The Full Pilot Episode for #Mextasy, the TV Show that Grew out of Tex[t]-Mex is now LIVE!!!

A few years back I was going to host a television show. We got pretty far along in the process, pitching to Lionsgate here, to PBS there, to National Geographic here, to Netflix there, but in the end it was "close but no cigar." That's showbiz! The pilot episode, however, embargoed for years owing to internecine squabbles, is now free and out in the clear and me and my fellow executive producers of the show, Miguel-Angel Soria, Carlos Solorio, and Bola Juarez are proud to share it with you. Let it serve as a monument to all the great production folks in Mexico City, Tijuana, San Diego, and Los Angeles that made this show possible! Omicron or not, if you would like to have me out to your campus, museum, school, gallery, or whatnot for a screening and a Q&A, just reach out to me at memo@sdsu.edu. Happy New Year y viva #mextasy!

Jim Brown, Raquel Welch (Jo Raquel Tejada), and the History of Interracial Love in American Cinema -- a #textmex #mextasy repost!

Originally published: Feb 25, 2009 | Updated August 4, 2021

Almost on a daily basis, I am made aware of the number of research lapses that took place as I brought Tex[t]-Mex to print! 

My biggest mistake? Not devoting a chapter to 100 Rifles starring Jim Brown, Raquel Tejada (aka SDSU's biggest alumnus {who did not graduate}, aka Raquel Welch), and Burt Reynolds (as "Yaqui Joe, an Indian who robs a bank in order to buy guns for his people who are being savagely repressed by the government.")!

Surprisingly, in 1969, even Roger Ebert couldn't break into a sweat over this opus, directed by Tom Gries. I will try to include a significant chapter on this magnum opus in Eyegiene, currently in preparation for the University of Texas Press. In the meantime, students of stereotypes and feminist studies mavens, might enjoy this clip off of the Daily Motion, culled/edited/recut from the film.

click the image above to be transported to the Daily Motion site

Raquel Welch -100 Rifles (Shower Scene)

Here's the full trailer:

 

 And, most importantly for students of Ethnic American studies, the heralded "interracial" 

love scene between Welch and Jim Brown--note how YouTube entices you by making you 

leave this site to see the erotic fireworks!
