Disney is back at it again with another live-action remake, this time with Snow White—and the internet is divided. In this episode of Private Memoirs of a Desperate Man, I break down the controversy surrounding the film, including Rachel Zegler’s casting, changes to the classic story, and the backlash it’s facing. But the bigger question is: why does Hollywood keep race-swapping old stories instead of creating new ones?

We also look at past remakes like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Peter Pan & Wendy—and discuss whether these adaptations are truly pushing for representation or just giving us recycled content with a new coat of paint. More importantly, why aren’t studios investing in original stories featuring people of color, like Encanto, Coco, and Vivo?

Join the conversation—do you think these remakes are a step forward, or should Hollywood start telling fresh, diverse stories from the ground up? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

My wife knows me better than I know myself sometimes, and her recent reality check hit hard. She pointed out that I don’t take on projects anymore—something I used to love. And she was right. That realization sparked a shift in me, leading to a full-blown mission: transforming my garage into JMC Studio 1 while organizing and reclaiming the space.

This episode of Private Memoirs of a Desperate Man dives into why this project means so much, how men thrive when they feel appreciated at home, and why having a supportive partner makes all the difference. Sometimes, all it takes is a little push to rediscover what drives you.

Why Is Everyone So Rude Now?

Lately, it feels like basic manners have gone out the window. No greetings, no patience, just a whole lot of bad attitudes. Is this just how things are now, or did something shift after the pandemic? In this episode, we break down why people seem ruder, less patient, and just plain disconnected.

We’re diving into:
🔹 How the pandemic changed social interactions
🔹 Why customer service (and customers) both got worse
🔹 The impact of stress, social media, and digital communication
🔹 Whether this is just a phase—or the new normal

And most importantly… can we fix it? Let’s talk.
