Episode description
Joe and Jacques (and shockingly, more Joe then Jacques) talk the new movie based on the infamous 1984 episode of Press Your Luck where an Ice Cream truck driver from Ohio won over 100k in one day.
Was he cheating? Was it an inside job? Was it dumb luck? Is this guy who he says he is?
We had fun talking what the movie got right and what (admittedly) they took “artistic licensing with”.
40 years in the making and the movie and stars Paul Walter Hauser and Walton Goggins do not disappoint.
