Episode 216 – 03/06/2021 – 5 Card Stud with Penelope Bartlett

For their latest poker movie special, James and Joe discuss the 1968 Western '5 Card Stud', starring Dean Martin and Robert Mitchum. They're joined for a spoiler-filled review of the film by Penelope Bartlett, Director of Programming at the Criterion Channel. Penny is a big poker fan who plays in an online home game with Joe, and included '5 Card Stud' in a season of gambling-related classics. The film is also the subject of this week's Superfan quiz, with David Westerveld from Toronto competing for a #SundayMillion ticket and some PokerStars merch. Elsewhere, Joe has an update on another poker-themed movie ('The Card Counter') and recounts a few hand histories from a live tournament he recently played in LA.

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.
