In this episode, we discuss and review Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme.We break down Safdie’s anxiety-fueled character study starring Timothée Chalamet as Marty Reisman — a hustler driven less by table tennis and more by obsession, notoriety, and recognition. We dive into whether the film’s marketing helped or hurt audience expectations, why Marty is intentionally unlikeable, and how the movie subverts the traditional “rags-to-riches” sports narrative.We also explore the film’s bold ending, Chalamet’s Oscar-worthy performance, Safdie’s unconventional casting choices, the use of anachronistic music, and why Marty Supreme may ultimately be about fame — not ping pong.Is the ending hopeful? Is the character arc earned? And does this film reward viewers who meet it on its own terms?Let’s talk Marty Supreme.Join us next week as we discuss One Battle After Another.
