Los Espuchis is a very odd, very good HBO comedy series about a group of horror-loving

friends who start up a business that provides scary experiences for their clients.

It's got a dead pantone and a number of standout performances.

The show is set in an unnamed Latin American country and is largely in Spanish with English

subtitles.

Los Espuchis is co-written by two of its stars, comedians Julio Torres and Anna Fabrega.

The second season is airing on HBO right now, so we thought it'd be a good time to revisit

our conversation about the first season.

I'm Stephen Thompson.

And I'm Glenn Weldon and on this encore episode of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour, we're

talking about Los Espuchis.

Here with me and Stephen in the studio is Felix Contreras, host of NPR's Alt Latino podcast.

Welcome back, Felix.

Thank you, thanks for having me guys.

And joining us from NPR West is the great Cherine Marisol Maraji co-host of our younger,

hippers sibling podcast, Code Switch, hey Cherine.

Hey, I'm so happy to be back.

It's been too long.

It has been, it has been.

Felix, I'm going to start with you.

Where did you come down on the lo-fi seriality of Los Espuchis?

Loved it.
