Carlos @ The Movies

Welcome to Carlos’ Thoughts Podcast!

My horror movie marathon continues with Insidious (2010)! This supernatural thriller had me questioning every shadow in my room. From eerie jump scares to that nightmare-inducing “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” scene, Insidious knows how to get under your skin.

In this episode, I’ll break down the plot, share my unfiltered reactions, and highlight the moments that genuinely creeped me out. Plus, I’ll ...

Welcome to Carlos’ Thoughts Podcast! This month, I’m challenging myself by watching horror movies for the first time. starting with The Exorcist (1973).

In this episode, I give a quick plot rundown and share my honest reactions, the moments that shocked me, scared me, and even made me laugh. Plus, I’ll go over a few eerie behind-the-scenes facts, like the rumored set curse and the unexpected mishap in the infamous vomit scene.

In this episode, I start off trying to figure out which animated movie characters would actually survive a horror film, because let’s be honest, most of them wouldn’t make it past the opening scene. Then, I get into my childhood fear that swallowing a watermelon seed would turn me into the Hulk (and a small part of me still kinda believes it). Finally, I wrap things up with a wild story about driving on the 110 freeway, where thing...

In this episode of Carlos’ Thoughts podcast, I start off talking about eggs, because seriously, why are they in everything? That somehow leads me to Humpty Dumpty, I dive into sleep patterns, and Paddington in Peru, and somehow end up talking about SNL. I wrap it all up by sharing why I think everyone should try to have more friends. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster, but that’s just how it goes around here. Tune in and see where the c...

In this episode of Carlos’ Thoughts podcast, I start off talking about the John Deere company and how, for absolutely no reason at all, their merch is actually kind of cool. From there, I get into my biggest goal in life, being a dad, before somehow transitioning into why 7/11 (the store) and the date 7/11 should be a national holiday. And to wrap things up, I confess that I used to believe giraffes were fictional creatures… and ho...

In this episode of Carlos’ Thoughts podcast, I start off by diving into the idea of death, how I’m scared of dying, but also… not really? From there, things take a turn into brain stuff, like whether an MRI scan can tell if you’re racist and if some people are just hardwired to be addicts. And somehow, I end up talking about that one time I swallowed a penny. It’s a bit all over the place, but that’s just how it goes around here. T...

In this episode of Carlos’ Thoughts Podcast, I kick things off by celebrating Black History Month and reminiscing about my first African American friend, Devan aka the Black Moses. From there, I dive into my favorite artist, J. Cole, and somehow end up talking about Magic Johnson, Kendrick Lamar, and SZA. Speaking of SZA, I also get into her new movie with Keke Palmer, One of Them Days. As always, it’s a bit of a wild ride, but tha...

In this episode of Carlos’ Thoughts podcast, I start off talking about how weird swimming is and how I never actually learned how to do it. Then, things take an unexpected turn as I pitch a musical biopic about Michael Phelps, complete with a dream cast and a list of original song titles. Just when you think it can’t get any weirder, I wrap things up by pitching another musical biopic, this time about Magic Johnson, called Irvin, C...
