Challengers The Watch and Talk | Film & TV Podcast

This week, Derek Miranda (@DerekMiranda85) and Karen Peterson (@KarenMPeterson) go head to head as we talk CHALLENGERS.
As always, featured reviews are done in two parts, a NON-SPOILER review with letter grade and brief discussion, followed by a more in depth SPOILER review.
PLOT SUMMARY:
Tashi, a tennis player turned coach, has transformed her husband 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, his former best friend and Tashi's former boyfriend.
Directed by: Luca Guadagnino
Written by: Justin Kuritzkes
