On the 426th episode of Piecing It Together, Robert Kachelriess joins me to talk about The Last Showgirl. Both of us being Las Vegas based gave us plenty to talk about with Pamela Anderson's much hyped Vegas showgirl story. Puzzle pieces include Casino, Leaving Las Vegas, The Wrestler and Nyad.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for The Last Showgirl and the movies we discuss!
