No Show this Week

January 03, 2011 23:53

Sorry folks but the holiday season has me spinning and just not the time to record a show this week.  Look for my first show of 2011 to happen next week featuring reviews of the movie Tron : Legacy, DVD review of Insane Abs by fitness guru Billy Blanks and Blu-ray review of A-Team along with some entertainment news thrown in as well.  Thanks for your patience and see you next week.
