Jack and Mike interview David Castañeda, (Diego Hargreeves a.k.a. Number 2) from Netflix's 'Umbrella Academy'. They discuss his initial reluctance at being labeled a 'Latino superhero' and eventually realizing the positive contribution inhabiting that label can have. We also discuss the Batgirl cancellations and what it means for Latino actors and the work of creators of color. They also discuss comic cons, Latino whitewashing, and a potential Umbrella Academy season 4 renewal.
The guys also have a heated debate about the James Franco, Fidel Castro casting debacle. They ask: should actors have the right to play any kind of ethnic role?
