Greg Alba & Andrew Gordon react to Marty Supreme (2025), the high-energy, character-driven sports drama directed by Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems, Good Time) and starring Timothée Chalamet (Dune, Call Me by Your Name). Inspired by the real-life legend of professional ping-pong hustler Marty Reisman, the film blends gritty Safdie-style intensity with underdog sports storytelling and raw, restless ambition. Timothée Chalamet takes on the role of Marty Supreme, a fiercely talented and endlessly competitive table tennis prodigy navigating the cutthroat world of underground matches, professional tournaments, and hustling culture in mid-century America. Known for his obsessive drive and brash confidence, Marty’s journey is fueled by rapid-fire dialogue, kinetic camerawork, and pressure-cooker confrontations that feel tailor-made for the Safdie brothers’ signature style. While full plot details remain under wraps, early buzz points to standout sequences centered around high-stakes ping-pong showdowns, volatile personal rivalries, and Marty’s relentless pursuit of greatness at any cost. With Josh Safdie behind the camera and Chalamet leaning into a more abrasive, swagger-heavy performance, Marty Supreme is shaping up to be a unique mix of sports biopic, hustle movie, and psychological character study. We break down the film’s style, performances, Safdie energy, and how it stands apart from traditional sports dramas. ollow Andrew Gordon on Socials:  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovieSource Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/agor711/?hl=en Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Agor711 Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

Starting point is 00:00:00 How do the most successful women do it? We ask them on how she does it with Karen Feinerman. You'll get insights from leaders like today's Jenna Bush Hager. There's a lot I say no to, and I think it's a really important word for women to use. Rachel Weber of Paris Hilton's 1111 media. I'm going to be a much better leader. I'm going to bring more creativity if I have other things filling my life. And more.
Starting point is 00:00:26 That's how she does it with me, Karen Feinerman, wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you to Hewell for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Let's do this together again. Guys, first off, we want to thank a prepper for editing now in these highlights. You guys got your work cut out for you. You better make this one good.

Starting point is 00:01:22 If you don't want to join our patron, just go to site directly. Go get yourself some goodies. So, do you think he deserves the Oscar? He's going to get it. He does absolutely. He deserves the Oscar, isn't he? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:01:34 He just completely, he's a chameleon actor. he just completely sunk into that role. I didn't even recognize Timothy Shalame. I felt like I was watching Marty Mouser the entire time. And just his performance as well on the character. He's ambitious, narcissistic, and just all these, the way he portrayed the character. Like, I wasn't rooting for him, but I also couldn't stop just staring at him the entire time. That's what I love about it, though.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I think it's such a subjective experience you would have with this guy because of the fact that he's not a good dude. He's a total asshole. And like you were saying, he's narcissistic. He's a self-centered prick at every turn. And he's a liar. Everything about him is just so not likable. But somehow Timothy Shalame makes him incredibly magnetic.
