It’s “Con Man” Week! Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can goes toe to toe with Ridley Scott’s Matchstick Men.
This week Jeff, Nate, and Steve are the marks in a long con. Two cons, actually. Spielberg and Scott both used the early aughts to explore fraud and how a life dedicated to purporting it affects flawed men.
