1) This was filmed in January before the Coronavirus outbreak in America. The Coronavirus is real. Stay home and watch a movie. 2) I had to reupload this without the Full House clip because they took down the video. 3) We're saving The Color of Money for the next video.
I assumed he asked for the sake of the viewers who might not know. It's very common for interviewers to ask questions they already know the answer to, because people watching or listening later might not. I've interviewed people for broadcast and have done this many times.
Worth mentioning that the late great Willie Mosconi did in fact consult for The Hustler. Additionally, I've seen it mentioned (though I can't provide a source) that every shot other than the weird masse shot in the film was executed by the actors. Mosconi also toured demonstrating several shots he set up for the film, including the "cheater" shot.
Quick "Pool/Job hire" story. I was playing a guy in a bar. He kept coming at me with distractions, money, raising the amounts the whole 9 yards. During our sets he decided to distract me with a lot of questions. One of the questions: "So what do you do when you're not shooting pool?" I replied with, "it's mostly pool right now as i'm in between jobs". He asked "what do you do?" I said "I'm a professional truck driver" He asked "you any good though?" As I was potting the Eight for yet another 100$ game, "yeah!" His response "Well, you cleaned me out of my pocket stash, while stating you were a good pool player, so I can only assume you are as good at driving . . so you're hired!" I looked at him all confused. He replied "I own a trucking company, you can start Monday if you want a job" :)
I met Jennifer, and a few others, at a pool expo in Philly a couple of years ago. Safe to say she is just as sweet and beautiful in person. Itd be cool if she saw this lol. It was a pleasure.
@@RollieWilliams You're welcome. Me too. I'm so thankful and grateful to be exactly where I'm at. 🙏 And no matter if it changes, I'll still be thankful.
Nice vid. Been waiting for one of these. Everyone is getting in the act from robbers to mountaineers to brain surgeons. Good to finally have a pool one. Thanks for sparing us the Tom Cruise Cosmo runout.
Awesome content Rollie. I just fell over your channel a week ago or so and have already seen all your vids.. I dont' even play pool - but I guess i have to start now. :) this channel is going to be huge.
He didn't just foul, he cheated. The cue tip is only allowed to hit the cue ball no matter what game you are playing. His cue tip hits the striped ball, and the striped ball sends the object ball into the pocket. Hand faster than the eye.
@@PointNemo9 No man, you gave the premise you wanted. I was joking with the fact that he used an open bridge, which is mostly used in snooker, in spite of the, mostly popular in pool, closed bridge. No second intentions, no looking at fingers, etc. Have a nice day.
She is right about Southwest cue. I personally had 3 of them, one from 1985 (Jerry Franklin era), one from 2009 and one from 2014, but I sold the last 2 already. The waiting list on those cues are ridiculously insane, my buddy ordered one since 2009 and still didn't get it. And they are one of these cues that hold value very well on the market (especially Franklin era, or ebony nose ), also not cheap either, u won't find one for less than $3000. Still, it's not about the cue, it all depends on who's holding it. And there are alot of cue makers that can make cues as good as Southwest for way cheaper.
Major oversight not to give big kudos to Jackie Gleason in the Hustler, who was a top flight pool player himself. Check out his 60 minutes interview where he runs out on Morley Safer.
Willie Mosconi WAS the greatest pool player to ever play the game until Efren Reyes stepped on the scene. No disrespect to Willie, but today's pool is a lot more technical and so is the equipment.
I think he is the greatest for what he achieved and meant to the sport as an icon, not because his skill is unsurpassed. Although his skill was amazing the game has evolved.
She's the sort of woman who could be a deadly pool hustler. She is hot and feminine to rock a dress/heels and act meek, etc..But skilled professionally to wreck guys she plays against. 👍
It happened to me once in my life, completely by accident I might add, where I managed to hit two balls at once, and send them in a straight line in their respective corner pockets. The feeling is immeasurable. And I only ever play for fun. I am by no means a pro.
I watched this video last week when it was first uploaded and it included a pool segment from Full House. What happened to that? Was this edited down and uploaded again?
Paul Newman sequence aka the Chad effect : "Thats not a legal shot" "He didn't make that shot for sure" "He has a decent form" Few seconds later "He looks so great that's the best pool movie of all time"
