Episode 114- The Sting (1973)

Reel Feels Podcast

Following the murder of a mutual friend, aspiring con man Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) teams up with old pro Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) to take revenge on the ruthless crime boss responsible, Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). Hooker and Gondorff set about implementing an elaborate scheme, one so crafty that Lonnegan won't even know he's been swindled. As their big con unfolds, however, things don't go according to plan, requiring some last-minute improvisation by the undaunted duo.

Host Jack has hit a big time score with this 7 Academy Award winning film! It's our "Con Artist" genre with 1973's "The Sting" for Episode 114. The boys discuss the fabulous costuming, set design and the overall delicate balance that the cast brings to this film. It's a first time watch for Host Drew, but Nathan and Jack wont hold that against him. From the subtle comedy to the impact that this film paved way for future heist and con-artist movies, "The Sting" is one that still stands the test of time. Ya follow?
