#373 | Desperado (1995)

Let us tell you a tale of a man who you wouldn’t believe. “It was as if he was always walking in a shadow. I mean every step he took towards the light, just when you thought his face was about to be revealed, it wasn't. It was as if the lights dimmed, just for him.” We’re talking about the early works of Robert Rodriguez in 1995’s Desperado. Brently Heilbron (https://bit.ly/vmini11) joins us to talk about the El Mariachi sequel, trivia, the mental health of bitterness and so much more.
