You should react to the tv show POSE for pride month! 🥰🌈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🦄
Just a girl and her boyfriend and his boyfriend 😂
i teared up at art asking her to hold him and then him having to wake up and she’s not there so he goes in with lily 😭
same
That was a net violation at the end. Tashi was excited because thats the good tennis she wanted to see FINALLY. She loves tennis above everything. They were all complex characters, all shades of grey.
So who won, Patrick? I watched it in theaters and still was confused
@@dess234 We don’t find out. I’d have to go back, but I don’t think that was match point. One away from that I think, but if it was, yes Patrick would’ve won.
I think it was more that if Patrick didn’t catch Art, Art would’ve got really hurt. Bunch of other subtext to all of it but too much to type lol
@@dess234 They all win in the end, if you really think about it
@@IVNHYPRFNK i know they do
@@dess234 they were still on a tie break. So there's more points to play. Art had touched the net, so he has lost that point. So quite a bit more to go of the game, we don't know who wins.
Rob not hiding his attraction never ceases to amuse to me not one tiny bit, hilarious
He's just like me
His attraction to what?
@@alexmayorov795 to zendaya
@@alexmayorov795 girls he finds attractive OBVIOUSLY
@@alexmayorov795Zendaya
zuff giggling by himself and saying "i feel crazy right now" never gets old lmao he's hillarious
Patrick is in love with Art, Art is in love with Tashi, and Tashi is in love with tennis!!!! They should be a throuple honestly
in the end they are and we love to see it
it’s more complicated than this!
this def isn't the case lol they all love each other tbh
@@iris-xotashi does not love them lmfaooo she knows how to use their love in order to get them to play bc she’s in love with tennis and since she’s unable to play them she makes them play each other.
@@imogenmoonlight this is a insane take, i think you really misunderstand her character and the movie if that's what you think.... if she was only using them cuz she cannot play tennis herself she wouldn't have spent time with them before her injury lol.
Tashi does love them, she truly did begin feeling for Art when he was expressing he was ready to retire. It just bothers her because SHE'S not ready to retire and she is playing through Art at that point cuz she cannot play herself, but that is her husband and the father of their child. If you think she has no love or care for him whatsoever that's absolutely insane....
And she did always love Patrick as well, which explains her having a affair with him multiple times. It's just Patrick isn't going to deal with her bullshit as easily as Art and he's more prone to fight back. Do you not see her expression when he storms out of her dorm room?? She was upset by him actually leaving her, which is what caused her to be off balance during her match that day. However, part of her blames Patrick for her injury because of their argument that day, even tho it's not his fault, it's just how our brains can cope with situations like that.
Tashi finds confidence and security in tennis, it's all she's known since her childhood. It's how she took care of her family, made a name for herself, her injury ruined that, so she worked with Art which allowed her to fill that void through him, but that does not equal she's a heartless woman who has no care for these two men who she obviously does have feelings for, your take is outrageous .
Art was exactly what she wanted, someone to boss around who would do anything for her. Patrick was what she needed, someone to challenge her and who wouldn’t be intimidated, but she couldn’t share power in a relationship like that.
Yep. Patrick and Tashi are both fire, and fire can’t fight with fire. Art being the ice means growth and cool.
She wouldnt have been happy with Patrick either he doesn't have real ambition or discipline.
gotta love it when a movie has main characters that are lowkey bad people but you still root for them
morally grey complex characters are so delicious
Patrick isn't even a bad person. I think him sleeping with Tashi while she was engaged to Art was just payback for sabotaging his relationship and abandoning him lol.
Art and Patrick were never bad people, Tashi yes because of the way she treated everybody not only them, sometimes i dont even know why Patrick and Art loved her so much.
YOU 🙈 but not anymore after season 4
team throuple forevah. they all needed each other in the end and luca said the movie ended with all of them in the hotel room so we won 😅 p.s.: there is no way art and Patrick didn't know they were kissing each other lol, patrick has his hand in art's neck, they wanted each other
kicking off pride month with the most bisexual movie we’ve had in a long time, love to see it 🩷💜💙
team throuple!!
