Was the music just so much more incredibly louder than everything else? Idk if it was the sound design of the movie or a problem of the theater I was at. But we could barely make out the talking that would happen when the music was playing, and the music was SO loud. It was sooo distracting and off-putting tbh.

53:59 what garrick said is so true! Im honestly tired of how many sex scenes are needed in things… this movie was extremely sexy with NO sex

I’m with the boys, the glass floor shot was SO GOOD

I don’t know if y’all noticed this, or if it was even done intentionally, but when Tashi goes to meet Patrick before the New Rochelle Challenger and they hook up she puts on a big white t-shirt, which looks a lot like the shirt she threw on after her fight/break up with Patrick. And if I remember correctly that shirt is originally Patrick’s. I think they both kept each other’s shirts for like 13 years or however long it’s been. To me that felt so significant and feel like I haven’t seen anyone talk about it.

As someone from the country the brand comes from, seeing you spell Loewe like that, kinda hurts. Put some respect on the name, Maggie's Cousin's Ex-Wife wears it a lot.

And he was married to an actress for like a decade, who I think did Loewe ads at some point.)

I think Tashi already had a strong inkling about the attraction between Art and Patrick during the party and beach scene. She came over to their room with the intention to push them over the edge and cross the line and confirm to herself what she’s suspected all along.

zach talks about movies like keith talks about food

it’s just crazy bc this movie has two actors that i’ve been following since my childhood and adolescence-zendaya, since shake it up, and mike faist, since he was on broadway with newsies. my mind is blown that we even HAVE a film with a cast like this that i thought could only ever exist in my mind.

Not to have a “um actually 🤓☝🏻” moment but the casting was fully thought of way in advance and no one else was considered (not Jacob, Dominic Fike, & whoever else) which was just a rumor that spread online. I wish I could remember which interview I read it from but Zendaya said that she actually had watched The Crown & was like “Yo this guy is so good he would be perfect” and Luca had him in mind as well in a weird coincidence. Not too sure about how Mike was casted but I think Luca also had watched his projects & thought he’d be perfect for Art. I kinda hate that the internet ran with the “omg Jacob Elordi, Austin Butler, etc. were considered??” story bc the whole production of the movie was super meticulously planned way ahead and the only big name brought in was Zendaya. (Trying to keep this short is impossible lol) but also, Zendaya was the very first person to be reached out for the Tashi role & she actually selected (I’m pretty sure) Luca to direct as well. So overall, she was a producer through and through and helped bring this to life (along with everyone else ofc).

I loved this movie, but, as someone who doesn’t really watch sports, I couldn’t understand about how good of a “sports movie” it was. However, Garrick bringing up Kobe and Michael Jordan’s stories really made me understand the characters motivations and the plot even more in the context of competitive sports. It made me appreciate the movie even more!

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross simply cannot compose a bad soundtrack. It’s impossible

you guys would love watching the trent reznor and atticus ross video that came out recently where they talked about how one of the only notes luca gave them for writing the score was to make everything as homoerotic as possible 😭

i stand with kelsey that the slow-mo POV shots went on for way too long. the movie was definitely 11 minutes too long

54:40 i get it now kelsey 😂

A big deal is Patrick when mimicking Art’s “tell” the first time at Stanford-Patrick does a “proper” serve perfectly. Art’s expression changing is more than the reveal about Tashi, it’s that Patrick can have perfect technique and he CHOOSES not to.

it's not really bi lighting in the studio but i'm gonna take it as one bc challengers really said BI RIGHTS!!

That IMDB cast list consideration is fake. Josh O'Connor was always the first choice. Seems like someone decided to just namecheck people from Euphoria.

13:30 As much as I love Zendaya and challengers is absolutely my favorite movie this year, box office isn’t looking that great for this movie. On a $55m budget, it’s only barely made half of its budget with its second weekend. It had a respectable 49% drop from opening weekend though and I’m sure it’ll still at least cover its budget by the time it leaves theaters. But that’s not going to make noise in the industry. Definitely has made some noise on social media though.

The international box office is already over 50 million and the drop off was 42% domestic in the second week when on average drop off is above 50%… word of mouth is strong for the film so if it can build upon its online momentum and positive audience reaction I think it’s poised to do very well

finally watched this ep bc my country censored the hell out of this movie so i choose to wait for the digital to see it. life changing. wish i could get the full experience man

Zendaya/Jhandiya got people to the cinema and the audience stayed for the churros.

losiNG MY MIND

Neither Art nor Patrick won the match and that's the point. Art was tired of competing against and hating Patrick; He wanted to retire which is why he kept losing matches in 2019. Art literally committed so many violations throughout the whole match against Patrick. He cursed, tried to hit Patrick in the head with the tennis ball, and jumped over the net. 🙅🏾‍♀💀
