In honor of the 30th Anniversary of Casino (1995), we’re releasing the retro coverage again for you to enjoy! This might be the last time they let street guys like us handle any podcasts this valuable. We’ve had a good run of Scorsese films this year (Goodfellas, The Irishman, The Wolf of Wall Street) but there’s only so much gas is in the Scorsese tank. We canceled our Raging Bull 40th anniversary podcast because we just couldn’t fit it in. Jim’s pumping the breaks on reviewing any more gangster films in the near future. Are we running out of steam? Getting sloppy? I sure hope not because that’s when you make mistakes. That’s when you get whacked. Join us for a little over an hour of discussion of Scorsese’s 1995 classic Las Vegas gangster film, Casino.
A.Ron and guest theorist-in-chief Pete Peppers dive into Pluribus Episode Three, “Grenade”, breaking down the rules of the hive mind and what Vince Gilligan might have planned for the future of the show. They unpack Carol’s chaotic cocktail, her blasé reaction to literal luxury at the edge of the world, and what the show might be hinting about the un-assimilated stragglers. Plenty of theories, plenty of laughs, and zero consensus on whether the hive mind is a good deal or a cosmic red flag.
