Marty Supreme
Thursday, 12 March, 2026
For their final episode on some of the 2026 Best Picture Oscar nominees, Joshua and Andrew go head-to-head with Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme. How does it fit in the Safdie ouvré? Is Timothée Chalamet a total turd? Do Safdie female characters deserve better? Does everybody really want to rule the world? They'll answer these burning questions and whether this "historical" ping-pong nerve-jangler belongs in the Take-Up canon. After that, Joshua has One More Thing about Netflix's new Japanese gay reality show, The Boyfriend, and Andrew explores some Backrooms lore with Horror in Impossible Places. On the next episode, filmmaker and critic Stephen Tronicek has some festival fever with Terrence Malick's 2017 drama Song to Song.
