On this week's show, fateful duffle bags turn desperate people into unstable people. It's all based on the release of Netflix's new film WIN IT ALL, which stars Jake Johnson as a gambling addict with one job to do — don't open that bag an old acquaintance left at his apartment. After reviewing Joe Swanberg's WIN IT ALL, we transition to A SIMPLE PLAN (1998) at 21:40, in which Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton try not to freak out about finding $4 million or about how much their movie resembles FARGO. At the 35 minutes, we wrap up with MONEY FOR NOTHING (1993) and discuss how the movie's star-studded cast can't make up for its rickety tone. Just think of what we could do with a podcast about this much money! Our lives are changed forever!
