Because it’s really the Green Hornet’s birthday.
Today, January 31, is the day that the “Green Hornet” radio show was first heard on WXYZ Radio in Detroit, way back in 1936. The Gorilla Suit lobby is merely trying to piggyback on this sacred holiday.
So happy 71st, big guy. Here’s hoping that Kevin Smith will have the Green Hornet screenplay done in time for the hundreth anniversary.
