It's time for your Couch Potato Ninja crew to get TERMINATED... but no, not by our returning special guest, film critic cyborg, ROB HUNTER, but by ANGELS. Though there are in fact several badass women in our film this episde, ANGEL TERMINATORS 2, the hero we are celebrating is the great MOON LEE! Join as as Rob helps us explore why Moon Lee is so freaking awesome, and why her films are underappreciated, which will hopefully inspire you to seek them out- just like he almost inspired Mike to watch this actual movie!