Not sure I understand the Chad reference with Newman and if I am being a prick wondering this. However....I have a question on a "legal shot" in Pool Hall Junkies - about 11 minutes into the movie. Skimmed this video, and did not see it talked about here, asked in another thread and no answer. If you or anyone feels like answering, it was the 8ball wired to the cue ball next to corner pocket. Looked like he double tapped the cue tip to the cue ball at least once and pushed it into the corner. One day I shall find this answer damnit! Can provide time stamp to the movie if needed fwiw.
Sounded like he was asking "which of the people in the scene is Willie Mosconi" and she took it to mean he didn't know who he was. I could be wrong though.
I really hope so. In nearly every sport, there can be entertaining debates as to who is the best ever, but Willie Mosconi is the greatest pool player to ever live & Wayne Gretzky is the greatest hockey player.
Ha!! One of your better uploads.. Loved it! Cool to get some insight from Jennifer and I got a bonus.. Need to look up that episode of White Collar. Thanks!
I saw Danny Diliberto in a Melbourne Florida pool room trying to match up with someone. He said "I got a briefcase full of money outside." The guy said "Bs." Danny went outside, opened the trunk of his car and pulled out a briefcase. Went inside and out in on the table. Full of cash. Maybe 84 or 85. Ask him...
Pool Hall Junkies is by far the best pool movie ever made, my opinion. Jennifer to act like it was just an okay movie is to funny. She is old enough to know Ricky Schroeder. Best movie, I just watched it again the other day. Watched it 100 times and will watch it 100 more. If your a pool player you have watched them all. Good video just a lil biased on her own video.
Rick Schroder (turtle neck sweater) former child actor, Mars Callahan pool player, actor, and director. Played a recording engineer in the movie that thing you do, with Tom Hanks.
Soooo I just looked at the rankings, Jenn isn't even top 20. I'm curious what rankings she's referring to, because the ones that the rest of the planet goes by don't have her on there.
What was illegal about Paul Newman's shot at ~3:30? Why does Jennifer Barretta say he "can't quite see" the combo? Does she think he hit the wrong ball first? Because they're playing straight pool, not 8 ball. Looked fine to me.
Tom Kerrigan Yeah you might not catch it right away, but when you watch carefully, you’ll see that he actually pushes through the cue ball in addition to the immediate ball following and makes contact with that striped ball.
White collar was a TV series about a con artist . If you haven't seen it it's worth looking into . Thank you for taking the time to do these . I enjoy them alot .
Its funnythe first up was my 13 yr old version fav movie was pool hall junkies then the color of money 😁😁 and got to meet tom ross mike massey and stefano polinga around that time i love the game was raised in a billard hall and pool i spent4 5 hrs daily for 15 yr most everything ive seen on these movies i have done and practiced them because these movies but no pool player ever would use these shots if not playing a trick shot torney you play for Position from the break and depend whom your playing or rules rather you can either win or lose off making main object ball on the break ir the 8 or 9
it's funny about the whole "pros dont do that" criticism in regards to Poolhall Junkies.....IT WAS A GAME ABOUT HUSTLERS! Obviously they're not going to act like pros lol
No, he in fact did not….he taught him and helped consult the movie, but did not shoot them. Some of those shots took over a week alone just practicing.
The Hustler 3:40, Is that a legal shot? Back then it was a legal shot. You were always allowed to make a complete stroke. The use of high speed cameras to determine whether or not a shot is legal is just plain stupid. I live with it....but it's still stupid.
1) This was filmed in January before the Coronavirus outbreak in America. The Coronavirus is real. Stay home and watch a movie.
2) I had to reupload this without the Full House clip because they took down the video.
3) We're saving The Color of Money for the next video.
Isn't that fair use tho?
Full House still does that with that old ass clip? lol
@@arsenalexploiterreports6766 I thought so but apparently not.
I didn't see the Full House clip, can you put it back in?
The shot from the hustler was legal he hit a solid first
did this man with a billiards dedicated youtube channel really just ask who willie mosconi is? thats rollie for ya lmfaoo
I assumed he asked for the sake of the viewers who might not know.
It's very common for interviewers to ask questions they already know the answer to, because people watching or listening later might not. I've interviewed people for broadcast and have done this many times.
How about Mike Eufemia? He claimed the have had runs of 555 and 625.@zanethind

