In our first episode of ‘Obsessed: The Podcast,' Kevin (Editor at Large at the Daily Beast's Obsessed) and editorial director Matt Wilstein also dive into the buzziest movie of the moment: ‘Marty Supreme.' From Timothée Chalamet's wild performance, the unwieldy Safdie energy, and that ping-pong paddle scene everyone is talking about, it's safe to say you can't miss this movie.

Happy New Year from The Strange Harbors Podcast! For the first episode of 2026, we review Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme, a 1950s sports comedy-drama in the world of professional table tennis. We discuss Timothée Chalamet's barn burner performance, his Marty Mauser marketing persona, and what makes a Safdie movie a Safdie movie. Is Marty Supreme just Uncut Gems or Good Time with $50 million tacked onto its budget? Or is there much, much more under the hood? 

Join us as we dive into the world of 'Marty Supreme,' Josh Safdie's  solo-directed film. We discuss Timothée Chalamet's Oscar-worthy performance and Gwyneth Paltrow's intriguing role.  We also touches on the kinetic style of Safdie films and the film's amazing score.

Writer/Director/Actor/Editor Benny Safdie is known for defying expectations and using his sense of humor to make a splash. He even once showed up on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon dressed all in silver, including painted silver hair and skin. So when we sat down with Safdie over Zoom to talk about his latest movie The Smashing Machine, we weren't sure what to expect. For this interview, however, there was no face paint or sparkly clothes, he was simply wearing a shirt that said, "Radical Empathy." Turns out there's a very important reason for the shirt. "Empathy should be cool, you know?" says Safdie. "And for this movie, I want to put you in the mind of somebody who looks invincible and you're going to feel their pain. You're going to feel what it's like to be them. You're going to be connected to them when you go in the ring. If you could be empathetic on such a deep level, where their feelings and emotions become your own, that's radical. That's a radical form of empathy. And that's what I was trying to do with the movie." Given what Safdie says, it's no secret that all great writing starts with radical empathy.  On this episode of the podcast, we chat with him about his film The Smashing Machine starring Dwayne Johnson as UFC star Mark Kerr and Emily Blunt as his romantic partner Dawn.  Safdie talks about his personal connection to boxing and MMA, why a narrative film can tell a much deeper story than a documentary, and the highly charged fighting between Mark and Dawn that took place out of the ring, and why they ultimately couldn't make their relationship work.  To learn more, listen to the podcast.   

This week on Beer and a Movie, we go full anxiety mode with a Safdie Brothers double feature, diving into Marty Supreme and Good Time with returning guest Rachel Clow. One film is raw, chaotic, and relentless; the other somehow manages to be even more stressful—because that's the Safdie promise. We talk obsession, desperation, handheld panic attacks, and why these movies feel like they're yelling at you on purpose. On the beer side, it's all first-timers. We crack into Künstler Brewing out of San Antonio with their Black Swan Black IPA, then close it out strong with Great Divide Brewing's Yeti Imperial Stout—a heavyweight beer for heavyweight vibes. Indie films, bold brews, and enough tension to make you need another drink.

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. The "Schmoovie" of the week is "Marty Supreme," starring Timothée Chalamet (who also co-produced), Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher. It was produced and directed by Josh Safdie, who also co-wrote the script, alongside Ronald Bronstein. Like the very Jewish film it is, it arrived to the world on December 25 and so Borschel-Dan had to make a rare outing into a Jerusalem cinema. She brings back the unique impressions from an Israeli crowd watching this utterly Yiddishe story set in 1950s Lower East Side New York -- especially how they reacted to Holocaust references. Hoffman, who recently interviewed director Safdie about the film for Vanity Fair, gives us the inside scoop on the crazy cast of characters that flesh out the "junkyard Jews" at the heart of the tale. The pair keeps the conversation very general -- no spoilers! -- for the first half of the episode, but then get Talmudically into the weeds for the second. Hear about our very first unreserved top-marking "not bad" from both hosts on this week's The Reel Schmooze. The Reel Schmooze is produced by Ari Schlacht and can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

Electronic music pioneer Daniel Lopatin (aka Oneohtrix Point Never) joins SCORE to discuss his explosive new score to A24's MARTY SUPREME, directed by Josh Safdie, as well as his background as a godfather of the late-2000s “Vaporwave” music genre and his ongoing record producing with singer-songwriter Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd).Daniel dives into his early life and discovery on early electronic musical instruments, and how a meaningless corporate job helped inspire some of the hallmarks of Vaporwave music, as heard in his 2010 release Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1.

