I have no problem with them not showing the movie. If you want to see it, it's out there, it's on netflix. Most people who'd be interested in the show have already seen it anyway.
Usually a series has to throw out/retcon part of the movie that spawned it, so it's often a little more seamless if you don't air the movie right before launching the series.
Kickass movie though. Not everyone is into parody of blacksploitation, but hey, it's funny.
Ninjas, gladiator midgets and Orson Welles- it's a Godrey Ho-mage, only at NinjaTheMissionForce.com.
