Hustle

Mark Wahlberg, say hi to your mother for me.

Mark Wahlberg is set to play Pete Rose in a new movie about Charlie Hustle's future, or sorry, incredible life and career.

The movie is set late.

I was like,

Charlie Hustle's future, huh? Sorry.

Not

a lot going on there.

I will say this.

She worked a lot with Arthur Penn and Warren Beatty and cut some other classics.

Of course, Bonnie and Clyde was those guys, but The Hustler, Serpico, and Dogged Afternoon.

So obviously two films with Lumet.

She also cut Slapshot for George Roy Hill, something Chris and I jawed about on Scoring at the Movies.

Acclaimed dramatic roles, Covino.

Pro Sandler, Punch, Drunk Love, which I never really got with, Uncut Gems, and Hustle.

Remember the basketball movie, Hustle? You

know, that was a pretty good one, too.

Yeah, I like that

the good news is the the one we were watching one very good and the one that it was was good so that so it worked out

for you yeah yeah it's like the movie Hustle with Adam Sandler you know he always traveled because you know people just don't understand like VHS and beta and stuff like that

oh no no idea no idea

yeah that's that that's that's awesome that's a really good story All right.

Oh.

courtesygreenbriar says, "His movie Hustle is damn good." Is that the, uh, the Adam Sandler Hustle or is that the-

That's the basketball one.

It's got Wanchol Gurnon Gomez in it.

Also, just thinking about him in that Adam Sandler movie, which he was great.

Have you seen it, Hustle?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was probably one of the highlights.

Not the Space Jam for sure.

No.

Hustle was good enough.

I mean, it had like a good rhythm.

Yeah

... has, he gets a lot of love for his performance in Hustle.

I was, I was talking to some people in the office.

Yeah.

Hustle came up as one of the, the underrated, uh, movies from Sandler.

But it all goes back to, I would say, the people who were born, like, '75 to '95, or like '75 to '98, because that was the Adam Sandler generation.

And seeing this guy who was, you know, an SNL guy and, you know, we were young enough-

Right.

Oh!

Along the way, he shared the court with NBA stars like Damian Lillard and Jason Williams, appeared in films including Semi-Pro alongside Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler's Hustle.

And he's earned the respect of players across every level of the game.

In 2026, that story came full circle.

he's cool.

Nice.

I mean, another comedy legend you worked with is Adam Sandler on Hustle.

Yeah.
