This week we discuss another breakout hit for A24, Uncut Gems. We talk about the long road to this film getting made from listening to their fathers "hustling in the diamond district" stories to the ten year process of actually getting the film made. After discussing the background and production of the film, we get into the film itself and discuss why it is so affective. After discussing the plot of the film, we each pair the film with another for a pair of double bills!Thank you so much for listening!Support us at Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/DoubleBillChillCreated by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on Instagram: @DoubleBillChillLetterboxd: FartsDomino44
This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we review Marty Supreme, Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein's A24 sports-hustle drama starring Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a table-tennis prodigy with Olympic-level confidence and almost no visible concern for anyone else.Only Dan and Chris have done the homework this week, leaving Sidey and Reegs to interrogate them on the plot, the tone, the ping-pong, the Gwyneth Paltrow of it all, and whether Chalamet can truly carry a film when he still looks like a haunted Victorian child who has discovered hair product.Along the way we discuss:Chris failing to return from Romania with the promised contrabandparents discovering IMAX and immediately wanting a monthly cinema clubthe Safdie brothers going their separate ways, with Josh Safdie on this and Benny Safdie off with The RockMarty working in a shoe shop but dreaming of table-tennis glorya sperm-and-egg title sequence that nobody had quite expectedMarty robbing the family business while trying to frame it as sensible career planningLondon tournaments, The Ritz and the ping-pong federationGwyneth Paltrow as Kay Stone, a famous actress in a loveless marriageEndo, the terrifying Japanese player with the modern grip and superior paddlewhether the table-tennis sequences are CGI, doubles or just very committed editingorange ping-pong balls, champagne bills and Marty's endless self-mythologisinga hotel bath falling through the ceilingMoses the gangster dogHarlem Globetrotters-style ping-pong tricksMarty getting to Japan, losing an exhibition match, refusing to kiss a pig, and demanding one more gamewhether achieving your dream means anything if you have used everyone around you to get thereThe big question: is Marty a brilliant, driven outsider, or just a selfish arsehole with a paddle?Dan finds the character so unpleasant that it limits his enjoyment, even while acknowledging the film is very well made. Chris is more taken with the craft, the period detail, the tension and the way the film keeps moving despite its hefty runtime. Reegs hears shades of The Karate Kid, White Men Can't Jump and Uncut Gems, while Sidey remains deeply suspicious of Timothée Chalamet's pixie leading-man energy.Verdicts: Chris is on a strong recommend, Dan is somewhere between mid and strong recommend, and Sidey and Reegs are officially TBC.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Tällä kertaa arvostelussa Benny Safdien ohjaama A24 elokuva The Smashing Machine. Jota tähdittää Dwayne Johnson ja Emily Blunt. Elokuva kiinnosti itseäni, koska olen iso Dwayne Johnson fani ja pidän molempien Safdien veljesten leffoista. Vihdoin oli myös mahdollista nähdä The Rock jossain vakavammassa roolissa, niin kiinnostihan se heti. Elokuva sai maailmalla yllättävän huonon vastaanoton ja se ei meillä Suomessa saapunut edes teattereihin. Joten pääsin näkemään sen vasta nyt kun se oli tullut Prime Videoon. Mutta miten leffa itselle toimi? Ja miten näyttelijät suoriutui rooleistaan? Tai miten Benny Safdie toimi ohjaajana? Ja kumpi Safdien veljeksistä on oma suosikki? Näihin vastauksia arvostelussa. Oletko nähnyt tämän? Mitä mieltä? Miten Johnson ja Blunt suoriutui sinun mielestä? Entä mikä on suosikki Dwayne Johnson leffa? Entä Emily Bluntin? Entä kumpi on suosikkisi Safdien veljeksistä?

