“Sometimes there’s a film… I won’t say a masterpiece, ‘cause what’s a masterpiece? But sometimes there’s a film. And I’m talkin’ about the “Desperardo" here. Sometimes there’s a film that, well, it’s the film for its time and place. It fits right in there. And that’s the “Desperado”, for the career of Robert Rodriguez, Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Danny Trejo & MORE! And even if the film is already beloved by millions – and the “Desperado” most certainly is. But sometimes there’s a film… sometimes, there’s a film. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But – aw, hell. I’ve done introduced it enough.” - Jesse Blaze Snider, the Coolest Narrator Alive

Comic Book Readers want ONE thing from Film & Television adaptation, a respectful retelling of the story they love, but what happens when the Film & TV jump the rails & begin to tell stories of their own...? And has this been happening for a long time? And Why can't casual fans understand that "Agatha, All Along" was not something any long time readers we're begging Marvel Studios to produce. Neither was "Madame Web", "Echo", "Birds of Prey" & others, but they have yet to learn their lesson. Comic book Writer, Publisher & producer, Jesse Blaze Snider, the Coolest Geek Alive breaks it all down in great detail and levels the playing field for all, on this very special BIRTHDAY EPISODE!