She owns her own poolroom in NYC called Skyline Billiards. If you want your Jennifer fix, go there.

You said it Joe. Shoot it all !!!

Best pool movie actually
Confession of a pool hustler…
Bobby Cotton
Rollie is awsome! A breeze of fresh air into the culture of pool.
Wow, this is amazing! A great take on a classic RUclips video series. We love you, Rollie!
Brilliant the way Rollie is constantly digging at himself and admitting his averageness at the game 😀
Nice vid. Been waiting for one of these. Everyone is getting in the act from robbers to mountaineers to brain surgeons. Good to finally have a pool one. Thanks for sparing us the Tom Cruise Cosmo runout.
Great video ! You look so confident, congratulations for all your success !
Awesome content Rollie.
I just fell over your channel a week ago or so and have already seen all your vids.. I dont' even play pool - but I guess i have to start now. :)
this channel is going to be huge.
This is an awesome video. Great job Rollie.
Oh and ty for this video i love breaking things down like yall do
3:29 is NOT a foul. They're playing straight pool. Anyone who's seen the movie would know that.
He didn't just foul, he cheated. The cue tip is only allowed to hit the cue ball no matter what game you are playing. His cue tip hits the striped ball, and the striped ball sends the object ball into the pocket. Hand faster than the eye.
Yesss I love this! After.Color of money I looked for all references in movies and tv related to pool
Jennifer: "He's got the: I-just-learned-how-to-play-pool-bridge-hand"
Every snooker player: Say what now miss..?
She wasn't referring to the open bridge, but how the fingers were bunched together rather than spread. No snooker player has a bridge like that.
His hand was flat, thumb hardly raised and fingers not spread, bad snooker or pool bridge hand.
Geez guys, take a breath... Just a joke 😂
@@rflc92 A joke based on a false premise
@@PointNemo9 No man, you gave the premise you wanted. I was joking with the fact that he used an open bridge, which is mostly used in snooker, in spite of the, mostly popular in pool, closed bridge. No second intentions, no looking at fingers, etc. Have a nice day.
Turtle neck guy, was Ricky Schroeder. They couldn’t have got a more menacing actor to play that part.😂😂😂
He wasn’t supposed to be menacing..
yeah he was in the show silver spoons

4:37 What about Mike Eufemia's runs of 555 and 625 on Feb. 2, 1960? I think they have both been broken by now.
Jennifer is hands down one of the most beautiful female pool players on mother earth....Must be a blast getting to hangout and play pool with her...
How could you skip the color of money
"I mean I had to keep going. I can't stop just because a guy was going to shoot me..." 😂😀
This was great! Thank you
Major oversight not to give big kudos to Jackie Gleason in the Hustler, who was a top flight pool player himself. Check out his 60 minutes interview where he runs out on Morley Safer.
The movie Kiss Shot wasn't in this video. :( I was waiting for it
Shooting Gallery (starring Freddie Prinze Jr) and that Fresh Prince episode would be worthy of analysis also
Todd Collings nah the Fresh Prince episode was nothing but setup trick shots. Jen would have torn into it.
Jesus Christ! This host was overwhelmed by his guest 😂😂😂
Loved this thanks!
I really like Jennifer..She seems to be a pretty down to earth chick..She is a good teacher of the game. Keeps it simple.
Just happy to be here 😂😂
Filmed in Jennifer's pool room in Brooklyn, Skyline Billiards, which is really a great room!
thanks again Rollie for the awesome content.
have seen all of these video/movies except for 9 ball ive been trying to find it somewhere for years
Kiss Shot (some mentioned already) and Turn the River are two other pool movies starring women
where can i watch that 9 ball movie? netflix?
Willie Mosconi WAS the greatest pool player to ever play the game until Efren Reyes stepped on the scene. No disrespect to Willie, but today's pool is a lot more technical and so is the equipment.
I think he is the greatest for what he achieved and meant to the sport as an icon, not because his skill is unsurpassed. Although his skill was amazing the game has evolved.
I want to see Rollie and Jennifer do a video on Pretty Boy Floyd "Jimmy Mataya" and that hustler video he put out. Lol Now that would be funny!!!
They were going to, but they learned so much from watching the video they are too busy now, hustling thousands of dollars.
I've watched 9BALL a few times. good story line and of course Jennifer
She's the sort of woman who could be a deadly pool hustler.
She is hot and feminine to rock a dress/heels and act meek, etc..But skilled professionally to wreck guys she plays against. 👍
11:00 In the game of 3 ball that would be a nice shot.
You forgot one of the best movies about pool, Color Of Money.
Yes WHERE IS THE COLOR OF MONEY!??!?!
Clearly didnt do his research
Most people don't remember it... never mind the fact that no-remake can 8 or 9-ball it.
Seriously. One of my favorite movies of all time. I regret watching this video thinking they would talk about it.
Yep, before I knew who keith mccready was I saw that movie and immediately knew that guy was for real.
It happened to me once in my life, completely by accident I might add, where I managed to hit two balls at once, and send them in a straight line in their respective corner pockets. The feeling is immeasurable.
And I only ever play for fun. I am by no means a pro.
A follow up could be "color of money", "shooting gallery", "turn the river" (nice one pocket), "Baltimore Bullet" (notorious illegal break shot)
I'm not familiar with that and Googling "baltimore bullet" brings up a bunch of crime stories for some reason.
@@5000rgb en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Baltimore_Bullet this one mate ;)
Jennifer actually shows some impressive acting talent in the Nine Ball movie.
rollie is a goof, jennifer is so freaking cool and funny.
Willie Mosconi was also in the Baltimore Bullet, and I think I saw "Machine Gun" Lou Butera.
I watched this video last week when it was first uploaded and it included a pool segment from Full House. What happened to that? Was this edited down and uploaded again?

