Episode Synopsis

This week we review the 1986 American sports drama film The Color of Money directed by Martin Scorsese. It is the sequel to the 1961 film The Hustler. 
The film stars Paul Newman reprising his role as "Fast Eddie" Felson, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
The film also stars Tom Cruise playing a pool hustler, and features Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as the girlfriend of Cruise's character. The plot follows the trio as they hustle pool halls and make their way to a nine-ball tournament in Atlantic City. The film received a generally positive critical response on its release, although some critics thought that the film was an inferior followup to The Hustler.
The Scotsman kicks off with the Snooker Loopy song but gets a little disrespectful during his opening monologue.
The Aussie loves this move - or does he? As we discuss it more we discover that he may not love it as much as he thinks he does. And he is challenged on it.
We discuss snooker and pool - and when Jeremy gets a mention again the Aussie gets very jealous.
