Nana Ponceleon Talks Clika, A New Film Now Out!

from The Roundtable with Robert Bannon · host Broadway Podcast Network

Nana Ponceleon stops by The Roundtable to talk about her powerful role in Clika, a film centered on music, identity, and the pull between ambition and family. Nana plays Mari, the devoted mother at the heart of the story, grounding the film with warmth, resilience, and hard-earned wisdom. We dive into how Clika reflects real cultural experiences, the rise of corridos tumbados, and why this story feels especially timely right now. In our conversation, Nana opens up about portraying motherhood on screen, the emotional weight of telling stories rooted in community, and what it means to represent strength without perfection. We also talk about her journey as an actress, trusting your instincts, and why there truly are no shortcuts when it comes to dreams — on screen or in real life. 🎧 The Roundtable with Robert Bannon is available daily on BroadwayWorld, YouTube, iHeartRadio, Spotify, and everywhere you listen. 🌐 RobertBannon.com 📸 Instagram: @RobertBannon The best is yet to come. #NanaPonceleon #Clika #TheRoundtable #FilmTalk #LatinxStories #RepresentationMatters #ActorsLife #FilmInterview #MusicAndCulture #DreamChasers #HollywoodVoices #DailyConversations Learn more about your ad choices.
