New Now Playing Podcast hosts Brock and Elisha take a seat at the table to review 21, starring Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects). Inspired by a true story, the film follows a group of MIT students who use their elite math skills to beat the odds and clean up at the blackjack tables in Las Vegas. With its mix of gambling strategy, greed, and moral shortcuts, 21 promises slick thrills and smart drama. But does the movie actually play the game well, or does it stack the deck with clichés and Hollywood nonsense? Our hosts dig into the story, the performances, and whether this film is a smart bet or a bust. Listen in and see how the cards fall.