Starting point is 00:02:34 For sure. Because he understood. It's like you could see. He knows every bit of him as a human that I found myself going. I know I'm not supposed to because I need to be a better person in real life. But I am rooting like crazy for this guy for some reason to come out on top in some way. You know? And so right down to that very moment when you're like,
Starting point is 00:02:57 ah, he does care about the game. He does want his respect and to have him have like an actual human turn because it's a SAFty. I don't want to like spoil any of the Safty brothers movies. usually they're not like great endings for people. So I was like, well, I thought that was going to happen to. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:15 You're like, knowing these guys, this probably, so I appreciate that they actually ended on a note that was a little bit hopeful for a guy who's like so awful, who's actually learning kind of the error of his ways. Yeah, that was about what I was about to say,
Starting point is 00:03:29 hope that maybe that was his arc, right? Using people as a means to an end for his ambitious and lofty goals in life. And maybe now he's, going to become a better person, especially now that he's going to be a father and he's, uh, has a life, uh, a young child and he, uh, has to be more responsible. And like, look, it's good to be confident and to be ambitious in life. But when you have to screw people over to do that, that's where I kind of draw the line a little bit at that point. But yeah, the performance,
Starting point is 00:03:59 as you said, very magnetic. And he's not someone I would want to hang around or be around per se. And And, you know, what was also very fascinating about this performance, too, is you could tell the people around him that were associating and interacting with him. He couldn't, a lot of them could not stand him and could tell the BS that was coming from him, but they had a hard time saying no to him too. That was the most fascinating thing when it came to Gwen, the Palo's character, when it came to the, uh, Rachel. Well, not only Ray, Rachel, but also to the, the guy who was, like, his partner with the, the ball is like, people just had a hard time saying no. It was like a leach and a virus that you could not get rid of. He was like super glue. Well, I think when you go to that very ending moment, though, like who he is at the end,
Starting point is 00:04:46 it's that thing where I feel like you should judge people based off their actions. Yeah. Honestly, I really do. And we have had those people in our lives where they're toxic and we still keep them around, you know. They become like a bit of an addiction for some reason. But you see that these, like, this is the reason why that people probably, even though they know there he's being. manipulative in a liar and shit is that they could see underneath that
Starting point is 00:05:10 somewhere deep in the recesses of those BDIs that there's maybe a human being under there who actually cares, you know? For sure, for sure. He would use a lie that comes from some sort of truth at any turn. Yeah, like there's got to be some semblance of humanity and it's like every
Starting point is 00:05:26 say, nope, nope, knowing them. We finally saw that at the very end when he was actually, you could see a semblance of care towards Rachel and then obviously when he was crying at the very end for his child and he was finally taking responsibility. Like, yes, this is the life, or this is my baby. I am the father.
Starting point is 00:05:42 So I was like, okay, finally something I can at least root for in this. Because when you were rooting for him in the ping pong match, like, yes, after everything he's been through, I could understand him. I'm like, I'm not rooting for this dick. Yeah. He's, yes, I can watch him on screen, but he's not someone I can root for personally. But performance wise, yes, he was, I was loving what Chalime was doing. I just, I could not stand the character.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Okay, yeah. Yeah, but I understood why you were rooting for him, though, just because all the shit he had to go through to get where he was at. I got that, though. I remember real manipulators in life. And like what you were talking about with the ambition and how you can thwart things, I've been part of, even like in my earlier years, my early 20s of, like, companies when you're trying to get work done where they manipulate, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:30 personal development quotes, self-help quotes, whatever you want to call them. And like nowadays you got like the the modern day influencers of like a Chris Williamson or Steve Bartlett or Jay Shed. Like people who I actually enjoy listening to. And then sometimes you get the other side where they would they would use it in a way that is so self-serving that they kind of they lose sight of the philosophical foundation of the connection. So that's it was cool to watch a movie that was in the 50s where there's like the birth of a lot of, I don't know if it's the birth, but it's like an early inception of a lot of these ideas that are so prevalent now. and it's it's something that feels like a cautionary tale about what happens with that level of ambition and that inability where you become so self-serving you forget about a lot of these ideas of development
Starting point is 00:07:17 are also should be rooted in helping others or connecting with people and I love that a lot because the 50s usually in a movie are portrayed in kind of this like idyllic glamour fashion and there's always usually some type of like panache to it that like pops but everything about it, the colors were so muted, everything was so shadowed, it felt so real, it felt like earthly,
Starting point is 00:07:40 and it was so, like, claustrophobic, whether it's cinematography and intimate, you know, every shot just like right in your face. Yeah, I know, a lot of the close-up stress. I also like to, you pointed out earlier,
Starting point is 00:07:52 they were combining a lot of that 80s synth with the 50s. I've never, I mean, just at top of mind, I have never really seen that style blend in together, but it actually really worked. It was a very fast,
Starting point is 00:08:03 fascinating blend to use together. Why do you think that was the choice? I mean, what did you say earlier? You felt like it was kind of gave it a sci-fi feel to it, right? I don't know, man. But I did like it. It was very, it made it feel out of world, out of body type of feel, kind of for me, but I don't know if there was a specific reasoning for it,
Starting point is 00:08:29 but it, I don't know. What do you think? I mean, from what you were saying right there, I was kind of getting a feeling of like some type of distortion of reality or the fact of, you know, a lot of times where we end up in, when we define eras, even like an era of now or era of like the 80s, it's that era forms not from just that era. It's like what happened before that era that led into it.
