TV Writer Mike Lam & Volcan Tequila
As Hollywood adapts to shifts multicultural and digital in nature, Mike Lam has a unique view of both as co-creator of the standout Spanish-language Netflix comedy series, Club de Cuervos. About to shoot its fourth season, the show documents the power struggle that ensues when the owner of a fictional Mexican soccer team dies, passing it on to his squabbling son and daughter. On this episode, Mike talks about the serendipitous origins of the show, the unique challenge of translating comedy from English to Spanish (and then back again), and his journey from documentary filmmaking to scripted television. Meanwhile, the panel embraces a shift of its own by taking a wine break to try the blanco and cristalino versions of Moët Hennessy’s new tequila, Volcan.
