When does Hulktober come to a close so we can at long last talk about 1993's The Meteor Man? Now. NOW!The guys take on Robert Townsend's ambitious but failed magnum opus of inner city vigilantism. Is blowing coke all over some drug dealers enough of a punishment for their crimes? Do all street gangs really just move around as one block of 40 plus guys and a pet tiger? Is the neighbourhood really that better off now that the Bloods and Crips have a small arsenal of machine guns?Now all I want to do is see a fight between the Baby Lords and some Baby Lordes. They could just go down to the Tennis Court or whatever kids do nowadays. Whoever wins, you have to admit the results would be funky.