Odissea di Christopher Nolan è davvero un capolavoro oppure il regista ha costruito soprattutto il più grande evento cinematografico dell'anno? In questa puntata di Spin-Off analizziamo con spoiler il film interpretato da Matt Damon, confrontando tre opinioni diverse su pregi, difetti e scelte più controverse dell'adattamento. Partiamo dal ritmo estremamente veloce, che costringe Nolan a comprimere molte tappe del viaggio di Ulisse: le Sirene, Circe, Calipso, Polifemo, Scilla e Cariddi. Discutiamo anche dei dialoghi a volte troppo moderni, delle scene meno riuscite e della capacità del regista di costruire personaggi femminili complessi e memorabili. Passiamo poi ai punti più alti del film: la conquista di Troia, gli uomini chiusi nel cavallo, il nubifragio, l'incontro con Tiresia nell'Ade, lo scontro finale con i Proci e le interpretazioni di Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway e Benny Safdie. Ampio spazio anche alla colonna sonora di Ludwig Göransson, al confronto tra IMAX 70mm, 70mm e sala tradizionale e alla capacità di Nolan di trasformare ogni sua uscita in un evento mondiale. Analizziamo infine il significato del viaggio di Ulisse: il trauma della guerra, il senso di colpa, il karma che collega la distruzione di Troia al ritorno a Itaca e il passaggio di testimone verso Telemaco. Chiudiamo affrontando le polemiche sul casting, le accuse di scarsa fedeltà a Omero e la guerra tra chi considera Nolan infallibile e chi sembra volerlo demolire a prescindere. Odissea è davvero un capolavoro o il suo successo dipende soprattutto dall'hype? Attenzione: la puntata contiene spoiler completi sul film.

The Odyssey (2026) Directed by: Christopher Nolan Written by: Christopher Nolan Starring: Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Elliot Page, John Leguizamo, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal, Himesh Patel, Mia Goth, Bill Irwin, Travis Scott IMDB: [IMDB LINK] Episode Summary In this episode of Mindframes, Michael and Dave discuss The Odyssey (2026), Christopher Nolan's three-hour adaptation of Homer — a $250 million epic and the first narrative feature shot entirely on IMAX 70mm. The discussion covers Nolan as an auteur and whether the "never made a bad movie" claim holds up, the practical-effects approach to the Cyclops and Circe, the deliberately cold Northern palette imposed on the Mediterranean, Ludwig Göransson's score, and an ensemble so large the hosts concede they can't get to everyone. After the ratings, the spoiler section turns to the film's central choice: the Olympian gods have been removed while the monsters remain, and what that does to Odysseus' moral agency. Comparisons range across Nolan's own filmography, Troy, The Northman, and the sword-and-sandal epics of the 1950s and '60s. Reviews Michael: 4.5 / 5 — came out thinking four, and it has only grown in his esteem since. Praises the baseline of visual and musical quality, Damon working better as a lead than expected, and a supporting cast that carries every stop on the journey. Docks it for a cast so crowded it distracts, and for an ending too in love with its own moralism. Dave: 4.5 / 5 — would watch it again in a heartbeat. Calls it a film that grabs hold of empire, heroism, reverence, and humility all at once, and rates the separation of gods from monsters as pitch perfect. His one dent in the fender: the film plays a little episodic, a series of very large encounters rather than a single build. Thematic Discussion The Odyssey removes the Olympians but keeps the monsters. Circe, the Sirens, and the Cyclops are all simply part of the natural world here; it's Athena and Zeus who stay shadowy and inferred. Michael's reading is that this absence exists to hand moral agency back to Odysseus — if the gods were visibly steering, his guilt over the Trojan Horse wouldn't be his to carry. That guilt is framed through xenia, the Greek code of hospitality. Odysseus offered a gift that turned out to be murder, and comes to believe that breaking that norm is what set his civilization's collapse in motion. The hosts draw the parallel to the erosion of political and social norms in contemporary America, and to the film's closing turn — the Bronze Age is ending because of the Sea Peoples, and the Greeks realize they are the Sea Peoples. The episode's central disagreement is over Athena. Dave reads her as constructed: she wears the face of a priestess Odysseus watched his own men murder in her temple, and the film is showing how humans build gods out of guilt and the sense that something is sacred. Michael pushes back that the film sustains a genuine ambiguity — the idea that gods appear in human form is planted repeatedly, and the priestess is decapitated at the exact moment Athena's statue is, which leaves open that Odysseus may believe they killed a god. He points to the same ambiguity in the Cyclops' cry to Poseidon, which some of the crew claim to hear and neither Odysseus nor the audience does. Neither host resolves it, and both prefer it that way. Michael's position is that the ambiguity is the answer rather than the absence of one — something underpins their world that they don't fully see and are damaging anyway, whether that's Zeus and Poseidon or simply decency and the value of human life. Dave, arriving from a position of religious faith, says he likes that Odysseus has to live in the same uncertain world the rest of us do. The structural evidence they land on: Homer ends with a deus ex machina, Athena descending to stop the cycle of revenge. Nolan cuts it. Nobody intervenes, so Odysseus abdicates, gives the throne to Telemachus, and sails west with Penelope — a change that hands the ending's moral weight entirely to the man.

