About this listen

It’s a miniseries premiere! All the coolest conmen in movie history are pulling a job on Andy Garcia and we’re just happy to be here. Welcome to the Ocean’s trilogy! This week it’s the flawless 2001 Vegas heist that cemented Clooney, Pitt, Damon, and their buddies as the modern day Rat Pack. Sorry, Sinatra! Discussed on this episode: Brad Pitt’s constant eating, the weird alternate cast that almost was, infamous Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub, how gambling infiltrated 2000s suburban culture, Clooney being a silly prankster, and so much more! Next week, it’s double or nothing with OCEAN’S TWELVE (2004).
