Challengers (2024)

Today on Wussy Movie Club, we are joined by Atlanta filmmaker Leo Hollen Jr. to discuss Luca Guadagnino’s newest threesome sweat wet tennis in, “Challengers.” starring Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist.   Tash (Zendaya), a tennis player turned coach, has transformed her husband (Mike Faist) from a mediocre player into a world-famous grand slam champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a challenger event -- close to the lowest level of tournament on the pro tour. Tensions soon run high when he finds himself standing across the net from the once-promising, now burnt-out Patrick (Josh O’Connor), his former best friend and Tashi's former boyfriend.   WUSSY Movie Club is a weekly roundtable movie podcast examines films a Queer lens, featuring themed seasons and special interviews with Queer filmmakers.
