1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Spret the flick with Bellow Shade New Year.

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do have a new house band in the

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: in the studio.

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 3: They sound fantastic.

5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, now what a start. This is a movie

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 2: that I think might come up in the Oscar nominations tomorrow,

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: The Star of Anyway.

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's it. Later on tonight they'll announced the

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 3: Oscar nominations. And I think Timothy Challo may Timmy to

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 3: his mates. So Timmy, Timmy is going to get a

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: nomination for Best Actor. He is the odds on favorite

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 3: to win the Oscar for Best for his performance in

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 3: Marti Supreme, which is a two and a half hour

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: movie about ping pong. So just I'm just going to

15
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: to start the year off right. I'm just going to

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: give you a sense of what you're going to be

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 3: in for if you're in your audience crops, because I

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: was told props work so well. Are so you've got

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: two and a half hours of this, So there it is.

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 3: There is a lot of ping pong in this movie,

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: and so you might think you might think this is

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: a strange choice to make a film about, and it

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 3: comes from A twenty four. So this is the indie

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: production house that everybody loves and they and they do

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 3: lots of interesting things like everything everywhere all at once,

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: which won the Oscar for Best Picture a couple of

27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: years ago. And so they do things a little bit differently.

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: And the director Josh Safti, who along with his brother Benny,

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: gave us Uncut Gems with Adam a couple of years ago,

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: so that was a great movie. And Benny Safti recently

31
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: gave us The Smashing Machine with Dwayne Johnson, so that

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,639
Speaker 3: kind of which you relaunched, relaunched him as a dramatic actor.

33
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: And so Josh Safti is a great director. And he

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 3: did this research by kind of like by accident of

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: the ping pong scene in New York in the nineteen fifties,

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: which was kind of it was kind of like Prohibition era.

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: There were pong.

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 3: Underground ping pong halls in Harlem and that were hotbeds

39
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: of drama and larger than life character. This is all legit,

40
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: completely legit. And there was a real life US table

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: tennis champion called Marty Riiseman who this film is very

42
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: loosely based on. He was a pretty, you know, straight

43
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: down the line character. And Marty in this film played

44
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: by Timmy Shallamy is. You know, he's a bit of

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 3: a loose unit all. He dreams of his world domination

46
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: in table tennis, and back then people were playing in

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: stadiums like Madison Square Garden film to watch ping pong

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: and you see that you remember the scene from Forrest

49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: Gump where he's playing in So that was in the

50
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: nineteen fifties where this film is set. So that gives

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: you an idea of the same sort of fervor that

52
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: surrounded table tennis back then. Crazy thing, even though it

53
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: was still kind of seen as this outsider pursuit. So

54
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: you're bit of a rebel, you're playing ping pong.

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Wasn't even in the Olympics yet, No, no.

56
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: And so this is one of those clients, one of

57
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: those classic tales of someone who is just blindly committed

58
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 3: to achieving greatness. They believe that they've got a singular

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: purpose in life and they really just stop at nothing

60
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: to try and achieve that purpose, and they probably cause

61
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: a lot of destruction along the way to those nearest

62
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: and dearest. And so one of those is his young

63
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: love interest played by Odessa Azion. She has a lot

64
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: of trouble dealing with Timmy's ping pong dreams. And this

65
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: movie got Gwyneth Paltrow out of retirement. She was sitting

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: at home doing goop making goop. To be honest with you, I'm.

67
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: Not your goopy making candles.

68
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: Whatever it is that she does with her goop business.

69
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: She was doing that and Josh Sati gave recall and said, hey,

70
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: we want you to be in this ping pong movie.

71
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: She said no, no. Her people said, you forget about it,

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: Davin Askal, and we're not even going to put the

73
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: question to Gwyenneth. She's not interested in your ping pong movie.

74
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: He said like, come on, just get me a meeting

75
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: with Gwyneth. Can I can convince her? And they're like, no,

76
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: I'm not even going to set up a meeting for you.

77
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: He kept he kept persisting and persisting. Eventually got to

78
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: meet her. She agreed, and she plays this fading Hollywood

79
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: bombshell who falls for Marty's charms and and kind of

80
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: gets involved as well. So there's a lot of drama.

81
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 3: There's multiple love interests, and lots of rallies, lots going on,

82
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: and a lot of ping pops, a lot of the

83
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: house bands, kicked Ping pongk.

84
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: Scene to go, well, how many no anchovy is on

85
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: my Marty Supreme?

86
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 1: Are you giving this movie? I'm going to give it four. Wow.
