With six months to go until the PokerStars Players No Limit Hold'em Championship in Barcelona, James and Joe take a look at the 'State of the Platinum Union', discussing how many #PlatinumPass packages have been awarded so far, how many are still up for grabs, and some of the ways they can be won. The boys also speak to a couple of recent #PSPC2020 qualifiers: Rick Bleakley from Northern Ireland and Greg Armand from France/USA. Joe talks about his new gig as a poker consultant on a major motion picture, and reveals the name of the movie star he's been coaching. Plus, James gets angry with a loyal listener (for the second week in a row!), as Greg Kaufman from Canada decides 'Hudson Hawk' is a good choice of specialist subject for 'Superfan vs Stapes'.
