Monster 13: Prison Break Tenma

Lucky Number 13!! Matt and Quinn had to record this episode twice, because the original recording was annihilated, and hoo-boy; what an episode to have to redo, because this reading was not very good! We spend some time trying to figure out what makes this chunk feel over-stuffed and rushed; simultaneously spreading the stuff we like too thick and too thin. After that, we work our way through Tenma's time in prison as he deals with with a master escapee, a wunderkind lawyer, and the return of a trusted friend! This one ends with two absolute goobers and a hell of a bang, and maybe just for that, I can return to our constant refrain - folks, it's a good one!
