BSP Episode 077: Count of Monte Cristo

Yeah, so we talked about the Count of Monte Cristo. We probably talked almost as much about Man in the Iron Mask.

This episode also features a Booster Seat Producer review of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Don’t forget to join us on Wednesday nights at about 9:00 PM Central on Ustream.tv (Follow BetterintheBack or TonyMast on Twitter to be updated when we go live.)

Sorry this one is late, It’s all my fault. If we crank things up we could see 2 or three more episodes drop by the end of the week.
