After a short hiatus, Clare and Alaina are back to explore the world of trickery, scamming, and disguises. You guessed it- we’re diving into the best movies about con artists. A con- artist is a person who cheats or tricks others by persuading them to believe something that isn't true. Some films are about real-life con artists, like Lee Israel (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), who forged more than 400 letters from deceased writers and actors. We also talk about Frank Abagnale Jr (Catch Me If You Can), known for 2.5 million dollars worth of check forgeries and impersonating a Pan Am pilot. We also talk about con artists we wish were real, like Bunty and Babli (Bunty Aur Babli). Not only are Bunty and Babli stellar tricksters, but they also dress better, sing better, and dance better than any other con artist out there. Listen to us talk about these movies and so much more!
