The Long Con
Just a little podcast about TNT's Leverage. May include the following: news, reviews, randomness, discussions, laughter, trivia, history, and/or hilarity.

Just in time to celebrate the return of Leverage Season 3, we bring you The Ice Man Job. With Sophie MIA, the team switches up their roles in a con to help take down the corrupt owner of a jewlery business who had his own mercandise stolen in order to claim the insurance. Hardison goes in as the team's grifter and gets himself in too deep with the mark's Russian goons. It's up to the team to bail him out and finish the con.

Episode 20 is here! The Two Live Crew Job is one of our favorites. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode half has much as we did recording it.

When Nate and the team are asked to recover a stolen painting, the go in to get it back, but find that another crew has already beaten them to it. The two teams go head to head after Nate decides to take them on to get the painting back. (And to maybe prove that his team is the best after all.)

Thanks for checking out another episode of The Long Con podcast! We're back this week and talking about The Fairy Godparents Job. In the episode, the team sets out to recover embezzled cash from a funds manager. In order to do so, they take over his loveable stepson's school, and find themselves acting as unlikely fairy godparents for him.

Unfortunately pre-orders for the ConCon DVD have closed since we recorded this, but we'll be sure to keep you updated on the release date!

It's been awhile since our last episode. Thousands of apologies and all that. Jachelle is a complete slacker (who enjoys talking about herself in the third person) who managed to sit on the episode for almost a month before finally getting it up into the feed. She'd like to say there's a good reason for the delay, but there's really not. Sorry, guys. In the Order 23 Job, the Leverage team takes over the floor of a hospital in order to convince a convicted felon that there has been an outbreak of a deadly virus so he'll reveal the whereabouts of his secret stolen cash.

In the second episode of the season, the Leverage team heads to Nebraska to con a corrupt MMA promoter. But they run into some trouble when they're found out right in the middle of the scam. Even worse when their mark flips the situation on them and threatens their clients if they don't do as he tells them. We dive into some discussions about Eliot's backstory, the Eliot/Sophie dynamic, and why the hell Nate's characters are all so obnoxious.

We're back and diving into the first episode of season two, The Beantown Bailout Job!

The entire team is beginning to realize that there's no going back. Nate struggles with returning to a 9 to 5, and the rest all realize that being the bad guys is no longer enough to satisfy them. When a corrupt banker nearly kills one of his employees and his young daughter in an attempt to cover up his shady dealings, the team convinces Nate to take one last job.

Ep 13 - The Second David Job

It's the end of an era! Okay, more like it's just the end of season one. It took us awhile to get here, but we've finally reached the season one finale. It's been a couple of months, but the team just can't let the First David Job go. So they come back together to finish the job and help Nate take down Blackpool.

Ep 12 - The First David Job

We're almost at the end of season one with part one of the amazing season finale, The First David Job. Nate finally gets the oppertunity to seek revenge on Ian Blackpool, CEO of IYS Insurance. Not only Nate's old boss, but the man who denied his insurance claim and allowed his son to die. A complicated scam involving the lost David statues, Nate and the team take on Blackpool, but are thrown for a loop at the apperance of Nate's ex-wife, Maggie. Things get even more dicey when Sterling re-appears to trap them at their own game.

Ep 10 - The Juror #6 Job

It's episode ten, and we've got another Parker-centric episode on our hands as we dive into a discussion about the Juror #6 Job.

Ep 9 - The Stork Job

Parker has always been one of the most enigmatic members of the Leverage crew. So, it's always interesting to get to see her backstory and see what it is that makes her tick.  In The Stork Job, we find out quite a bit about Parker and her childhood while the team steals a movie set in order to take down a washed up actress and the adoption scam she and her partner are running to cover an arms dealing operation. We've got discussions about Parker, all the Sophie/Nate and Parker/Hardison moments, and Sophie's ability to act well....when it's an act. And of course, all our favorite moments and TRIVIA!

Ep 8 - The Bank Shot Job

It's episode 8, and we're diving into the season one episode, The Bank Shot Job. When the team is interrupted mid con by a pair of hapless bank-robbers, the Leverage crew is going to have to think fast to pull this one off. And when Nate and Sophie are cut off, it's up to Hardison, Parker, and Eliot to make sure things get done.

Discussion this week centers mainly around the set-up of this episode, and how it differs from the episodes we've seen so far in the series. Lots of trivia and some great quote and moments. We'll see you back here next week with our special sneak peak of the season 3 premiere, The Jailhouse Job.

Ep 7 - The Two Horse Job

So, we steal an actual championship racehorse, in order to fake another championship racehorse. Ooh. I like it.

Nate and the team head to Kentucy to help out an old friend of Eliot's when his stables are burned down by a greedy businessman hoping to collect on the insurance money. But things get tricky when Nate's old frenemy (yes, I just said frenemy) Sterling shows up and is giving the team a run for their money.

This week we've got a suprise announcement about the premiere of season three, as well as discussions about Sterling, Eliot's past, and the episode's southern setting. Enjoy!

Ep 3 - The Wedding Job

Slight delay in releasing the episode this week. You can blame Jachelle's pathetic excuse for a computer. Seriously. This thing is so bad it would bring Hardison to tears. If computers were people, this thing would be the smelly kid in the back of the class who eats dirt and pulls the pigtails of the girl sitting in front of him.

While Jachelle contemplates the pros and cons of computer homicide, please enjoy the latest episode of The Long Con! It's episode three, and sticking with the episode order of the DVDs, we're covering The Wedding Job this week. Tune in while we discuss Nate and Sophie's relationship, how the team is getting along, awesome guest stars, and all that other stuff.

Episode < 1

Much like Nate's drinking, we're back! But we like to think we're a lot more fun. And we're better for your liver too.

We bring forth a new co-host! Chelsea joins the team, and catches up by giving everyone her favorites and a Leverage crew of her own design. We talk about season two thus far, the upcoming finale, and speculate a little about what we'd like to see come season three.

We got a little over-excited and managed to talk over each other quite a bit. Apolgies! We're going to work on that for next time. Enjoy the show, and don't forget to tune in for the season two finale, The Maltese Falcon Job, February 17th.

Stay subscribed. We'll return next week with a brand new episode.