Tashi is so happy because she jiust want to watch a good tennis match
the whole underwear talk at the beginning had me crying laughing 😭😭😭
Lmaooo yall already got me laughing the woahs when yall seen zendaya in her panties 😭😭😭
Aww it really did circle back to their first doubles match when they hugged on the court, that’s so cute. Also loved the churro scene, probably my favorite scene of theirs tbh
anyone who says tashi didn’t love either of them is dead wrong! yes she prioritized tennis but she did genuinely love the both of them, they function as one (currently toxic, optimistically healthy) trio unit
they all need each other, they egg each other on and motivate each other
I don't think she loved either. It was about Tennis and getting each of them fired up to play each other properly. She was the ball between the boys. Patrick always understood what she was doing and even baited her because he wanted Art to play him too. She got the guys to kiss and the end tennis match was her big O.
You can't love someone while you're cheating on them numerous times, degrading them, and threatening to leave them. *THAT'S ABUSIVE!*
@@xejelahhmmmmm no 🫶🏽
exactly
@@cutienerdgirl imo that’s a rather surface level read of a movie about a trio of incredibly complex people with somewhat toxic attachments to each other. for instance in the example you gave, i believe art in an unspoken way was pleading with tashi to say something that drastic, to apply that pressure because he thought it would be enough to motivate him.
in real life, definitely unhealthy, but with this movie i don’t believe you’re meant to walk away thinking that because a character did/said some shitty things, you should write them off as entirely bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they have they’re own understanding of one another
Aw happy birthday Bryce!! Thanks for picking this film!
I think Tashi going to college was more of a marketing scheme for her going professional, it's the more humble upbringing / approach a lot of athletes like to go for sometimes lol
totally, and patrick saw right through it, which she loved/hated
Patrick defender till the day I die…that man can do no wrong
exactlyyyyyy
yeah no fr he's the best
Patrick literally did no wrong! AND he saw right through Art and Tashi's BS. 😉
if he did no wrong Tashi and Art didn't either
Art is the sneak
Didn’t realize when she mentioned “homewreck” that she meant their friendship bc lowk they seem closer than best friends and she did quite literally come in between them
I thought that was obvious. What else did you think homewreck mean ? Haha
@@blueshoes5145 oh sorry guess Patrick belonged to her and only her lol he literally had a gf before meeting her ? Did you miss that part?
@@Itsezyyyy__i feel like that was probably just something art was saying to sort of “slander” patrick or make him seem unavailable to tashi, hence patrick responding to what art was saying as if it was a joke
@@jacobwest7852 makes sense
She didn't randomly came between them. They literally seek her out from the beginning, and invite her in between them
patrick loves art 🥺
this is probably one of my fav reactions. idk but i feel like patrick did the racket thingy at the end because he also wants to see art plays tennis with more passion (because you know art is beginning to lose interest and wants to retire). i'm team patrick, i know he's not a "great" person but at least he admits and owns it, that's why he said that to tashi in his car. tashi doesn't want patrick because they are too similar and she knows she can't control him. i think the three of them are perfect for each other and they need each other. and at the end why tashi was smiling because she just wants some good f*cking tennis lol. this movie is just so so good, i literally can rewatch it 100 times
i genuinely don’t believe art would view tashi sleeping with patrick as a betrayal. i think if it occurred to him that they could all be together they would be, but because they haven’t worked out how to be together healthily they all circle each other in this toxic way their whole lives.
ultimately they really have an unspoken understanding of one another and they accept that that’s their dynamic. you see this in the way patrick got excited that art was meddling (they both truly love tashi, and truly love each other but art hasn’t confronted how he feels for patrick so pursuing her simultaneously keeps them together). the way patrick knew signaling with the racket would piss art off and light a fire under him and help him win for real. the way tashi says she’ll leave him if he loses but only says that because she knows that’s what he’s asking for from her, to apply pressure to motivate him. and yes she did go see patrick intending to sleep with him, but she’s also panicked that with art’s confidence so low (because she’s built up his technique but patrick was what built up his passion and fire and his love for playing and he needs them both) she’s maybe gone too far or he might not actually be able to win but she doesn’t want to lose their marriage and asks patrick to let him win. the way patrick even says, “sleeping with me would be one thing, but asking me to throw it for him would kill him” he even knows art would be able to get over them being together (i mean he knew about atlanta and let it slide so he’d probably just be frustrated that they didn’t include him if anything) he wants her to pressure him, he’d just be crushed that she doubted him to that degree.
they all act in these crazy ways but it’s out of love and care and the adrenaline the three of them get from chasing each other and the thrill of the game.
put it to you this way, if tashi sat art down and said “i slept with someone else…” he’d be devastated. if she said “…it was patrick” i think he’d say “…okay, we can talk this out. what happened exactly? tell me everything, be specific” lol
Gahdamn finally someone in the CZcams comments understands these three and the movie!!! FUCK YESS that's exactly their deal! I'm just so happy the director Luca confirmed that after this tennis match they just "go back to the hotel" like how they were in the beginning. Love tha for hem, love that for me, everyone wins!!!
