Description

E-O 11!!!! For this episode we head back in time to 1960, to a Technicolor Las Vegas where we catch up with the Rat Pack who are trying to pull off an amazing (and yes, far-fetched) casino heist. We tag along with Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra), Sam Harmon (Dean Martin), Josh Howard (Sammy Davis Jr), and the other 11 former members of the 82nd airborne doing crimes (and rocking charming yet casual misogyny & racism) while the Joker (Caesar Romero) tries to figure out their scheme. Let’s get to it as we:

• Learn what “The Big Casino” is, and why you probably don’t want to vacation there
• Conduct the first ever CFX seance, and bring back a very “presidential” guest who was a behind-the-scenes playa during parts of the filming of this epic adventure
• Explore why modern seat belts are a good idea, and how the Butthole Surfers got the name of one of their iconic albums
• Learn what a "Harv", a "Clyde", and a "Chester" are, not to mention what's wrong with a little “hey hey”
• Why Normal Fell was the real star of this movie (ok, maybe he wasn’t, but SHOULD have been)
• See how Frank’s orange mohair sweater wasn’t even the most interesting thing about him…
• Hear Slip’s amazing Dean Martin impression, and learn why Dean has Jeff’s eternal esteem and admiration.
• Count how many times we can hear the same song from a fake drunk, while not hearing a single note from the one of the most celebrated singers of the 20th century
