Challengers
Tennis player turned coach Tashi has taken her husband, Art, and transformed him into a world-famous Major 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.

unlabelledView post →I’m so angry that I Saw the TV Glow AND Challengers both didn’t get Oscar nominations. Like, two of the best pieces of queer art in decades, but no - we’re gonna nominate a racist transphobic movie about a Mexican trans woman written by a 72-year old French cis guy.
unlabelledView post →i was saying to my wife that even the much-lauded horniness of CHALLENGERS pales in comparison to something like BODY HEAT, a movie where kathleen turner literally leads william hurt away to a bathtub with his dick.

unlabelledView post →A varied week consisting of a musical, a sexploitation film, a sequel, & a sexually charged sports drama. All fairly good in their own ways. Here's my #LastFourWatched.
