Sorry for the long break. March was madness but we are back with a new episode, and it's a great one. Streets of Fire, the 1984 Michael Paré taking the leading man role. Willem Dafoe doing his best Green Goblin before Spider-Man was even on the Marvel map. Diane Lane being Diane Lane. Academy Award winner Amy Madigan being epic. Rick Moranis as you've never seen him before. It's a round robin of action, drama, rockabilly biker fun. Latex bib overalls. Sledgehammer duals. Seriously, what more could anyone want?