Starting point is 00:08:52 And so a lot of the times, you know, if you're in the 80s, and these people who come from the 50s and the way of being then is what probably influence that style. there that'll least my interpretation of it i have no idea maybe the Josh staffie has actually spoken out and said like why he chose that oh it's just like the feeling that i have of it is this is um it's it's something that also doesn't make it feel just like solely precious to the time because it also feels like modern day while being a period piece yeah yeah it doesn't just feel like locked into
Starting point is 00:09:22 that period yeah no i could see that who was your other favorite like uh performer out of it would you say the actress applied rachel she was really good i mean there were were times where she was really compassionate and which Chalome was not or which Marty was not until towards the end of the film. But also too, I felt like a lot of the way, a lot of his actions were influencing her that desperation too. And I actually really felt bad for her because she really cared about him and he was not reciprocating her feelings towards, uh, towards her a lot, most of the film. And then also she was in a very abusive physically and mentally relationship with her current husband, Ira, I think his name was.
Starting point is 00:10:02 So just from that, it just felt really awful. And then, but also, too, she was getting caught up in the entire game that he was playing of just manipulating and trying to whatever it took to get to where I needed to be in terms of money or just whatever, just using people as a means to an end. And that's where I was talking about where, you know, she was doing, like he was influencing her in a very negative way. And I don't mind having that ambition, but when you have to screw people over is where, again, I draw that line.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Oh, of course. Yeah. So I like... I'm not saying he's inspiring, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. He's compelling, though. Yeah, no, yeah. Like, he could literally, he could sell a catch-a-popsicle to a bunch of, you know, people in Igloos or something like that.
Starting point is 00:10:49 But my point being is, I like people who have ambition. I like guys who can, you know, sell when I, what is it, like in Wolf of Wall Street? The Penn. tell me the pen. Like Marty is that type of person, but he manipulates people and he, you know, gets under their skin to the point of they can't say no. It's like, dude, I will say yes to shut you the hell up and leave me alone. He can pray on people's guilt. Yeah, he's for sure. Really good at getting it. For sure. Like he does to his friend, his business partner, almost everyone, he even does it to Gwyneth Paltrow, who was also great. Oh my God. It's an amazing,
Starting point is 00:11:22 vulnerable performance. It's one of my favorite performance of hers, and she wasn't even in the film a ton, too, but she was very effective in all her scenes, too. She felt like she was in a very, you know, very emotionless type of marriage. She didn't want to be in. And then, like I said, she, I feel like when she was with Timothy or with Marty, rather, he felt like she saw a little bit of herself in him. And also, too, gave her a little bit of a spark that she was missing in her marriage. So I thought they had incredible chemistry.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Yeah. So, really good. Kevin O'Leary? He actually was not a bad actor. For someone who doesn't... So believable. For someone who doesn't act for a living, I mean, other than a tough guy on TV, you know? Did a pretty good job, honestly.
Starting point is 00:12:05 And he was in the film a good amount. Guys, girls, rejects, I cannot believe we are already a month into 2026. Now last year I made this whole big goal about dropping a bunch of wade, went on a big cut, which was fun. But now this year, I want to enjoy a little bit more food and, of course, have a healthier relationship with food. And my own body, as a matter of fact. It's more about maintenance. and overcoming some mental body dysmorphia things that I deal with. And a big part of that has been choosing foods that are good for me,
Starting point is 00:12:31 while also choosing ones that taste good. And that's where something that's like Hewell has been a big part of that. As a matter of fact, I actually use Hewil a few times during the week during my cut, but I just haven't been able to let them go. The black condition ready to drink is just so dang efficient and tasty. The chocolate peanut butter one is the talk of the town.

