This is a Latino Rebels first.

Yesterday we interviewed Smiley and Chuy, the two puppet leads from “Hey Vato,” an edgy web comedy series that our friends at Pocho.com shared with us last year. The show has a dedicated cult following, and its creators are now trying to raise funds for a 15-minute short film. We have gotten to know the creative guys behind the show —Robert Vasquez (co-creator, voice of Chuy), Juan Rodriguez (co-creator, director), Marc Rivera (co-creator, voice of Smiley)— and they are REALLY SUPER NICE and HUMBLE. We also always thought that their show was unique. And after making a contribution to their IndieGogo campaign, we asked to interview Smiley and Chuy.

The show has a Facebook page, and you can catch all the episodes on YouTube.

And here’s the show’s theme song, “Pan Dulce” by Gagdet Car.
