Episode description
Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Director Polaris Castillo and Producer Dan Marcus about their film El Luchador, which was chosen to be screened at the 2022 San Diago Comic Con. The film follows a professional wrestler who goes into seclusion after his undefeated streak comes to an end.
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, we chat about representation, how fiction is inherently cultural, and how the pro wrestling icon The Undertaker inspired this film to be made.
I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did
