The Color of Money (1986)
Manage episode 403214527 series 3408640
Martin Scorsese baby. The god! We're back with his 1986 cool guy classic, THE COLOR OF MONEY. Paul Newman is back as Fast Eddie Felcher, older and wiser (?), not playing pool but anymore but still hustling. He meets a young, hot shot hot shit pool prodigy Tom Cruise and takes him and his streetwise girlfriend under his wing. Can Fast Eddie show the kid the ropes? Can the kid tame his impulse to showoff? Will Eddie ever get back in the game? Is pool a legitimate sport?
All these questions answered (and more) as we talk about Tim Horton's new felched coffee, DANGEROUS LIAISONS, the career of Scorseezy, the dangers of cuckaine and microplastics, and so much more.
Keep your eyes peeled for a special bonus episode this week, the Official Martin Scorsese Filmography Ranking!
