Popular radio host Humberto Luna and film critic Jorge Elias will soon be playing Spanish-speaking Siskels and Eberts when “Hablemos de Cine” (“Let’s Talk Movies”) debuts Sunday on Univision. Network officials announced Wednesday that the half-hour show (to air locally at 5 p.m. on KMEX Channel 34) focuses on Hollywood and Latin American films by pitting the analytical, straight man Elias against the comedic Luna, KTNQ-AM’s ribald morning host. Said Univision’s vice president of programming Rosita Peru, “The pairing of Elias and Luna makes the program unique in every sense of the word. They’re both witty, humorous and charismatic, yet their personalities are totally different.”
