Fun fact: The average lifespan of a podcast is roughly 174 days - or just shy of 6 months.  Most podcasters quit before they reach their eighth episode, and it's believed that of all the podcasts currently available, roughly half of those podcasts have 3 or fewer episodes. By contrast, this podcast has lasted over 5 years and 180 official episodes, not including bonus & special episodes (i...

Many consider it to be the ultimate Las Vegas movie…a film that not only re-defined comedy but helped to put Vegas back on the map as the ultimate playground for adventure and mis-adventure: It's “The Hangover” – and 2024 marks a major milestone as the film celebrates its 15th Anniversary! It was all the way back on June 5, 2009 when the world was introduced to "The Wolfpack” and we were a...

The Hangover - which could be described as the ULTIMATE Vegas movie - is marking it's 15th Anniversary this year.

Joining me is David Rosen, the host of Piecing It Together , a movie podcast with a twist and Dayvid Figler, the host o...

Joining me to answer...

So, to save everyone having to search for them, I thought I'd go ahead and...

If you're a fan of Vegas-related movies & pop culture, chances are that you've heard about "the Black Book".
