Some of you have probably seen this already, but I thought I’d end the week by sharing it here, anyway.

A tip of the fedora to our buddy, Remko Rinkema, for having tweeted about it yesterday https://twitter.com/RemkoMedia/status/756227940598231040 -- a short three-minute clip from a longer interview Matt Damon recently gave to BBC Radio 1.

During the clip Damon talks about the 1998 film Rounders, starting off by noting how when the film was made, the skill element in poker wasn’t appreciated by the larger public nearly as much as is the case today.

He also chats a little about having gotten the chance to visit the underground clubs in New York on which the ones in the film were based, then moves on to share a hilarious anecdote about John Malkovich.
