This week on the Puro Pinche Podcast, we spiral gloriously from Simone Biles’ his-and-hers laundry setups to San Francisco demanding justice for a community cat murdered by a self-driving taxi. Chibbi, Rooster, and special guests Travis and the Homie Chris debate dating apps for dog people, 50-year mortgages (lol), Greg Abbott’s “Let’s Roll” campaign slogan, and whether the Democrats fall apart like a cheap piñata. We also celebrate San Antonio restaurants snagging Michelin honors, drag some awful slang decisions, and deliver a movie roundup that includes nuclear panic, Guillermo del Toro, and a horror film that’s basically trauma in 4K. Plus: a little Fernet wisdom and a reminder to stop tap-dancing on burning stages. It’s chaos, cariño, and all the spicy commentary you expect from the only podcast that matters.
