Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay are all-in on telling wild stories as they talk about a movie that set off a poker boom, 'Rounders.' Bombay is the first one in the pot, as he recalls how going on an epic poker run helped get him out of serious money troubles in his youth. 

Then the boys discuss the classic sports movie disguised as a gambling movie. Featuring a memorable villain portrayed by John Malkovich, who decided to make some of the most gonzo acting choices imaginable, and we love him for it. Along with a rising Matt Damon, the film also stars Edward Norton as Worm, the type of friend you can't leave alone for more than two minutes. That character reminds Andy of when he picked up a buddy from jail, and the lessons he learned. On top of the top tier acting, John Dahl also showed off his noir-sensibilities behind the camera, as the movie is not only filled with specific poker detail, but also flourishes of late '90s New York. It not only taught a generation how to play Texas Hold 'Em, but also taught that in the game of life, women are the rake.
