About this episode
Sean and Amanda dream big on today’s show because they’re breaking down one of their most anticipated movies of the year with Josh Safdie’s ‘Marty Supreme,’ starring Timothée Chalamet. They make the case for why it’s one of the best movies of the year, celebrate its relentless and propulsive filmmaking style, and highlight their favorite individual scenes from the movie (1:31). Then, Sean is joined by Safdie to discuss the intense pressure he faced following the success of ‘Uncut Gems,’ why Chalamet’s personal ambition and drive made him perfect for the lead role of Marty, and work through whether or not this is a “chapter closing” type of movie for Safdie as a director (1:00:26).
Hosts: Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins
