Ep. 368: Molly's Game (2017)

Producer's Note: Dustin's mic goes wonky at about 15 minutes, which changes his sound, this coupled with additional file issues made the edit rougher than normal. But, I think I got everything worked out.  Are you ready to go all in? We try to understand the cards we've been dealt in the form of Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of Molly's Game. This 2017 drama recounts the true story of Molly Bloom who ran lucrative celebrity poker games on both seaboards. But, as with all good things, it comes to an end—leaving Molly in quite a legal predicament. This week, we're talking all about noted scribe Aaron Sorkin and his first turn as director. We flesh out what makes him tick as a creator while also grappling with Molly as a woman and a character. Pull up a chair and ante up, it's time to play Molly's Game.