Did you SERIOUSLY ASK “ Who is Willie Mosconi”????
Sounded like he was asking "which of the people in the scene is Willie Mosconi" and she took it to mean he didn't know who he was. I could be wrong though.
he's asking for the audience
I really hope so. In nearly every sport, there can be entertaining debates as to who is the best ever, but Willie Mosconi is the greatest pool player to ever live & Wayne Gretzky is the greatest hockey player.
@@miket8497 Mosconi was great but if you ask any pro player today most will say Efran Reyes is the greatest player to ever play the game.
Table sitter at 3:12! Who's watching the room. Where's Greg?
When people shark me by threatening to shoot me, I always tend to miss my position too.
Gotta stay focused.
Another movie to look at is Kiss Shot with whoopi goldberg, I hear she did all her own shots in that movie
Jerry Briesath was the consultant for that movie
Ha!! One of your better uploads.. Loved it! Cool to get some insight from Jennifer and I got a bonus.. Need to look up that episode of White Collar. Thanks!
Happy to be here
You can’t end the hustler without seeing the bank-combo (and balls are not in the jaws of the pocket)!

watch pakners starring Efren Bata Reyes and the late Fernando Poe Jr.
Yous left out the best pool movie ever coler of money
The baron and the kid with Johnny Cash,the color of money,kiss shot with Whoppi Goldberg

Rick Schroder (turtle neck sweater) former child actor, Mars Callahan pool player, actor, and director. Played a recording engineer in the movie that thing you do, with Tom Hanks.
The redhead fiancee is Clint Eastwood's daughter.
Correct I didn't remember to mention it.
Fun video. She seems like a cool person. Rollie seems pretty cool too
You should do a segment on Pro Bowlers and movies
I was waiting for the colour of money the whole time
yep me too, that had a great misses in it too.
Gotta love that sweet shot at the end :D great video!
In White Collar, are they playing 8-ball or straight pool? Also, Turn The River had some good pool shots, too.
Love this, keep them coming
I enjoyed her comment a lot.. hope better pool movie is coming soon.
Very good video! Love the wpba and Jennifer. I love playing pool.
She is smoking hot and a great player.
The sky is blue
@@DarianG98 Well, you know, sometimes, stating the obvious is just the right thing to do!
Mosconi did all the trick shots on The Hustler..and Jackie Gleason was considered an A player in real life.
Why skip "the Color of Money" ?
The Hustler covers it. It's the prequel.
Jennifer please add 'turn the river" to your next pool movie review
Rollie you're the GOAT
I think that honor belongs to uncle Phil.
I guess you're right. You're great though. Greetings from Italy
Soooo I just looked at the rankings, Jenn isn't even top 20. I'm curious what rankings she's referring to, because the ones that the rest of the planet goes by don't have her on there.

Tom Kerrigan his cue made direct contact with an object ball. That’s a foul in any billiards game.
@@XFS540 I see. I didn't see that. Had to watch in super slow motion, which I should have done before writing the comment. Thanks.

check out Shooting Gallery and Turn The River
This woman was your comedic equal.
What happened to the movie color of money
You forgot the color of money which is the next movie after the hustler
I very much doubt they just forgot it. They will have their reasons for skipping it, don't know what those reasons are though
@@jumbo4billion that is true but it's an iconic movie and way better than nine ball was lol

willie mosconi did the trick shots in the Hustler
No, he in fact did not….he taught him and helped consult the movie, but did not shoot them. Some of those shots took over a week alone just practicing.
