29 - Molly's Game

Published: Jan. 2, 2018, 1:31 p.m.

Eavesdropping celebrates the New Year with a snappy, sharp crime flick about the world of underground, high-stakes poker. We discuss the material's weakness, our different takes on Molly's character, the film's descent into schmaltz, daddy issues, Sorkin's directorial mediocrity, the audience's response to his dialogue, and the way Star Wars is dominating every bloody screen in every bloody cinema. At the end Jos\xe9 makes Mike choke on his own laughter.\n\nRecorded on 1st January 2018.
