Casino

For the final installment of our Summer of Sam series, Dave, Eric, and Brandon dive into Martin Scorsese’s Casino. While the casting choices might feel like the “safe bet” for this director, the acting across the board is still phenomenal and had us hooked. We talk about the film’s hefty runtime, its lackluster ending, and how its ultimate message is one of self-destruction—everyone in this story creates their own downfall. We also reflect on how Vegas itself has changed, no longer resembling the gritty, glamorous world Scorsese captured on screen. Despite its flaws, Casino is a movie everyone should see, and we had a blast breaking it all down.

Stick around until the end for a round of Movie 20 Questions!

Eyyyyyy, watch your self out there, nomads!
