Episode 33: The Hustler

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

2025/04/23

In this episode, Sarah and MJ talk about a film that is neither on Scorsese's list of companion films, nor is it a film he directed. However, The Color of Money is a sequel to The Hustler, and your illustrious co-hosts love to yap. 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.

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

2025/03/12

There's no rules for this podcast, it's After Hours babyyyyyyyy! Joining Sarah & MJ to talk about this Scorsese movie is friend of the show and co-host of "The Bond We Share" podcast, Adam Moffett.

Episode 30: Up in Mabel's Room

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

2025/02/25

It's our final stop before After Hours with another Allan Dwan farce, Up in Mabel's Room. While you'd be forgiven for thinking we're watching the same film as the last episode, this does fix some of the problems we had with Getting Gertie's Garter. We talk about the side characters that can steal the show in a farcical comedy, the fine line between horror and comedy, and discuss Martin Scorsese's quite frankly insane slate of possible upcoming movies.

Episode 29: Getting Gertie's Garter

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

2025/02/14

We're still on the road to After Hours and talking about another Allan Dwan farcical comedy, 1945's Getting Gertie's Garter. Sarah and MJ chat about why we're bad at using Letterboxd (ironic considering this podcast started from a Letterboxd list!), where this film unfortunately falls apart, and the perils of trying to turn a silent movie into a talkie.

Episode 28: The Inside Story

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

2025/01/29

Is money fake? What even is time? Join MJ and Sarah as they ruminate on these big questions while also talking about 1940s farcical comedy, The Inside Story. This is the first of three companion movies for Martin Scorsese's After Hours, so we talk about its connections to that movie, when is the right time to make movies about big events, and the relevance the movie has to today.

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

2024/11/25

This week we're on the very short road to Raging Bull with 1963's companion film, Station Six-Sahara. Opinions on it are split between your LPWM co-hosts, but we've got plenty of ideas about how this film could be improved, why it should be an exploitation film, and why we're both very annoyed with Nicole Kidman.

Episode 25: Raging Bull

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

2024/10/29

We've finally arrived at Raging Bull, a strong contender for Martin Scorsese's best film and a first time watch for one of your co-hosts! We discuss the incredible performances, Thelma Schoonmaker's impeccable editing, and the brilliant way Scorsese incorporates religious imagery into this boxing movie that isn't really about boxing.

Episode 24: Rocco and His Brothers

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

2024/10/15

Our final stop before Raging Bull it's a doozy! Rocco and His Brothers was clearly a huge influence on Martin Scorsese's own boxing drama, but it is also a great, great movie in it's own right. Join Sarah & MJ as they discuss the beautiful brutality of this movie, why sometimes 3 hours movies are okay actually, and finish things off with a quite frankly shocking revelation from Sarah to get you pumped up for the next episode.

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

2024/10/04

Inching ever closer to Raging Bull, this week we talk about 1964's Gertrud, aka the movie that could've been an email. We talk about the pitfalls of adapting a play into a film — as well as those that manage to pull it off — and the crucial element to making unlikeable characters watchable.

Episode 18: American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

2024/07/23

This week Sarah and MJ discuss another Martin Scorsese documentary, 1978's American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince. The companion film may have been The Joker is Wild, but this doc also shares a lot of similarities with – and the spirit of – Shirley Clarke's Portrait of Jason. We talk about whether we can believe all of Prince's tall tales (and if that matters), and Scorsese's unique approach to documentary filmmaking.

Episode 17: The Joker is Wild

Let"s Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast ·

We've moved on from the companion films for New York, New York (or have we?!) with 1957's The Joker is Wild, the film Scorsese has paired with American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince.