It's our final Breakfast All Day episode of 2025! And we have some great stuff and some not-so great stuff for you as we wrap up the year. All of these movies will be in theaters on Christmas Day: MARTY SUPREME. Timothée Chalamet gives an electrifying performance as a 1950s table tennis phenom. We both loved the film from writer and co-director Josh Safdie, which has the kind of kinetic, propulsive energy we've come to expect from the Safdie brothers as a whole. Gwyneth Paltrow and Odessa A'zion co-star. ANACONDA (2025). Our good friend William Bibbiani -- you know him as Bibbs -- has seen every single "Anaconda" movie. So he was the perfect person to help review this so-so reboot/remake/whatever you want to call it starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black as aspiring filmmakers in the Amazon. NO OTHER CHOICE. The great Korean director Park Chan-wook is back with another stylish and twisty thriller. "Squid Game" star Lee Byung-hun plays a middle manager who gets fired, then schemes to take out the competition for other jobs. Based on the Donald E. Westlake novel "The Ax." We loved it.

This Tuesday on The Run-Through, Chioma Nnadi sits down with British Vogue's November 2025 cover star, Gwyneth Paltrow, to talk Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme—undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of the year.The riveting drama, about an ambitious young table tennis player named Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet)—and the ever-more-egregious risks he takes to prove his, well, supremacy—co-stars Paltrow as Kay Stone, the glamorous former movie star whom Mauser romances in London, then New York. (The cast also includes Kevin O'Leary, Odessa A'zion, Fran Drescher, Sandra Bernhard, and Tyler, the Creator.)In her conversation with Chioma, Gwyneth talks about being wowed by the script, co-written by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein; feeling nervous to be on a film set again; Miyako Bellizzi's beautiful costumes; Chalamet's beautiful skin; and the kind of role that she'd be intrigued to take on next.Plus, the two talk about more great fashion moments from Gwyneth's filmography (the Calvin Klein in Sliding Doors! The Donna Karan in Great Expectations!); the wellness world's recent obsession with protein and fiber; Gwyneth's refreshing thoughts on aging (“I don't want to try to look like I'm 28 years old”); and more.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Un afamado luchar de artes marciales mixtas enfrenta las más duras batallas fuera del ring: sus relaciones personales, sus adicciones y la fama. Benny Safdie dirige su primer largometraje en solitario tras una carrera junto a su hermano Josh, y con "La Máquina" ("The Smashing Machine") obtuvo el León de Plata a mejor dirección en Venecia. Dwayne Johnson, también conocido como "La Roca", realizó un gran cambio físico para interpretar al luchador Mark Kerr, en una actuación que fue ovacionada y que podría entregarle su primera nominación a los premios Oscar. Ya disponible en salas de cine.

"The Smashing Machine" is a biographical sports drama film written, directed, produced, and edited by Benny Safdie. It stars Dwayne Johnson as former amateur wrestler and MMA fighter Mark Kerr, alongside Emily Blunt as Kerr's girlfriend Dawn Staples, with Ryan Bader, Bas Rutten, and Oleksandr Usyk in supporting roles. The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Lion and received positive reviews for the performances, notably Johnson's committed and transformational work and Safdie's re-creation of the world of MMA and the UFC during its early days. Filmmaker Safdie was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his experience working on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from A24.

Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems, The Curse) joins this weeks The Filmmakers Podcast to discuss the challenging process of directing his solo feature debut, the gritty sports biopic The Smashing Machine, starring Dwayne Johnson as MMA legend Mark Kerr. Fellow filmmakers Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir sit with Benny and dive into the Safdie style, his approach to directing actors and making raw, kinetic cinema. As one half of the acclaimed Safdie Brothers duo, Benny co-directed, co-wrote, and edited films that make your heart pound out of your chest. We're talking about the incredible, neon-drenched chase thriller "Good Time," and the anxiety-inducing, chaotic masterpiece "Uncut Gems," starring Adam Sandler. These films established a gritty, naturalistic style, full of propulsive energy, often focusing on outsiders desperately struggling in the urban landscape of New York. But he's not just a master behind the camera! As an actor, he has completely transformed and disappeared into roles, giving incredible performances like the troubled Nick Nikas in "Good Time," the compassionate Joel Wachs in Paul Thomas Anderson's "Licorice Pizza," and the brilliant physicist Edward Teller in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster, "Oppenheimer." He's even popped up in TV like "Obi-Wan Kenobi" and co-created, wrote, directed, and starred in the critically praised Showtime series, "The Curse." And now, he's stepped out as a solo director, writer, and editor with the highly anticipated film, "The Smashing Machine." This intense biographical sports drama, which premiered to acclaim at the Venice Film Festival, stars a completely transformed Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as pioneering MMA fighter Mark Kerr, alongside the brilliant Emily Blunt and other great actors. It's a grittier, unflinching look at a champion struggling with addiction and the pressures of the sport. He's a true filmmaking polymath who brings a raw, authentic urgency to everything he touches. It's the brilliant Benny Safdie! OTHER LINKS DIRTY BOY cinema listings FOOD FOR THOUGHT documentary out NOW | Watch it FREE HERE.

