The House of Machismo Podcast


Dec 8, 2025

On today’s episode, the guys welcome back a familiar face — former co-host and Texas independent filmmaker Carlos Suarez! He’s in the studio to talk about his brand-new short film, Naked Pool Party, and the creative journey behind bringing its LGBTQ+ story to life.

Before diving into filmmaking, the crew gets festive… kind of. Everyone shares the worst Christmas gifts they’ve ever received — from confusing, questionable, and straight-up “why did you think of me when you bought this?” presents. It gets real, it gets funny, and it gets a little tragic.

In the second half, it’s all about Carlos and his movie. The guys ask what sparked the idea, what challenges he faced during filming, how he pulled off certain scenes, and what his hopes are for the film’s future. Behind-the-scenes stories, indie filmmaking hustle, and plenty of HOM-style chaos all included.

Another episode full of laughs, honesty, creativity, and maybe a little holiday trauma.
