The Hustler (1961)

Today we’re talking 1961’s The Hustler, which might just be the greatest movie about the game of pool that has ever been made. Starring Paul Newman, Piper Laurie, and George C. Scott, it’s a tale of an up-and-coming pool hustler trying to make it big but, more importantly, it’s the story of a man trying to figure out what makes a person a “winner”.

Waterworld (1995)

The year is 1995 and Kevin Costner is an apex movie predator who takes to the box office sea in search of prey. Unfortunately, there are much bigger fish in that sea than Waterworld and thus begins Costner’s slip from the heights of stardom. Join us for a discussion of this ambitious film which we both love and hate.
