    While lauded as a "must-see" film, the trio sit down to evaluate the true representation of Las Vegas, former home to our very own Jessica, accuracy surrounding the gambling and offering our fresh takes on the film.

    In early-1970s Las Vegas, low-level mobster Sam "Ace" Rothstein gets tapped by his bosses to head the Tangiers Casino. At first, he's a great success in the job, but over the years, problems with his loose-cannon enforcer Nicky Santoro, his ex-hustler wife Ginger, her con-artist ex Lester Diamond and a handful of corrupt politicians put Sam in ever-increasing danger.

    Released: 1995
    Director: Marin Scorsese
    Writers: Nicholas Pileggi
