Episode 78: Luca Guadagnino's Challengers

Tie Point! New Episode served!

The Boys serve up a review of “Challengers”, the new film from famed ALGERIAN director Luca Guadagnino, and lob some deep, right-on-the-line analysis and film discussion. The director of “Bones and All” serves up different kinds of bones in the tennis-threesome erotic drama, and Emcee and Cupcake find themselves volleying back and forth over the film’s performances, the time jumps, the camera work, and all the sexy sexy. Is Challengers a film lover’s dream or is it arty, pumped up CW-YA-erotica starring a ubiquitous but albeit gorgeous actress?

NOTE: Cupcake and Emcee have a brief SPOILER talk about the film “All of Us Strangers”....please check the timestamps if you don’t want it spoiled.

But first, Emcee goes budgetary in his plus, while Cupcake plus’es yest another action flick. Stick around for “Q&Alex when the hosts talk perks, movie genres, pet peeves, and first kisses..
