Challengers
What if I told you tennis wasn’t a sport, but…a relationship? Welcome back to a new episode of the pod where we’ll be covering Luca Guadagnino’s highly anticipated Challengers, which slickly volleys between dense themes about power, desire, and desperation. Oh and the core trio of leads are incredibly attractive.

Invincible: Season 2
SPOILERS AHEAD
