Ep 042 // The Color of Money

Published: Nov. 22, 2021, 1 p.m.

Tate went off the wall for his pick by his standards by picking a popular movie. We review 1986's The Color of Money starring Paul Newman, Tom Cruise, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. We talk about the best sounds in sports, cover the plot, acting, and Sage and Jacob put their "real critic" glasses on and attempt to talk about editing. A cuckoo clock also goes off at some point. 

This movie was directed by Martin Scorsese.
