"It’s the absolute right thing by the definition of right."

Street Kings review (right click OR just listen)
When I was a kid there was a show on too late for me to watch. It was called The Equalizer. What I liked about this show was that it had this unassuming badass of a guy named Robert McCall who helped people with their problems. Anywho one night I stayed up past my bedtime and caught what was part 2 of an awesome 2 parter (always the way with me (the first episode of Cowboy Bebop I ever saw was Jupiter Jazz part 2)). In this episode Richard Jordon (the guy in The Hunt For Red October that’s trying to steal baby’s lollypops) and Southern Control, played in a guest spot by none other than Robert Mitchum, were trying to rescue the sedated McCall from the Ruskies (man Putin and his Cold War II is gonna be a trip). It was one of the most awesome episodes of The Equalizer ever and it didn’t even really have him in it.

Street Kings stars: Neo, Ghost Dog, Bob Sugar, Chris from Kbhr in the mornin’, Human Torch, Wooster, the president from Idocracy, and 2 rappers with stupid names.
