After our brief detour via The Hustler, this week we're talking about Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money. This movie introduces a young Tom Cruise into the Fast Eddie saga and Paul Newman reprises his role as Eddie Felson. We talk about why this movie works so well as a legacy sequel — plus some other legacy sequels that get it right — and the great tricks Marty and Thelma Schoonmaker employ to make pool exciting to watch.As a little extra note, Let's Party with Marty will be on hiatus until mid-September while we focus our attentions on our sister show, Let's Jaws for a Minute. We'll be back for more Marty madness in a few months time ...

Episode 33: The Hustler
In this episode, Sarah and MJ talk about a film that is neither on Scorsese's list of companion films, nor is it a film he directed. However, The Color of Money is a sequel to The Hustler, and your illustrious co-hosts love to yap. So, they decided to do an episode dedicated to the first film in the Fast Eddie Felson saga, The Hustler. They talk about 1 vs. 1 competitions, the ambitious nature of the film, and the hottest person to ever walk the Earth, Paul Newman.

Episode 32: Il Sorpasso
This week we're discussing the companion movie for Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money, the Italian comedy Il Sorpasso from 1962. We discuss whether it is really a comedy, how it balances conflicting tones, and whether any art is really new at all.

Episode 31: After Hours
There's no rules for this podcast, it's After Hours babyyyyyyyy! Joining Sarah & MJ to talk about this Scorsese movie is friend of the show and co-host of "The Bond We Share" podcast, Adam Moffett. We get into our own real-life near-After Hours experiences, discuss the brilliant sight gags in this movie, and talk about why it is one of Scorsese's most underrated - yet easy to rewatch - movies.

Episode 30: Up in Mabel's Room
It's our final stop before After Hours with another Allan Dwan farce, Up in Mabel's Room. While you'd be forgiven for thinking we're watching the same film as the last episode, this does fix some of the problems we had with Getting Gertie's Garter. We talk about the side characters that can steal the show in a farcical comedy, the fine line between horror and comedy, and discuss Martin Scorsese's quite frankly insane slate of possible upcoming movies.
