Episode Description
This week we review and discuss Marty Supreme, a drama movie directed by Josh Safdie and starring Thimothee Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow and Odessa A'zion, about a table tennis player in 1952 and his struggles to compete in an upcoming championship against all odds.
We talk about the movie's unconventional storytelling and Chalamet's persuasive performance as an unlikeable jerk the audience can sympathise with, how the movie depicts its flawed characters and their choices without telling the audience how to feel about them, the movie's handling of themes such as fairness, ego and achievement, debate whether the movie's ending elevates or deflates Marty's story, and much more.
