It's not just the Bach playing over the title credits - 1995's Casino is Baroque as hell! Mother of Blankies Emily Yoshida returns to the podcast this week to talk about Scorsese's Vegas epic, and we're betting big on this being a great episode. Between Joe Pesci's facelift tape, Robert De Niro's enormous sunglasses, and Sharon Stone's go-for-broke performance, we've got much to discuss this week. Is this Scorsese's greatest use of voiceover narration? Should Ben get into running card cheat scams? Can we put an equal amount of blueberries into every single muffin?
