Just a few weeks after STAR WARS first came out, a new superhero premiered on television, and his named wasn't IRON MAN, but everyone thought it was! From the director of SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN came EXO-MAN, the story of a physics professor who testifies against the mob, gets attacked and paralyzed, and uses his scientific knowhow to build a terrible-looking supersuit and seek vigilante justice.

EXO-MAN might not be as good as IRON MAN, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take a look at one of the most misunderstood failed pilots in TV history and see if there's a MALFUNTION involved (a.k.a. the distinct lack of fun).
