Ep. 37 - Poolhall Junkies (More Tarantino-inspired films)
from Classic American Movies · host Christopher Kelly
Josh Bennett is back to talk about another 90’s (in this case, early 2000’s) Tarantino-inspired film. “Poolhall Junkies” was written by two real pool hustlers who were trying to hustle each other, then decided to write a script based on thier personal experiences. Although never directly stated, this film was one of many that was heavily inspired by Quentin Tarantino after his massive success in the 90's. The film was set up for a sequel involving card sharks, but life happens, and the idea was scrapped.
