TMBDOS! Episode 378: "The Hustler" (1961) & "The Color of Money" (1986).

Lee & Daniel are joined by returning guests Robby and Wick to talk about Robert Rossen's "The Hustler" (1961), and Martin Scorsese's sequel "The Color of Money" (1986). The hosts go pretty in-depth with their thoughts on these two sports films, discussing the characters and the overall themes, and just how well they stack up against each other at the end of the day. They also speculate on how they'd have made "The Color of Money" if it had been up to them. Would Tom Cruise even still be involved? Get out your bottle of your finest, cheapest bourbon, put you money on the table, and prepare to meet us in a game of straight pool for about 40 hours, or however long it takes us to beat you.
