Summary: Thank you for listening to episode 34 of the Highly Relevant podcast. On this week’s episode, I have an in-depth discussion on 'Wonder Woman' with the editor-in-chief of RottenTomatoes - Matt Atchity. We also discuss the future of movie critics and what RottenTomatoes.com is doing about the lack of Spanish movie reviews on the site. Hispanic actress Alexa PeñaVega, you know her from the very successful Spy Kids franchise films from Robert Rodriguez, this time around she’s starring in a new TV movie on the Hallmark channel called Destination Wedding and we talked about everything from why she got sick of the LA scene and moved to Hawaii, the ambiguity of non-ethnic looking Latina actresses, and her opinions on today’s use of social media and her place in it. And we finish by chatting with October Gonzalez, the co-host DJ of FOX’s new game show “BEAT SHAZAM” hosted by Jamie Foxx. She tells me how she landed her new gig, her first encounter with Jamie Foxx and if she could take on SHAZAM and win.
