Marty Supreme, Hamnet and The Rip (Movie Squad Podcast #521)

Timothée and Gwyneth. Jessie and Paul. Matt and Ben. Tristan and Simon… and Pam. All your favourites in one episode of Movie Squad. In the wake of the Oscar nominations, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo review Josh Safdie’s tragicomic American epic Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet as an aspirational ping-pong player who causes chaos wherever he goes. Are their raves enough to convince Brekky host Pam Boland to overlook Chalamet’s aggravating PR campaign? Then, Simon and Pam review Hamnet, Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s historical fiction novel starring Jessie Buckley as Agnes, and Paul Mescal as her husband, a writer of note, as they navigate personal tragedy and explore its transformation into a piece of enduring art. Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive review of the straight-to-Netflix cop flick The Rip, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Learn about the new season of Tristan’s Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas held on the last Friday of every month. Movie Squad is sponsored by Luna Palace Cinemas, WA’s premiere independent cinemas, bringing the best film content and cinematic events to Perth.
