    Nov 28 2025

    This week, Sarah and MJ are taking to the streets of New York to discuss one third of the anthology film New York Stories (they discuss the other two shorts as well). Marty contributed a short film called Life Lessons to this project, and it's a doozy. They talk about Marty's use of music, his signature style present in even his short works, and the nature of art, creation, and inspiration.

  • Episode 34: The Color of Money
    May 12 2025

    After our brief detour via The Hustler, this week we're talking about Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money. This movie introduces a young Tom Cruise into the Fast Eddie saga and Paul Newman reprises his role as Eddie Felson. We talk about why this movie works so well as a legacy sequel — plus some other legacy sequels that get it right — and the great tricks Marty and Thelma Schoonmaker employ to make pool exciting to watch.


    As a little extra note, Let's Party with Marty will be on hiatus until mid-September while we focus our attentions on our sister show, Let's Jaws for a Minute. We'll be back for more Marty madness in a few months time ...

So, they decided to do an episode dedicated to the first film in the Fast Eddie Felson saga, The Hustler. They talk about 1 vs. 1 competitions, the ambitious nature of the film, and the hottest person to ever walk the Earth, Paul Newman.
