The Case of Alexis, Cristina & Mirna Palomo Lima Cruz in Chalchuapa
It seems that El Salvador makes headlines in the US only when it pertains to violence or immigration and lately, a combination of both? Last time the country made major news was May 2021, and the news? The discovery of a mass grave and an ex-cop serial killer in Chalchuapa, a quiet town in the Santa Ana department, not very far from Guatemala. Cristina tells Carmen about Jaqueline Cristina Palomo Lima Cruz, who's death led to the discovery of this mass grave. Just a correction from the episode, Cristina said state of exception, but that was put in place in 2022, the plan territorial control was a sort of predecessor that was still a very hard on crime stance used before the state of exception, but even before then there were a couple of similar laws. When Cristina said state of exception in this episode prior to 2022, it should have been the plan control territorial.

A young queer man finds love at a magical clothing shop—and the courage to stand up to the homophobic cops. A witch who makes custom nightmares wonders why all her victims are connected to the Black Panthers—and who she's really working for. A soon-to-be father encounters a mysterious hitchhiker who tries pulling him back to the days of his violent past. A brand-new vampire, freshly hired at the blood bank, delights in her heightened sexual desire and superhuman strength.

Silver Nitrate Book Club Episode
Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia blends together Mexican horror movies and dark occultism. We follow Montserrat, who has always been overlooked. She's a talented sound editor, but she's left out of the boys' club running the film industry in '90s Mexico City. And she's all but invisible to her best friend Tristán, a charming if faded soap opera star, even though she's been in love with him since childhood. Then Tristán discovers his new neighbor is the cult horror director Abel Urueta, and he has a way to change their lives - even if his tales of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like sheer fantasy. The magic film was never finished, which is why, Urueta swears, his career vanished overnight. He is cursed. Now the director wants Montserrat and Tristán to help him shoot the missing scene and lift the curse . . . but Montserrat soon notices a dark presence following her. MJ talks about the occult history that is mentioned in the book, Carmen recaps the book and then they all go through diiscussion questions.

Murdered in the Military
In 2019, a DOD report stated that sexual assault reports in the military are on the rise, every year, it's higher than the last. That could be due the number of reports just rising because more people are coming forward, but it is a fact that sexual assault happens at high numbers in the Military. A different report from 2010 stated that 120 female military service members stationed in Iraq died there. 60 of those 120 deaths were reported to be non-combat related. Of those half, non-combat deaths, 30 were ruled suicides, but there was evidence to suggest many of them may have actually been murders. Many families reported that the army had given them conflicting information, failed to give any information or asked families to remain silent about their daughters death. On today's episode, Cristina tells guest co-host Carmen about the death of LaVena Lynn Johnson, Kamisha Block, Amanda Gonzalez, Vanessa Guillen and the recent death of Ana Basaldua Ruiz in Fort Hood.

Before the Spanish, it had different medicinal uses and one 16th century legend would forever associate it with Christmas. We (Cristina & MJ) also share Christmas traditions we grew up with, different Christmas traditions around Latin America, we talk about El Dia de los Reyes Magos, some St Nicholas history and we end the episode with an Espooky Christmas story (around minute 34:00 if you want to skip all the Christmas stuff and go straight to the espooky stuff).
