Podcast Appearance: Zoot Suit

It is with great pleasure that I can announce a new appearance on The Moustachioed Podcastio with Daniel Segura as we spent an intense time discussing Luis Valdez’s 1981 Zoot Suit, a musical that takes off from real historical events in wartime Los Angeles (the Sleepy Lagoon Murder and the Zoot Suit riots) and becomes something truly extraordinary and complex. You can get a sense of how complex by listening to Daniel and me wrestle with it for nearly 100 minutes. It stars, among others, the awe-inspiring Edward James Olmos as “El Pachuco,” who’s either protagonist Henry Reyna’s projected alter ego, an allegorical representation of Chicano consciousness, or perhaps an Aztec deity. Aren’t movies great?

You can access the episode via Daniel’s links page or just load up “Moustachioed Podcastio” in your podcast app of choice.

Our custom episode art is by Lucy Fidelis, a long-time contributor here at Erotic Mad Science, showing El Pachuco projecting in front of a 21-st century Los Angeles. You can find out more about Lucy by visiting her website.

INT. OSVALDO’S – NIGHT


Osvaldo’s is a slightly more louche version of an American chain restaurant, the sort of place where twenty- and thirty-somethings congregate after work to drink and hook up.


There are televisions over the bar, at least one of which is tuned to a cable news channel.


Joe, dressed much like the rest of the clientele, sits at the bar nursing a beer.


Toozie, dressed as if she is out on a date, carrying a small purse, sidles onto the barstool next to Joe. She places her purse on the bar.


TOOZIE


Hello, Joe.


JOE


Toozie.


The BARTENDER approaches.


BARTENDER


Anything for the lady?


TOOZIE


Glass of white wine, please.


BARTENDER


You two want anything to eat?


JOE


(to Toozie)


The boneless wings here are pretty good.


TOOZIE


Okay.


JOE


(to Bartender)


Double order of boneless wings, extra hot-sauce on the side.


The Bartender nods, then shuffles away to get Toozie’s drink and put in the order.

INT. SLEEPLESS JOE’S COFFEE SHOP – DAY


Joe across the counter from Toozie.


JOE


Large coffee with two extra shots, please.


TOOZIE


Certainly, Dr. Tucker. That will be seven-fifty.


Joe hands a folded ten-dollar bill to Toozie. Inside the fold is a business card. Toozie puts the ten in the till then reads the card.


INSERT CARD, WHICH READS:


“Osvaldo’s 7:30 this evening?”


BACK TO SCENE


Toozie writes something on the cup and on its bottom, then hands it to the preparing barista.


TOOZIE


Your coffee will be right up, Dr. Tucker.
