Poker is great. Movies are great. But only one film captures Texas Hold Em's mass appeal: the period piece "Rounders" (1998). In this episode, Tony, Ben, and Eric Vallee discuss poker's allure on the American imagination; what "Rounders" gets right and wrong about the game; tips on what poker's really about; why "Rounders" is also brilliant in depicting the dark sides of gambling; John Malkovich's performance; reasons the film has aged poorly; and more.
