What happens when a bunch of WWII vets get together and try to rob a casino? Apparently…a lot of crooning?
This week, we’re expanding on our OCEANS series by going back to where it all began: Las Vegas! In the 1960s!
Oh hey what if someone wrote a whole book about how that single employer is the personification of ultimate sin
So does this mean it’ll be streaming in the IMAX ratio??
It’s the (unfairly maligned) sequel that probably should have been called Rusty’s Twelve, because it’s all about Danny Ocean’s weird, mysterious counterpart who may or may not have fallen in love with a Europol agent. Surely that won't get complicated at all…

Finally, an excuse for Vincent Cassel to breakdance through lasers!

Dir. Steven Soderbergh
Hey… did anyone else notice while watching Ocean's Eleven that Tess looks a LOT like Julia Roberts?
EOTD correction: in our episode, we said Elliot Gould was directed to be the last one at the fountain. We accidentally repeated a mistake Andy Garcia made in an interview, so really it’s his fault.
Fun bts fact: when shooting the famous fountain scene at the end of OCEAN’S ELEVEN, director Steven Soderbergh didn’t tell the actors which order to leave in
His only direction was that Carl Reiner be last at the fountain, and he set up multiple cameras to capture it live
Discussed on this episode: Brad Pitt’s constant eating, the weird alternate cast that almost was, infamous Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub, how gambling infiltrated 2000s suburban culture, Clooney being a silly prankster, and so much more!
