Episode 196 – 29/10/2020 – Shade & Stuey

As a follow-up to their 'Bad Poker Movies' special from three years ago, James and Joe lift the lid on two more "classic” films from the height of the poker boom (2003). They start with 'Shade', starring Stuart Townsend, Thandie Newton, Gabriel Byrne, Jamie Foxx and Sylvester Stallone, before moving onto 'Stuey' (also known as 'High Roller: The Stu Unger Story'), a biopic of the three-time WSOP Main Event winner starring Michael Imperioli from 'The Sopranos'. Joe is watching both movies for the first time, while James is revisiting them and wondering if they're actually as terrible as he remembers. 'Stuey' is also the subject of this week's quiz, as Dave Slusher competes for #PokerInTheEars merchandise in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. Please don't forget to comment, like and subscribe to the podcast.
