Updated audio, beef is sorry Legends Podcast is cracking open the cinematic vault and bringing you a whole month of cons, capers, and car chases! Whether you're a stoic getaway driver, some ne'er-do-well thieves, a misdirection master, or some fantasy friends, you'll find the big score right here on our podcast. This is Aug-Heist!  Director Louis Leterrier brought a kind of magic to the heist genre with this 2013 breakout hit. Featuring a stacked deck of an ensemble cast, including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mark Ruffalo, Mélanie Laurent, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman, the film tracks four magicians who pull off an impossible heist: robbing a bank in Paris from a stage in Las Vegas. With the FBI on their tails, they must use every trick in the book to finish the tasks set by their mysterious benefactor. The film hypnotized audiences and brought in $350 million off a $75 million budget, earning a sequel in 2016, with a third film on the way. But does it leave our hosts spellbound or does it pull a off dirty trick… We saw Now You See Me! Now hear this!