I found this hidden behind a bunch of sparkling water. I was like, I need to shoot this for the ad. And I wasn't able to find it. I'm pretty sure Koi hit this because he's coming in tomorrow and he wanted to make sure no one else was able to take it while we're waiting for a reorder. I'm on to you, son of a bee.

Like when? Yeah. Well, honestly, he gave that vampire speech. A part of me was going, are you really? Yeah. Is this some weird, like, mythology to this film that I don't know about? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Yeah, for sure. That was good. No, he's in, his performance was really good. That actually stood out to me because I wasn't even thinking about, oh, yeah, this is the shark tank guy. Exactly. Yeah, he's pretty good. But, yeah, incredible film. And I, uh, the, I didn't even know it was an actual biography, too, until we, like, before I did
Starting point is 00:14:23 a little bit of research. So, wow, George Gervin was in this. Do you know who George Gervin is? He was on the San Antonio Spurs. He was a basketball player. Oh, cool. I didn't even know he was in this. But yeah, no, incredible story.
Starting point is 00:14:36 And yeah, I did make the comment earlier, which I'm sure I'm going to get some flag for, but it's cool where I was like, I wasn't sure if he was doing this for the love of the sport. But, yeah, everything was, and you were right to point out that, yeah, I think he is doing it for that. But you lose sight of that in the ambition. Yeah, exactly. Exactly, exactly. And, but I'm glad that they really executed on that towards the end where you know, like, you know everything is a means to get to here because he does give a shit so much about it. He doesn't care who he has to cross to get here.
Starting point is 00:15:05 He just wants that level of respect so badly. So. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, a lot of times people either run for fame or respect or like respect or recognition is the thing I've heard before. And he wanted both, you know, and he achieves it in the end. Yeah. I really think the script of this is really, like the direction is obviously amazing.
Starting point is 00:15:23 amazing. Let's get some actual credit. So like Rachel's play by Odessa, a Zeon, who I believe is this actress I saw in the show. I think, yeah, it's a comedy show on HBO called I Love L.A. And she took me a second to recognize her because she plays like, when she's first introduced, she's like hot influencer girl. And that's not her character here at all. So Josh Safdi co-wrote this with someone named Ronald Bronstein. Yeah, the scripting of this film blew me away. because the first half of it, like the first hour of it is, you know, the ping pong. The first hour of it is you see Marty's drive and how he's able to charm and win people.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And he's kind of, he is winning. He's like accruing. Like he's going to the tournament. He's gathering all these successes. He's banging Gwyneth Paltrow. You know, he's like he's winning. And then after he loses that match,
Starting point is 00:16:18 the whole like last half is just him trying to survive. And it's a constant like, struggle, struggle, struggle, and every single, and it's, it's such a cacophony of like a bunch of different things that you get, I would get pulled into one scene of this like conflict that's happening. And then, okay, okay, he got out of it. Now he's on the next scene. And it's like kind of calm. That's like, oh shit, that's right. This other entire thing. It just, it was like a hot potato of all these different conflicts and just trying to constantly solve what was like what to do while keeping it so fucking huge.
