Join Julia as she celebrates the second birthday (or Challengersaversary) of Challengers (also known as The Greatest Film of All Time, Julia's Favorite Movie, A Life-Changing Depiction of Why Monogamy Doesn't Always Work for Everyone, and more). 

Julia digs deep to find the why behind everyone's obsession with the 2024 Zendaya-led film. By dissecting the world Luca Guadganino builds, the costuming choices, the production design, Justin Kuritzkes' character-defining traits, the rewatchability factor, celebrity athlete involvements, and, of course, Mike Faist, Josh O'Connor, and Zendaya's portrayal of Art Donaldson, Patrick Zweig, and Tashi Duncan, Julia relishes in the perfection final product that is Challengers.

Wear your sunscreen and bring some water, this episode is NSFW. Like really. It's what Tashi would've wanted!
