If you would have invented YNFYF, you would have invented YNFYF. But you didn’t. Thankfully we did, and if you can handle the truth of the witty quips and constant repetition we’re bringing this ep, then you’ll discover the truth of Aaron Sorkins debut, Mollys Game (2017). We’re no stranger to writer turned directors, but this particular case was unique given Sorkin is such a strong writer. Crafting his unique dialogue in films such as Steve Jobs, Moneyball, The Social Network - also that little mini series the West Wing - no matter who he works with, his voice finds its way to dominate the films he writes. Mollys Game follows the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target. Sounds pretty Sorkin-ey. Drenched in so much legal speak we needed Louis on top form to dissect what the f**k was being talked about half the time. Enjoy.