Starting point is 00:16:53 human and like the the interactions, the back and forth, it didn't feel like excessive in it. It felt so real. Everything about the writing well is so real and clever. Unpredictable, man. The second half was extremely about desperation. Yeah. And yeah, no, there, like every scene for a moment, the pacing was so frenetic that every second you thought you were going to get to relax and breathe a little. No, something that had happened earlier in the film caught up to him again and like, oh shit.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Yeah. And, yeah, no, they did a good job of laying some seeds in the winds earlier in the film and then letting that blossom into a flower that was just blew up in Marty's face every single time. Yeah. And like, whether it was the dog coming out of the car and then they, you know, that that guy comes back, whatever it is. It's just, or they lay a little line of dialogue.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Don't use the shower. And, boy. Everything seems to blow up in this guy's face. Yeah. Whether he has control of it or not. So, I mean, that was... That's so it so unpredictable. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Starting point is 00:17:56 The film literally keeps you on your toes the entire time. So I'm like, I feel like I'm... Anytime I watch a Safty film, I just might need to take his annex. And at the same time, the ping pong. Yeah. Exilarating. Oh, yeah, no, the choreography from that, and it looked like Salomey was really playing that. I'm pretty sure he was.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I heard he trained for years for this movie. I believe it. And, like, pretty much every shot was, a wide shot where you can see him actually doing it. So I completely believe that, that he worked on that for years. Because I've played ping pong. You've played ping pong. It's not an easy sport to do.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Yeah, there's such a variety of execution here. Like, it took place in the 50s. It had the music of the 80s, but it was also kind of shot like a 70s movie, you know, like it was an embodiment of like a bunch of different eras that kind of makes it feel timeless. Yeah. And for Timothy Shalomey to, you know, he's got him flack for like some of his speeches. And some people have viewed him as like kind of era.
Starting point is 00:18:51 again for being like I'm the great I make fun of it here like I don't really like give a shit about Timothy shall me in that regard honestly like if that's what it takes for him to feel like a winner and win in life then all right cool um as long as not harming anybody and the but you know like i'm always hearing that so when you walk when i walk in a movie like this i'm like i'm going to be so aware of the amount of praise this movie that he's been getting and honestly i was kind of thinking is this going to be one of those things where i i enjoy his performance with the movie's okay. It's all works in synchrony.
Starting point is 00:19:24 The movie itself is incredible. And yeah, within a couple minutes, you're like, okay, yeah, you know, this guy is, he's, he's really nailing this year. Like, I, I've seen interviews and speeches of this guy. And now I am not seeing that guy. And somehow I was aware of how, people told me how good he was. I heard it from everyone. And, yeah, I'm like, that is probably my favorite performance of 2025 that I've seen.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Yeah, I think when Josh Safdi was casting the role, he's like, I need someone who's really cocky in everything real life. Let me go with Chalama. No, literally in the first five minutes I was with you. I think you might have said to him like, holy shit,
Starting point is 00:20:00 don't even see Chalemay anymore. I see Marty Mouser. So, yeah, he literally becomes this role. Like, those are my favorite types of performances, too, whether it's a Heath Ledger as the Joker.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Christoph Waltz says, Han, I can't remember his name in, Inglorious Bastards. You don't see the actor anymore. They become the actual character. It's because I got every little tick down. Even his walk, you know, like every bit of him.
Starting point is 00:20:26 And it didn't feel like an actor making acting choices. It felt like you were just watching a guy. It was so effortless. I really like him in, you know, Doom 2. And I've always thought he, anything I've seen him in, I haven't seen all his work. I'm like, there's this one movie he did with Steve Correll, which apparently he's phenomenal. And I haven't seen that one. But, you know, I probably can name the movies I've seen him in of like, call me by
Starting point is 00:20:51 your name and then the first couple of Dune movies and I'm sure Wanka and I've always liked him and I think he's amazing in Dune too especially but I've never gotten lost in what he's done. This is truly a career defining performance
Starting point is 00:21:07 and you hear that shiver like he was training for years to do this movie and sometimes you hear something like that and it just sounds like some pretentious thing for an Oscar campaign then you watch this and you're like oh my God yeah he totally did you know he was he was phenomenal, like truly phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:21:24 It's easily my favorite performance of 2025 by far. And it is, and it's also a sports movie. You know what I mean? Like, it is a sports movie. Yeah, no, it's definitely on the backdrop, but it is a sports film for sure. And I think that this really, I thought he was already a very good actor from Dune.