Really well said!
20:25 basically foreshadows the match 13 years later with them playing and her watching them
i love how each of the three of them fulfill something in the other two that they need. the answer really is just for them to stay together!!
Honestly they all wanted each other and Tasha just wanted to see some good tennis lol
I love that them playing that last match is mirroring the first kiss scene, when Tashi kiss them both and leave them to kiss each other while she just watch. They play the tennis, and she watch..but not before she “arrange” the tension between them.
They should have just been a throuple from the very beginning. I think that's what ended up happening at the end there. Although explaining that to the daughter would be hella messy 😬
Tashi didn't want to be a throuple at first, which is why all this drama started lol.
“Tom Holland!”
“He’s not in that one”
As a Mike Faist stan, y'all definitely should watch 2021's West Side Story as Mike's Riff was such a great performance! He truly should've been nominated for more awards. And although he isn't in the pro shot of Newsies, that's a fantastic show that was his broadway debut in 2012! Both are on disney+
“Is this in the 1900s? 2019” close enough 😂
Wow the fact Mike actually worked out so he can sweat profusely for the shot makes it look all the better lol, he’s also the athlete meanwhile Josh gets the water bc he actually had to train like Z to play decently haha
The soundtrack gave me so much anxiety the whole movie.
Happy Birthday, Bryce! 🎂
I love Patrick, too! I feel SO BAD for Patrick! He constantly saw through Art's and Tashi's facades yet they kept being miserable by not being real. *He KNEW that Art was going to try to sabotage his relationship with Tashi; He KNEW that Tashi was going to date Art because he would be her lapdog; He KNEW that Tashi simultaneously resented Art and wanted to vicariously play tennis through Art; He KNEW Art wanted to retire without even speaking to him for over a decade.* Patrick may be a sl*t, but he's ALWAYS honest.
They treated Patrick like a rodent infected with rabies, but he was the most sane out of all three of them! 🤦🏾♀️😕
Actually Josh O'Connor confirmed that Patrick is fire and Art is ice. It's also showed on the leaked scripts
Sure but nah they're right patrick and art switch roles of who's who's throughout the film.

Regardless, they both loved/love him very much and knowing that made them even more angry. They all love each other very much which I feel makes all the weird dynamics flesh out even better.
Back and forth like a tennis match... I LOVED every messy, complex, toxic, co-dependent minute of this movie! Nothing cookie cutter about it. Best film I've seen in the last few years! Everything was just brilliant!
The sponsorships in this movie are crazy it makes it seem almost real I mean, Nike and adidas is pretty sick, Dunkin and Chili’s are random but still cool lol
Patrick defender for life🫶🫶
Guadagnino is an amazing director. It’s insane you guys still haven’t done Call Me By Your Name.
we need call me by your name in pride month fr
fr fr
Good eye with the camera shots of the conversations going back and forth between two people, pretty cool. And that’s why I like watching this movie again to notice what I hadn’t before, as with other movies I love
this movie is so personal to me it’s kind of an embarrassing obsession at this point, this is the only channel i’ll watch react to it anyone else would be insufferable lmfao
chuuzus was pretty good! and channel name pending
chuuzus’ reaction to it was very enjoyable! I’d watch it & check it out
Chuuzu's Was very good I was laughing the entire time. But these guys made me laugh too tho and same this movie will be my personality for the rest of summer i fear it's a problem rn 😅
Happy birthday Bryce :) Thank you for picking this movie!!!!!!
My hype for this movie began once the Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor soundtrack announcement came out (you've got to watch The Social Network!!). I love how Whiplash-adjacent the last 10 mins were.
Happy belated and thanks, Bryce! Thanks, Rob! Thanks, Zuff! 🎾 Everything I've seen from director Luca Guadagnino, I've either deeply appreciated or absolutely loved.
