It's pretty wild that the man who wrote Challengers is married to the woman who wrote and directed Past Lives. That means that the white husband character in Past Lives played by John Magaro is based on who wrote this movie, a movie about a love triangle in which one of the men is married to the woman, and the woman is a manipulative, shallow, driven person who only cares about her career and who cheats on her husband. After watching Past Lives and realizing it was mostly autobiographical, I couldn't help but wonder how Celine Song's husband felt about his portrayal, especially when Nora's attempt to reassure him that she won't leave him to go back to Korea is to tell him she'd never leave her work behind like that, but not mentioning him at all. I feel like we found out how her husband felt about that in Challengers when the Art husband character tells his wife that he loves her and she simply replies "I know." The married couple behind these two movies seems like they're working out their marital issues on screen for us all to observe lol

Super nitpicky question: I noticed some time ago on the Filmcast (but not in this bonus audio) you changed from reading “the plot summary from IMDb” to “the plot summary from the internet” and I guess I’m curious what’s wrong with IMDb and/or crediting the source more specifically than “the internet”?
