Bonjour! In this months episode, Mike and Robert turn their critical eye to the award winning Les Misérables starring Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe. That's right--it's Wolverine vs. Jor-El in this musical set during France's Student Revolution. In TV corner we examine the British ITV production of "The Second Coming" with Ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston.
