Casino (1995) | Ep. 13 - Part 1
This might be the most relentless film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and that's a high bar. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of his three-hour anatomy of how the mob lost Las Vegas.
In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Martin Scorsese, the cast, and the second act — including De Niro running the Tangiers, Sharon Stone's career-best Ginger, and Joe Pesci somehow finding a character more frightening than Tommy DeVito.
The desert's not done with anyone yet. The fall comes in Part 2, out now, along with the crew, the reception, and the legacy.
