CRONICAS MARCIANAS {MARTIAN CHRONICLES} {SPANISH}
(TV)
Summary
One in this series of bawdy, late night comedy/variety
shows. This show includes a panel that discusses sex,
romance, and celebrities; features by regular cast
members; outlandish characters who disrupt the
proceedings; and striptease and musical performances.
Host Javier Sard‡ and Lola La Bruja, a transvestite
"witch" who reads cards and threatens to put a curse on
anyone who crosses her, open the show. Next, Sard‡ goes
to "Mariano Manson," the overweight "cousin" of shock
rocker Marilyn Manson, who is seated among the audience
members. Then he introduces the night's panel:
sexologist Carmen Berdugo; journalist Marisol Gald—n;
strip artist Chiqui Mart’; singer/composer Ramon
"Ramonc’n"; Venezuelan actress Ivonne Reyes; and
writer/journalist Bego–a Ameztoy. In a pre-recorded
segment, Chiqui Mart’ takes to the streets asking
passersby what they would do if they were attracted to
their friend's boyfriend/girlfriend. Back in the
studio, the panel discusses "love at first sight" and
other matters of romance, before moving on to a game
where they try to identify naked celebrities. Next,
Manel Fuentes joins the group to show some off-color
commercials from around the world. The panel plays
another game where they guess whether various Latin
American slang terms refer to male or female genitalia.
Then, Sard‡ goes to a married woman in the audience who
gives a testimonial about her disappointing experience
at a "swingers" club. One cast member leads a segment
on internet sites which feature nude Kate Moss photos,
and the site of "El Museo Erotico"; another cast member
discusses recent television news, including a bit from
Britain that claims Margaret Thatcher is a sex symbol.
Next, Chiqui Mart’ performs a full strip tease. After
the performance, Sard‡, now without his panel,
welcomes Mart’ Galindo, who reports the celebrity news,
including footage of actress Inma Del Moral and coverage
of the recent spat between singers Tony Genil and
Leonardo Dantes. Next, Fernando Ramos demonstrates in
a "six degrees of separation" fashion that singer Jose
Luis Perales is indeed related to cartoons. Then, guest
CachŽ Juncal sings "QuŽ gitana va." The entire cast,
including the Lola, Mariano Manson, and the Disappointed
Wife, return for a final segment where Sard‡ gives a
closing salute to St. Clare, patron saint of television,
and brings on a hypnotist who only hypnotizes himself.
Commercials deleted.
