Episode 214 – 20/05/2021 – Ryan Firpo

Joe has declared that, because of this episode, #PITE is now part of the MCU! The boys are joined by Ryan Firpo, the American film-maker who directed the poker documentary 'Bet, Raise, Fold' (2013) and made a series of mini docs about members of Team PokerStars Online (including 'The Teacher', featuring Felix Schneiders). Ryan is now working in Hollywood, and has co-written the screenplay for 'The Eternals', part of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, directed by Oscar-winner Chloe Zhao. So, for this week's show, James and Joe get to talk about two of their favourite subjects: poker and Marvel movies. Meanwhile, Martin Villasenor from California decides to re-live news events of 2020 (why?!?) in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. Please don't forget to comment, like and subscribe to the podcast.

Om Podcasten

Every week, the hosts of PokerStars TV (James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton) bring you a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like being two regular folks on the international poker circuit. Told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes), Poker in the Ears is a mostly uncensored take on the world of professional poker. The hosts also regularly call in favours, in the form of guest spots from their big-shot celebrity poker-playing friends. And they routinely hold on-air competitions, providing chances for listeners to join them on tour.