Starting point is 00:21:41 I have not seen Wonka. I have not seen that the other film you were talking about. But, and then I saw the one with Army Hammer. I thought he was great in that. Yeah, that was a really good film. and him and Army were both really good in that, but this just showed me the versatility he has as an actor, the range.
Starting point is 00:21:56 And I mean, I've never seen him disappear into a role like he did in this. It was really incredible. I'd be really shocked if he does not get best actor. Yeah. And I haven't seen the other performances, so I'm saying that prematurely. But if I was an academy voter and I was voting for, it'd be hard to vote against him, honestly.
Starting point is 00:22:16 And I got to imagine, too, anybody who had any interoperally, actions with this guy. I never met the real Marty Mouser. I got to imagine a lot of them who really did that are still alive that interacted with the real Marty Mouser watching this movie. We're like, holy shit, it was. This is the Mardi on screen right now
Starting point is 00:22:34 that we're watching? Because I remember I still have never seen, what's the one with Johnny Depp? Ed Wood. I've never seen that movie, but I did read some of the trivia on that one. And I did see that Ed's wife, she watched it, and she was like, when she saw on
Starting point is 00:22:50 Green his performance, she's like, that's my Eddie. So I got to imagine people who have interacted with the real Marty that are still alive probably like that when they've seen the movie. Like, this is Marty. Probably the biggest compliment. Yeah, no, for sure. I mean, that's authenticity, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:07 So. Well, the movie was propulsive, eclectic, like you said, very visceral. Oh, yeah. And I loved, I loved, I have no qualms with this. Yeah, no cinematography, too. They made some amazing choices, whether it be tracking shots, visceral close-ups. Like, there was one specific close-up that they chose to do, like one with Quineath Paltrow, where you can see her reaction to the crowd of like, I've never seen a shot like that, too, like on stage.
Starting point is 00:23:34 That was an incredible choice. There's so many different shots that they chose to go with. I love the cinematography in this film, too. So good, dude. Oh, and a unique score as well. Oh, yeah. That complements the sometimes scores and soundtracks can be in conflict with each other. but the score and the soundtracks,
Starting point is 00:23:51 like they complimented each other so well in this film. Yeah. Well, the score did a good job, not only telling you how to feel, but it was also doing a good job of adding to the stress level as well. Oh, the very, very lasting. I'm just going to say this for the sake of me, is that the relationship with Rachel,
Starting point is 00:24:07 one of the reasons I loved it so much is because he's got two relationships going, right? He's got this one with Gwyneth Paltrow, which is the idyllic, like, aspirational type of thing. Like, oh, I'm being in the movie star, you know, the older woman who approves me and all this shit. And he's got mommy issues, you know.
Starting point is 00:24:22 And then this Rachel girl, she, at first she's just presented as this sort of innocent victim woman, right? And as the movie goes, she becomes as like equally unraveling and how she can be manipulative and how she can be,
Starting point is 00:24:38 you know, duplicitous in ways where Marty wouldn't even suspect, where she was able to fool Marty at times. And then you kind of see why they're a bit of a perfect match in their own toxic. Christ of way. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:51 But to give you a perspective of why she has to become that desperate to be manipulative because Marty has abandoned her. She's in a horrible relationship with Ira. So like you become more encapsulated by why she has to do it versus Marty.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Again, you understand the desperation that he's coming with, but he screws everyone over in the process of doing that. So it's hard for you to be emotionally invested for his sake versus like a Rachel. Definitely. incredible amazing film

Starting point is 00:25:36 the whole movie surprisingly like it's two and a half hours whenever we sit down and watch like a movie that long there's always a feeling like oh god here we go that was another thing too I'm glad you just mentioned that last thing the pacing on this film like I said earlier was very frenetic but I never felt the the time
Starting point is 00:25:51 at all. It was so fast. Two and a half hours. I didn't feel for one second. Because it's entertaining too. It's also like exciting. Yeah. And that's impressive when you can go a two and a half hour film and not feel a moment of the film as well. Nothing I would cut out of it. No, nothing. Yeah.
