The Original Quiet Storm is on fire tonight… Even actor Rob Morgan called in to chat with Angela Stribling and chime in on the topic: “What Do Men Really Want?”

Rob gave plenty of reasons to check out his new movie “Just Mercy” as it opens this weekend. Here’s the storyline: After graduating from Harvard, Bryan Stevenson heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or those not afforded proper representation. One of his first cases is that of Walter McMillian, who is sentenced to die in 1987 for the murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite evidence proving his innocence. In the years that follow, Stevenson encounters racism and legal and political maneuverings as he tirelessly fights for McMillian’s life.
