Chris Rosen’s Movie picks:
And Chris Rosen’s penance for his “The Hangover” pick from last week is that he needs to do a book report on the first episode (which is really a TV movie) of Battlestar Galactica and give his review to Sam next week. (It’s on Netflix and the new BSG series was really excellent. Worth a try for anyone who hasn’t.)
Guests: Author Jeff Madrick and independent reporter Ryan Gallagher
