Movie Review: The Count of Monte Cristo
Hey Counties! Welcome to the show.
This week we review the 2002 version of film The Count of Monte Cristo.
Warning: this episode is full of spoilers so we recommend you watch the film on Amazon first.
If you're as obsessed as we are with the cast, checkout IMDB.
We'll be back next week with some more VOTE Counter Programming content. But in the meantime, make sure to check back in our episode archive -- may we recommend our interview with Jesse Cerrotti about why Local Elections Count?!
