What's up, Underdogs!? Light up a thick cigar, pour a tall glass of scotch, queue up Frank Sinatra on the record player, spread a felt green cloth on that old dingy table in your den, and pull out a lucky charm because we're back with a new sport-adjacent series: Poker Movies. We have the perfect guest to introduce us to this rich world of cinematic gambling: Matt Belenky. As a film producer/writer/aficionado, former competitive poker player, and Pittsburgh native, Matt shoots this shit with us for almost two hours. We lay the ground rules and assess all the probabilities in this one: Covering everything from House of Games to The Cincinnati Kid to Mississippi Grind to Vegas Vacation. And to top it off, we finish the episode with a deep dive into the seminal poker film of our generation: the 1998 cult classic, Rounders. Enjoy!
