Listen "Challengers"
Episode Synopsis
Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Happy Valentine's Day, it's time to discuss the messiest love triangle of the decade! Cam argues that Challengers is an intricate restaging of Shakespeare's Macbeth — where no one is allowed to die. This wrinkle presents fresh insights about both works of art, and some creative character mapping reveals an unexpected, revelatory Lady Macbeth hiding in plain sight. Maggie analyzes the strategic deployment of color through the film, as it both clarifies and complicates the relationships between our three characters. She also takes a close look at the film's music and sound design, arguing that they act as a stand-in for absent characters and unrequited passions.