Both Patrick and Tashi realized that, although they were better players naturally, Art's work ethic/willingness to learn from others could take him farther than Patrick, if he had the right motivation. Tashi realized it from the start, and was rooting for him to find enough passion to beat Patrick by offering her number to the winner. Patrick knew that Tashi did light a fire under Art, and so while he couldn't find it in himself to actually concede/not fight his hardest, because that would be a betrayal, he used the cheating as a provocation to draw Art into potentially beating him truly on his own merit (might Art have gotten himself there, after drawing out a commitment by Tashi to leave if he lost? very probably, but playing on Art's anger is a surer bet than playing on his desire, even for Tashi). Now they're both playing at their best skill levels, with what they want lighting the fire under them, and Art may not even want to retire any more after this. Meanwhile, Patrick pleased Tashi by giving her the best tennis she's ever seen, and the first time she's really gotten to be part of the match since her injury (obviously she was coaching Art, but he never got to this point on his own). Meanwhile, it gives him a good audition and future chances to get back in both their good graces.
But I'm definitely with Zuff that the daughter is conveniently aged for them all to have at least considered that she came from the Atlanta affair (whether or not that was the case).
tashi was so happy at the end because she just watched some good f***ing tennis
I kinda agree with Rob. It's surely a great movie and deserves tons of awards, but it's just something I won't really watch over and over since it's pretty much about people being amoral and toxic with one another. I would also equate it with watching a train wreck, yet you just can't look away. Love seeing reactions to this tho. Fascinating film for sure!
Happy Birthday Bryce!! I low-key think that Tashi had this planned a longtime ago, she's extremely competitive with everything but mostly the game and she wanted the guys to want her so of course they'd eventually start to envy each other. When she got so happy at the final match, you could see she was so into it, she really wanted to watch a great tennis match that resembled love.
Aye ‘99 babies unite. Happy birthday day Bryce!!🥳 (turning 25 next month so pretty cool)
Rob is so real for the anxiousness when watching uncut gems lmaoo I only saw it once when it came out five years ago and I still remember it. This however I enjoyed bc the ending was unpredictable and the execution was great
I saw this in theaters 5 times, 3 alone and the other 2 with my sisters and let me tell you!!! this film is top-tier, and I love how each character intertwines into each other. The whole fire and ice name between Patrick and Art depicts a lot about their characters; Art is more receptive or rather a dog to Tashi, and Patrick is that temptation in a way. Where Art lacks in skill, Patrick overpowers with his overconfident presence. Tashi in a way ties the two, because she has or had what they lack in each other. hence why she’s over joyous in the end; they finally came together and understood what the relationship aspect is in tennis.
like luca (the director) said: at the end all of them go back to the hotel room together
Let’s be honest this movie wasn’t really about tennis 😂
bryce just predicting the part at the end that made my jaw drop the most😭😭
The love the guys had for each other was stronger than their love for Tashi and Tashi love tennis more than anything. The guys slept on one bed in the hotel so Tashi knew there was some sexual tension between them. No secrets between them at the end hance the hug. One of the best films from 2024, all three gave extraordinary performances.
“I feel crazy right now” Yes zuff me too
I have really enjoyed Luca guadagino previous work but this one tops them all for me the direction was top tier I’m still unsure how they did some of those greenish match shots also every performance was on point from josh o corners cheeky charm in particular coming out also Mike feist I remember loving him in Spielberg’s west side story so Ik happy he’s getting more roles and zendaya was amazing as a success hungry coach who ultimately I think loved tennis more than both of them who knew tennis could be like a relationship loved the reaction also happy birthday Bryce hope you had an amazing one you deserve it 🎉🎉❤
The back and forth was wild! I wonder if the Fire & Ice thing was a misdirect, not one is fire and the other is ice, but that they each share both. Art is chill, but also has fiery anger, while Patrick is pretty cool and swauve, but with a fiery passion and extroverted personality. It definitely was a unique movie, I have no idea who I would cheer for. Oh yeah, and happy birthday Bryce!
Zuff casually sipping from his Stanley 😭
The reaction to Zendaya is honestly so real
25:12 the story is going back and forth like tennis 🙂🥎
The soundtrack of this movie is fire
they aren't fire and ice. they're spark and kindling and she's the fuel that keeps them going
current fav movie!!! so glad you guys are reacting to all my fav things. good bday pick bryce, HAPPY BDAYYY!!!!!!!
patrick zweig they could never make me hate you...
