Newman New Year continues and so does the journey of Fast Eddie Felson! This week, our look back at the career of Paul Newman features the follow-up story to THE HUSTLER, 1986's THE COLOR OF MONEY! Jon, David & Brent take a look at the the casting of Tom Cruise & where this fell into his rising stardom, Martin Scorsese's career path in the 1980's & why he opted to take this film, the under-appreciation of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, the visual style of the film & so much more! Plus, early memories of the film, the soundtrack, Michael Ballhaus' cinematography, a debate on if this is a true sequel or more of a stand-alone film, awards recognition, how it holds up today & more!

 

Fast Eddie isn't what he used to be... or is he... it's THE COLOR OF MONEY!
