Writer Producer and host Joshua Hale Fialkov is joined by producer, writer, and publisher FJ DeSanto (Transformers: The War for Cybertron) to discuss his lifelong love of Professional Wrestling, his career as a producer that has spanned global franchises including Batman, Tekken, countless Anime, Kung Fu films, and documentaries, and how his upbringing in New York exposed him to both regional AND international wrestling and pop culture at an early age.
