The Hustler (1961)
Manage episode 401592129 series 3408640
We're back and squeezing in a short "franchise" before DUNE unto others as we'd have DUNE unto ourselves. We chose something good for a bit of a change of pace: THE HUSTLER.
Directed by Robert Rossen (who joins the Elia Kazan club of Communist name namers who also made some great films), THE HUSTLER is a film about having that grindset, the money mindset, of #winning 24/7 365... or is it? ...is it in fact... the opposite??
Alex and Ben talk about pool, Communism, On Cinema at the Cinema, pinku films, and many more hot topics. Join us next week for THE COLOR OF MONEY and a special bonus episode about the god of cinema Martin Scorsese.
