In this Sports on Screen episode of Sports Will Save Us All, host Sasha Graham and co-host Steve Bollinger break down one of the most bizarre, divisive sports films in recent memory. Directed by Josh Safdie and starring Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Marty Supreme follows a hustling, narcissistic ping pong prodigy whose pursuit of greatness raises big questions about ambition, obsession, and the true cost of athletic success. The conversation dives into:   Whether Marty Supreme works as a sports movie at all   The portrayal of elite athletes and single-minded obsession   Sound design, tournament scenes, and the sensory experience of table tennis   Art-house filmmaking vs traditional sports movie storytelling   Why Steve says this movie feels more like a fever dream than a biopic   And yes\u2026 the scenes everyone is talking about   Sasha and Steve don\u2019t agree on much in this episode \u2014 and that\u2019s the point. From uncomfortable moments to unexpected performances (including Kevin O\u2019Leary and Gwyneth Paltrow), this review explores why sports movies don\u2019t always need clean redemption arcs to spark meaningful conversation. \u26a0\ufe0f Spoiler alert: This episode contains spoilers. \ud83c\udfa5 Recommendation: Watch the movie first, then come back and join the debate.
