Marty Supreme Splits the Cinephile Hissy Fit Podcast

It’s the heart of the 2026 awards season, meaning the hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast need to put their stamp of a few of the top movies vying for the golden statuettes of supposedly massive importance. The question becomes whether that stamp is one of approval or rejection, and, quite honestly, it could go either way. They’re not afraid to rock the boat and go against the grain. The nomination-sweeping and record-setting Sinners was covered in May with heaping praise. It’s time for something more current, namely the nine nominations garnered to Marty Supreme. Get your paddles out and find your orange balls!

For their 224th episode, two paddle-slapped critics, two ping ball-chasing dads, and two wildly arrogant teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, put a back-and-forth table tennis effort of their own with an episode on Josh Safdie’s latest heart palpatation movie, Marty Supreme, starring Best Actor frontrunner Timothee Chalamet. Contrary to the overflowing critical praise following this movie, our hosts are actually quite split on this one. Find out who’s the lover and who’s the hater. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
