Episode 106: The Sports Movie Showcase XIV -- Hustle (2022)

from Adam Cheek's Sports Week · host Adam Cheek

My buddy Jackson Hardy joins the podcast this week to talk about Hustle, the 2022 basketball movie starring Adam Sandler! This completes a sort of Sandler / Safdies arc on the podcast, which started with The Smashing Machine, then went to Uncut Gems and Marty Supreme, and concluded with the (other) Sandler basketball film.Jackson and I talk about how well-crafted the movie is and how it has such a pure love for the game of basketball. We talk about its setting -- Philadelphia -- and how that plays into the 76ers being the film's central team; Anthony Edwards' acting turn (just kind of playing himself); how good Juancho Hernangómez is as Bo Cruz; and the craftsmanship behind the basketball scenes.-------------------------Original intro/outro music created by Christina von Claparede-Crola and Justin Paciocco
