Episode #9 - Aired Monday, November 28, 2016.
Comedians Facu Díaz and Miguel Maldonado are interviewed by Pablo Iglesias in a very unorthodox episode of Otra Vuelta de Tuerka: two guests, two armchairs, a questionnaire in which literary and film recommendations give way to opinions on the most controversial political figures (yes, Hugo Chávez and Joseph Stalin make an appearance), and a much more relaxed tone than the interview program usually offers.
Have you always wanted to know about Miguel's childhood in Murcia? What was Facu Díaz like with a Uruguayan accent? Did you know what hobby these two comedians share? What poster does Maldonado have in his bathroom? How did Facu Díaz manage to get a TV station to talk to him one night at 4 a.m.? Is there a scientific explanation for Miguel's famous Caribbean dances? Why does he often end up with a Fanta when he goes for a Coke? How did they become famous? What role does Miguel's grandmother play in all of this? We know it's difficult to live with so many questions, which is why this Monday Pablo Iglesias will interview Facu Díaz and Miguel Maldonado on Otra Vuelta de Tuerka (Another Turn of the Screw).
In addition to their childhood and adolescence—a key segment in every episode of Otra Vuelta de Tuerka, and this one as well—they'll review their journey from their beginnings at Tuerka: Facu as a reporter and Miguel as a substitute director. "It was my grandmother who discovered me," Miguel admits: "Miguelito, just act clueless, like it has nothing to do with you, and walk in front of the camera. Because with how handsome and charming you are, they're sure to pick you," she'd tell me.
They'll talk about the beginnings of Tuerka News, "which not even our own colleagues believed in." From its launch with glorious sketches like "Citizen and Communist," which parodied the relationship between a Podemos activist and a communist activist: "We know what an angry leftist activist is like, and we get a lot of mileage out of that. Sometimes we aim to annoy them. And sometimes we succeed," Facu points out. This has led to the current stage with the late-night show "Don't Get Involved in Politics" (NTMEP), which currently fills the Teatro del Barrio every Thursday and is also broadcast on Público TV.
