House of Games
How is falling for a con game like buying a movie ticket? What happens when we want to be conned? And what role does confidence--in the game and elsewhere--play in our daily lives? Mike and Dan talk about David Mamet's first film House of Games (1987). As always, spoiler alert: if you haven't seen it, watch it first. It's only 90 minutes and we guarantee you'll have a good time watching the film and then listening of this episode, where we connect the poker game here to the famous Nigerian prince emails.