SPOILER ALERT Christopher Nolan made The Odyssey, and somehow the loudest movie of the year is about a guy who just wants to go home. This week on Thumb War, we're joined by Dan to break down Nolan's massive Greek mythology epic: Matt Damon as Odysseus, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, Samantha Morton, Elliot Page, Charlize Theron, gods, monsters, boats, gongs, suitors, and one dog scene that nearly destroyed us. We talk about the IMAX spectacle, the punishing Dolby sound mix, the score, the Cyclops, the Sirens, Calypso, Athena, the suitor massacre, Tom Holland's eternal Spider-Man baby face, Matt Damon's “smart guy” energy, and whether this is actually top-three Nolan. Jason went in dreading The Odyssey. Rachel saw it twice and would apparently go again. Dan elevated the show, as usual. Full spoiler review is up now.

An adaptation and production that represents everything as big as movies can get in 2026, Nolan's telling of Homer's epic poem has generated a ton of conversation for its new IMAX technology, its breathtaking practical set pieces, seemingly controversial casting decisions, its symbolism, themes, and other adaptation choices, the performances from its massive A-list Hollywood cast, and the score by Ludwig Göransson. Zeus welcomes you all. It's an epic-sized review for an epic-sized film, and we ask you to please come on the journey with us as we discuss these topics, its chances at awards season, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

In today's Daily Fix:Another casualty in the big Xbox reset of 2026 is reportedly an unannounced Halo multiplayer project. The game was in development at Certain Affinity, who is a support studio with credits on several other Halo and Call of Duty titles. Halo 5's Warzone mode was apparently an inspiration for the game, and was to be built in Unreal Engine, like the soon-to-be-released Halo: Campaign Evolved. In other news, Matt Reeves' The Batman Part 2 is being delayed to 2028 (!) which would make it about six years since Part 1 dropped in 2022. For comparison, all three of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight movies were released in a seven-year period. And speaking of Christopher Nolan, The Odyssey will be journeying to theaters this weekend, as well as in Fortnite. Skins for Matt Damon's Odysseus and Benny Safdie's Agamemnon will be available in the game starting tomorrow.
Benny Safdie on His Role in The Odyssey
American mixed martial artist and actor Ryan Bader joins the podcast to talk about his journey from law school and a cubicle sales job to becoming a professional fighter. What started as helping a friend train for the UFC turned into a passion, and after a handful of fights, Ryan realized he had found his career. Ryan also shares how acting unexpectedly entered his life when director Benny Safdie reached out about an audition. With encouragement from Emily Blunt, he began exploring opportunities beyond the fight world. The conversation covers the mental side of fighting, the long wait before stepping into the cage on fight night, and the surprising twists that can come from taking a chance on something new. All of this — and more — on this episode of Riggle's Picks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with the Safdie Brothers, originally episode 307 from 2020-01-15.Original writeup below:You may know them from the fantastic ‘Good Time' (featuring a tightly wound Robert Pattinson), or maybe ‘Heaven Knows What', but for sure you will be seeing much more of them with their new Netflix / cinema joint and Adam Sandler-starring ‘Uncut Gems'! Pip is a confirmed fan of course, and caught up with them on a very swift whirlwind run in London to talk all things film, from the time taken to get to this stage with the film, seeing the effect of it on an audience (especially comedically), the casting of Adam Sandler, the importance of voices, the use of extras in a far more involved sense, British acting and the realism of it, casting real people, working with musicians, using New York as a character, their intense focus on character even down to auditioning actors for one line appearances, and the sonic world of a film including the ‘Atmos' mix which they go into. Amazing - proper film nerd's one here and you're not one, you might well be by the end.

Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the animated adventure comedy film based on Nintendo's Mario video game franchise. It is the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) and is once again produced by Illumination and Nintendo. Princess Rosalina (Brie Larson), the adoptive mother of the Lumas living in the Comet Observatory, is kidnapped by Bowser Jr. (Benny Safdie), who plots to drain her power to create life to fuel a universe-destroying cannon in honour of his father, Bowser (Jack Black), who was defeated by Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day). Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), Toad (Keegan-Michael Key), and their new pal Yoshi (Donald Glover), venture into space, exploring cosmic worlds and tackling galactic challenges far from the familiar Mushroom Kingdom. We break down all things cameos, references, easter eggs, and the all important plot.
Review các phim ra rạp từ ngày 03/04/2026:PHI VỤ CUỐI CÙNG – T18Đạo diễn: Put Puttipong NakthongDiễn viên: Somphol Rungphanit, Sarika Sartsilpsupa, Chatchai PlengpanichThể loại: Hành Động, Tâm LýPetch là một tay súng đánh thuê, người đã dành phần lớn cuộc đời sống giữa thế giới bạo lực, nơi những phi vụ đẫm máu diễn ra như một phần công việc thường nhật. Sau nhiều năm lún sâu vào tội lỗi, Petch bắt đầu khao khát rời bỏ con đường cũ để tìm lại tự do và một cuộc sống bình thường. Thế nhưng quá khứ không dễ dàng buông tha anh. Khi những người thân cận bị cuốn vào cuộc thanh trừng giữa các băng nhóm, Petch buộc phải quay lại thế giới mà anh từng cố gắng trốn chạy. Anh chấp nhận thực hiện một nhiệm vụ cuối cùng đầy nguy hiểm, với hy vọng có thể xóa bỏ mọi ân oán trong quá khứ. Nhưng cũng từ đây, Petch bị đẩy vào cuộc đối đầu nghẹt thở với những thế lực từng tạo nên anh. Trong trận chiến sinh tử ấy, mỗi viên đạn đều mang theo cái giá phải trả, và chỉ một sai lầm cũng có thể khiến anh đánh đổi bằng chính mạng sống của mình.ÁNH DƯƠNG CỦA MẸ - T13Đạo diễn: Gavin LINDiễn viên: Judy Ongg, CHEN Yi-Han, SUN Shu-May, Amber An, CHUNG Hsin-LingThể loại: Tâm LýTrong không gian ngột ngạt của một nhà tù nữ, một mầm sống mới đã nảy mầm: một bé gái chào đời giữa tiếng hát mừng sinh nhật và vòng tay của bốn nữ tù nhân. Mỗi người phụ nữ ấy đều mang một bản án và một quá khứ đầy vết sẹo, nhưng sự xuất hiện của đứa trẻ đã trở thành tia sáng duy nhất sưởi ấm tâm hồn họ. Mọi chuyện trở nên xáo trộn khi một tù nhân mới đầy nổi loạn gia nhập nhóm. Từ những va chạm, mâu thuẫn nảy lửa ban đầu, sự hiện diện ngây thơ của bé gái đã dần xóa tan khoảng cách, biến những con người xa lạ thành một gia đình đặc biệt. Hạnh phúc ngắn chẳng được bao lâu khi đứa trẻ được chẩn đoán mắc một căn bệnh hiểm nghèo về mắt, đe dọa sẽ lấy đi ánh sáng vĩnh viễn. Để dành tặng em một kỷ niệm cuối cùng thật trọn vẹn, những người mẹ "không cùng huyết thống" đã quyết định thành lập một dàn đồng ca ngay sau song sắt. Dựa trên câu chuyện có thật đầy xúc động, đạo diễn Gavin Lin đã nhào nặn nên một thước phim tâm lý đầy cảm xúc, đan xen khéo léo giữa tiếng cười rộn rã, âm nhạc chữa lành và hành trình tìm lại bản ngã, hướng thiện của những con người từng lầm lỗi.PHIM SUPER MARIO THIÊN HÀĐạo diễn: Aaron Horvath, Michael JelenicDiễn viên: Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Benny Safdie, Kevin Michael Richardson và Brie Larson.Thể loại: Hài, Hành Động, Hoạt HìnhPhim Super Mario Thiên Hà là một bộ phim hoạt hình được lấy bối cảnh trong thế giới của Anh Em Super Mario và là phần tiếp theo của Phim Anh Em Super Mario – tác phẩm ra mắt năm 2023 và đạt doanh thu hơn 1,3 tỷ đô la trên toàn cầu.
