The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good. 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast. To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us. This week, Smokey from Rated H, House of Hammer, and All The Best Lines, joins us to chat about one of his favourite movies of all time.   The Sting (1973) Following the murder of a mutual friend, aspiring con man Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) teams up with old pro Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) to take revenge on the ruthless crime boss responsible, Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). Hooker and Gondorff set about implementing an elaborate scheme, one so crafty that Lonnegan won't even know he's been swindled. As their big con unfolds, however, things don't go according to plan, requiring some last-minute improvisation by the undaunted duo. "Luther said I could learn something from you. I already know how to drink."   This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause email: [email protected]   Thanks for listening!
