In part two of our discussion of the 1973 caper classic The Sting, we first reveal who our recasting winners were, as well as some great casting suggestions from friends and listeners. We then talk about the powerhouse duo of Redford and Newman, and thought about other similar pairings since then, discuss the ‘Oceans’ movies, both the original and the recent remake and sequels, and how they compare to The Sting, wonder how horse racing might come off in a remake today, and Jer expresses appreciation for the poker in the original, discuss the 70’s filmmaking styles in the original, and, finally, wish for a greater female presence in a remake.
