In this episode of Somos Hollywood , we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Robert Rodriguez’s action classic Desperado. The San Antonio–born filmmaker reflects on why the film felt like his “first real movie,” how he leveled up from El Mariachi with a bigger budget, and the DIY spirit he kept behind the camera. We also preview the special anniversary screening at the Aztec Theatre featuring Danny Trejo and a live performance by Rodriguez’s band, Chingon. It’s a look back at the film that helped define a generation of Latino action cinema.