Editors - Vikash Patel, Cedric Nairn-Smith and Kyle Reiter ACE Black Rabbit editors Viks, Ced and Kyle worked independently during post but still managed to collectively craft a complex narrative that stayed consistent in tone and style throughout the run of the series.  And while new guy Reiter described feeling like a "bench player" on the team, Viks and Ced benefited from a long working relationship that began with Viks mentoring Ced as his former assistant.  Regardless of any of their past experiences, star and producer Jason Bateman tasked the post team with creating a vibe that had tendencies drawn from Bateman's Netflix hit, Ozark but also from dark comedies like the Safdie brothers' Uncut Gems. Black Rabbit tells the tale of two brothers, Vince and Jake Friedken, former bandmates in a successful musical act whose lives went down different paths in the years that followed.  Rising-star restaurateur Jake is forced into New York's criminal underworld when his chaotic brother returns to town with loan sharks on his trail, opens the door to escalating dangers that threaten to bring down everything he's built. VIKASH PATEL In addition to his work on Black Rabbit, Viks won an Emmy® in 2008 for his work on TOP CHEF and was nominated for an Emmy® in 2020 for his work on OZARK.  Viks has also edited series that include THE SYMPATHIZER (2024), THE MORNING SHOW (2019), BATES MOTEL (2015-16) and LONGMIRE (2012-14). CEDRIC NAIRN-SMITH Prior to Black Rabbit, Cedric's editorial work could be seen on DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN (2025), MOON KNIGHT (2022), LISEY'S STORY (2021), THE BOYS (2019-2020) and BATES MOTEL (2015-2017). KYLE REITER, ACE 4x Emmy® nominee Reiter has edited such shows as MR. AND MRS. SMITH (2024), BARRY (2018) and ATLANTA (2016), a series for which Kyle would win an ACE Eddie award in 2019.

Ellin Bessner will return next week. Today, we're bringing you the latest episode of Menschwarmers, The CJN's Jewish sports podcast. Subscribe to Menschwarmers here. In July, the New York Yankees drafted a Canadian shortstop from Wyoming, Ont., named Core Jackson. They did so despite knowing that Jackson, as a 17-year-old freshman at the University of Nebraska, had drawn a swastika on a Jewish student's dorm room while he was, he later told The Athletic, "blackout drunk." But this isn't a run-of-the-mill case of antisemitism. By all accounts, according to the Yankees' ground scouts and the recent investigation by The Athletic that ran Aug. 20, Jackson was, simply, acting like an ignorant drunk teenager, and was forthright about the incident with teams before the draft. The team did significant due diligence, engaging with New York's Jewish community and sending scouts to learn about Jackson's family and personality. The resulting story is less about the insipid rise of casual antisemitism, and more about the power of forgiveness when people—especially teenagers—make mistakes and try to do better. Keith Law, a longtime baseball journalist and former front office worker with the Toronto Blue Jays, broke this story for The Athletic. He joins us to share his impressions of Core Jackson and how the Yankees are viewing this opportunity. After that, podcast hosts Gabe and Jamie run through this year's hottest Jewish sports movies, from Happy Gilmore 2 to both Safdie brothers' award-season offerings, The Smashing Machine and Marty Supreme. Then they give a quick NFL preview and recap Zach Hyman's ceremonial opening of the new ice hockey rink at the Schwartz/Reisman Jewish Community Centre in Vaughan.

In this episode, we break down the relentless anxiety that makes Uncut Gems one of the most intense movie experiences ever. We explore how the Safdie brothers use sound, pacing, and character chaos to trap the viewer in Howard Ratner's world. From the brilliant editing to Adam Sandler's career-defining performance, we analyze why this movie feels like a panic attack in the best way possible. We also dig into the themes of addiction, risk, and self-destruction that drive the story.Chapters:00:00:00 What they did to make it feel like that00:16:00 Adam Sandler00:20:06 Getting this movie made00:24:01 Kevin Garnett00:29:27 Is Howard a bad guy?00:33:48 The title sequence is a metaphor for the movie00:38:35 The ending00:41:25 Howards perfect wardrobe00:43:55 The funniest moments in the movie00:53:48 The auction scene01:01:21 Doc Rivers actually helped out01:05:45 Our official rating01:10:04 Final thoughts: VFX that show Howards tunnel vision01:14:24 Cue the music
