Ana and Mark love today's episode and its rhyming title: Trust, Lust, and Must. They express their concern for the Bandaged Woman and her too-long healing journey, meet the iconic Debi Mazar, and learn Ignacio's heart-wrenching immigration story. Finally, they reunite with their on-screen dad Tony Plana (with more to come next week!).

Ugly Betty was more than just a show - it was a revolution. Bold, heartfelt, and unapologetically real, it gave us characters that shattered stereotypes and told stories that mattered, putting a working-class Latino family, the immigrant experience, and LGBTQ+ stories front and center. 

Now, Ana Ortiz and Mark Indelicato—aka Hilda and Justin—are sitting down to rewatch the show that changed their lives and ours. With fresh eyes and zero filter, they’re revisiting every messy moment, iconic outfit, and groundbreaking storyline, one episode at a time.

This isn’t just a nostalgia trip. It’s a love letter to the show that made being different feel like a superpower. Pull up a chair, there’s room at the table for you!

As a special Christmas gift to our listeners, La Familia Suarez is back together again for Mark and Ana’s extended interview with Tony Plana. He talks about growing up in the shadows of the major studios in Hollywood, fighting for the part of Ignacio, and all of the delicious (and very real) food that came out of the Suarez kitchen.

The conversation continues with our dear friend Christopher Gorham, also known as Henry Grubstick and Betty's true love. He tells us how Henry got his glasses, America Ferrera's blunt feedback on set, and the storyline he wishes he could change.
