It's March and we're back on track! Las Pochas are talking about the premise of the new movie, The American Society of Magical Negroes, and when country music gets upset over a song. In Que Hay de Nuevo, it's about the Oscars and not who's winning, but who's losing. Plus.... a throwback that's a surprise for Charlene and a new find for younger generations.

Las Pochas owe the fans big time. Why? Because they skipped an episodio. And this means a longer wiri wiri with more topics and more laughter. This month it's about the power of lenguaje and the power of Selena fans taking zero tomfoolery from Yolanda.
