Spritle, Speed's younger brother, relates the tell-all confessional piece as a disgruntled grown-up whose now sour that his career floundered after his celebrity status on the show. It was cited by Wizard Magazine as one of the top 10 best sessions at Comic Con 1994. The show was written by John Schulte and John Besmehn, produced, directed and moderated by Cheryl Ann Wong.
