Today on the show, we are diving deep into one of the year's very best movies, the Timothy Shalame-starring ping-pong period piece, Marty Supreme. Later in this episode, I'll have a long, deep, fantastic conversation with Josh Safty. He's the co-writer, co-editor, and director of this magical movie. Josh has been coming on this show since we started doing this show in 2017. He was here with his brother Benny for good time. He's been on it many times since. Always one of the most engaging, intelligent, fun guests we have. It's also a diehard Knicks fan, so we really appreciate him in many ways. Things are going great for the Knicks. Did you know that? No. It's very exciting. You've mostly been tweeting about the Mets, so I haven't really clocked in on the Nix. Yeah. Marty Supreme goes from a Mets game to a Nix game in magical ways, and we'll get into that as we talk about the film, and we will do so right after this. This episode of The Big Picture is presented by Amazon Prime.

1:46.6

That's fine. I saw the movie on my own in October. It was like, that movie's dynamite. Put it on number two on my list. Having only seen it the ones, saw it again yesterday. This movie rules. I am amped. I am wearing a sequin shirt for this movie. It's not really

sequin. It's more like shiny metallic. Shimmering. Yeah. I bought this in Paris because I, too,
