Kerry Coddett, actress and comedian known for her work in Flatbush Misdemeanors, Ramy, Crashing, and The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, joins Laci for one of the most colorful scams we've ever covered. In Astoria, Queens, one couple scammed multiple members of their immigrant community with one of the ugliest houses ever seen on Zillow. Multiple fronts, including a fashion house, delayed justice, but as with most scams, greed eventually caught up with the perpetrators. SOCIALS: Join us on YouTube!

Laci is joined by the hilarious Jay Jurden in this extra long episode exploring the heist of a Nicolas Cage film from a flash drive someone left on a desk. Throughout Cage's (née Coppola) storied career, he's starred in some of the greatest movies of all time (Adaptation), and he's led some of the worst (see streaming titles). But no one predicted an entire film could be stolen. Now, producers are suing, and we're left wondering if this film about the man who inspired the creation of James Bond will ever see the light of day.
