Today, we’re celebrating a piece of television history. It’s been 25 years since Resurrection Blvd. first hit the airwaves—a groundbreaking series that redefined Latino representation in Hollywood. And now, that legacy is being honored in a big way.
On October 19th, 2025, the Fox Tucson Theatre—the crown jewel of downtown Tucson—will host A Day with Resurrection Blvd: The 25th Anniversary Celebration. Presented by Elephant Scout Films, this one-of-a-kind event brings together cast, crew, and fans for an unforgettable reunion. There’ll be a special screening of the pilot, behind-the-scenes insights, and a live panel moderated by Dan Guerrero, featuring an incredible lineup: Dennis Leoni, Tony Plana, Esai Morales, and Nicholas Gonzalez. Today's guests were involved both in front of and behind the camera on Ressurection Blvd—first up, actor/director Lou Diamond Phillips, then show creator Dennis Leoni.
Lou joins me to talk about his time on Resurrection Blvd., its cultural impact, and what this reunion means to him. We also chat about storytelling, legacy, and the power of authentic representation on screen.
Whether you grew up with the Santiago family or you’re just discovering the series for the first time, this episode is a celebration of community, creativity, and resilience.
