Challengers

This week, we review Challengers. We also discuss sports movies in Concessions of a Cinephile, and more! The Bloody Awesome Movie Podcast delivers a spoiler-free review of a film, usually a new release with some exceptions, every week. Then Matt Hudson (@wiwt_uk) from What I Watched Tonight and Jonathan Berk (@berkreviews) from Berkreviews.com will introduce a variety of movies or pop-culture-related topics in a series of segments. For some movies, a bonus episode that is full of spoilers will drop a few days later.  Review of Challengers Director, writer, and cast provided by Letterboxd.com IMDb.com Synopsis: Tennis player turned coach Tashi has taken her husband, Art, and transformed him into a world-famous Grand Slam champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she signs him up for a “Challenger” event — close to the lowest level of pro tournament — where he finds himself standing across the net from his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend.
