What are some of the most entertaining betting and casino movies you've never seen? Today's returning guest is Hollywood talent manager Michael Lasker, who joins hosts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter for a terrific conversation covering sports betting, the rise of the mid-budget Hollywood movie, the concept of "director jail,” and more. Together the trio provide recommendations like ‘Diggstown’ and ‘Mississippi Grind,’ two films very few gamblers are familiar with today. Later, we hear about the rise of the A24 studio and any early Academy Award contenders. #Volume
