Join Every Rom Com as we kick off our Sports Rom Com Series with Luca Guadagnino’s modern classic “Challengers”! Joined by podcaster, producer and filmmaker extraordinaire, Billy Ray Brewton, we’ll unpack the relationships in this complicated triangle, discuss how the game of tennis relates to the movie’s structure and themes, and bring you all the making of info currently missing from any “Challengers” physical media release! We’ll also reveal who’s #TeamArt, who’s #TeamPatrick and who’s #TeamNobody. Join us for this in-depth and at times adult conversation on one of the best movies of last year!
