Caught Stealing (2025) with Scott and Drew
This week on Story Punk, we are breaking down Darren Aronofsky’s latest film, Caught Stealing (2025) a gritty New York crime story that puts us inside a world of desperation, chaos, and moral gray zones.
Known for psychologically intense films like Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream, Aronofsky brings his brand of existential self crisis to a street-level story where small decisions spiral into big consequences. We break down the film’s tone, performances, and pacing, and talk about how Aronofsky balances character study with thriller energy.
We discuss:
• Aronofsky’s signature style and how it evolves here
• the film’s portrayal of New York and urban survival
• character motivations and moral ambiguity
• tension-building, cinematography, and atmosphere
• where Caught Stealing fits in Aronofsky’s filmography
If you’re into crime dramas, psychological tension, or filmmaker-driven storytelling, this episode unpacks what makes Caught Stealing tick and whether Aronofsky sticks the landing.
