RC-2013-117: Poolhall Junkies (2002)
Your browser does not support this audio
Grab a cuestick (hopefully a non-graphite one) and let's play some with the greatest pool movie of all time! Well, okay, it's a pool movie, anyway. And just as Mars Callahan's directorial debut vacillates between Farrelly brothers-style comedy and over-cranked melodrama so too does my commentary shift from poolroom subculture nitpicking to a slightly more charitable assessment of the script. Along the way, I take time to marvel at the surplus of supporting characters, sigh at the zany plot contrivances, and gripe about the film's inconsistent ethos regarding the N-word. Forget pool—this movie had me at Ernie Reyes Jr.
I screened the Region-1 DVD. To sync, hit "pause" when the Gold Circle Films logo fades to black, then hit "play" on my countdown.
Show Notes
- Mike Massey's "finger pool" (think it looks easy?—try it)
- Rick Schroeder talks about his crazy-ass life
- Poker Junkies is coming
- That MadTV pool sketch
- The current pro rankings are here & here (I think I was more or less correct in my surmisal that most of the top ranked pros are younger than 45, but, as I say in the commentary, there are guys around 45 or older who are still tearing it up)
(Jeremy: Thanks for everything.)
