It's the Season One finale of Cinema Reels where Jessica Welman, along with John Cook and James Ross, head to the race track in a Richard Dreyfuss classic, as the trio breakdown the 1989 film, Let it Ride, directed by Joe Pytka,

Aside from John re-evaluating his top ten favourite films for the 100th time in the series, the three offer their initial thoughts on the film, the use of actual horse racing footage, Robbie Coletrane's performance and, as always, how closely was the experience of gambling on horse racing portrayed in the film.
