Don Shanahan
The hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, aren’t exactly tennis guys. They are a pair of football and basketball meatballs. Still, they know their sports movies and recognize the skills it takes actors to pull looking like athletes. In 2024’s half-sports movie/half-relationship sizzler Challengers, the actors needed do a lot more than practice forehands and backhands. To raise their erotic games, they needed foreplay and backstabbing added to their skillsets for the movie.
For their 177th episode, two racket-tightening film critics, two titillated dads, and two sweaty teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, circle back to earlier in 2024 to watch more than just tennis balls being hit back and forth in the Luca Guadagnino’s mainstream breakout hit Challengers. Our guys debate trying to say great things about a very good movie and whether or not the love triangle between Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor was hot enough to warrant the hype and sick Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross musical score. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