I’m so happy Mike Faist is finally getting recognition. He’s such a great actor
I saw an interview (after I watched the movie thank goodness) where Josh and Zendaya basically spoiled the whole movie trying to defend that Art was the true villain. I completely disagree. They're all not great people but Art is the least to blame imo.
I think they were trying to say that Art was the worst because he was never being his true authentic self. He never admitted that he was being a snake when they were teenagers and believes that he is a good person who always had good intentions. Do I think he is the worst? definitely not, but I think their point was that being someone else’s puppet/lap dog is worse than actually being yourself even when you are a horrible person (Tashi and Patrick) lol
i think art’s biggest fault is lacking a sense of self and being so insecure, and this fact paired with him being obsessed with patrick and tashi (probably because they’re so confident and secure of themselves) and feeling “left out” is what leads him to act wrongly. Not that i’m defending it, he’s kinda the biggest catalyst to why things go wrong
they all need each other! it doesn’t work with just two
My take was that at the end they all loved each other and that tennis was what brought them all together
Zendaya said she’s great at AIR tennis LMAOO, not actually tennis. Out of all of them, both Zendaya and Josh O’Connor (guy who plays Patrick), said that Mike Faist (Art) was the best out of the three but that’s cause he used to play tennis lmaoo. I loveddd that yall reacted to this movie, it was great in theaters
*I'M SCREAMING WITH JOY!* I really wanted y'all to react to Challengers because your reactions would be funny. 😂🤗
Great reaction. Oh man there was nothing like seeing at the cinema, omg. I've not been so invested, or forgetful of where I was then in that last 15 minutes. That slo-mo, that score, that ending. You had to be there. Oof.
The more I sit on this movie the more I love it
I’m so glad we get to see you guys react to this 🙏
This was so good. Also, very unique! You don’t see too many movies where three actors are the only actors in every scene.
Art is the villain. Him and Patrick always share things, even when Patrick is doing most of the work like the first game. He didn’t mind because that arrangement works for the both of them. Remember when Art asked Patrick to lose the game and he didn’t mind. Until real stakes, where they can’t “share” like a date with Tashi was on the line, you can see during their first game against each other, how incapable Art really is by himself. When he got with Tashi, only because Patrick lost her, he became better at tennis with Tashi help still, not by himself. Tashi loves but resents him for being a loser. Patrick loves him despite being a loser. Art is a selfish loser who wants more than he is capable of earning by himself. If they all accepted this sooner, they would work perfectly as a throuple… but it got delayed because of the selfish loser.
Happy early birthday Bryce!!! This movie is so crazy 😭
saw this movie in theaters 3x and loved it even more each time.
Yea it’s usually in the hair that makes em young and wild lmao, but at least they didn’t put glasses on em plus zendaya will realistically still look the same at 31 let’s be real so the hair being short is kinda accurate and a slay. Loving her blonde hair on press as well, she quite literally serving looks lol
I dunno if you guys saw Past Lives when it came out, but it was written and directed by Celine Song, who is married to the guy who wrote Challengers, and both movies are about complicated love triangle type relationships 👀 Worth checking out for that reason alone, but even without that, still a really great movie in its own right (completely different tone tho)
yesss I've been waiting for this!!!!!! this is like my fav movie this year
Bryce picking it as a bday movie is honestly great, I love this movie. Bizarre soundtrack but still pretty great
I loved the soundtrack! Trent Reznor has made some of my favorites, including Gone Girl.
@@lisasu7094 I liked maybe two songs, one included in the trailer and the music that played when art started dominating the court at the end
Happy belated birthday, Bryce!!! Excited to watch this reaction! I haven't watched the movie yet.
yesss challengers, hope you love it 🫶🏽
happy birthday bryce!! i also love patrick aahhh
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE THANK YOU GUYS ILY
Tashi’s also the ball going back and forth between Patrick and art
lmao @ the simultaneous blinks between bryce and rob 🤣😭
Rob’s Paul Mescal shirt LOLLL hes so real
12:20 "they seem to be very good friends" energy
i love this movie so much and i have watched it a bunch of times too no matter what it does to my nervous system lmao
josh o’connor and luca guadagnino have said in an interview how these characters are trying to find their way to each other and chasing something akin to what the three of them had in that hotel room, and they do it in the worst way possible until the very end of the movie where they finally come together. it makes sense that art is the only character who we don’t see doing that since he’s so repressed and doesn’t really do anything he wants. actually, i believe it’s intentional that the only time he speaks for himself is when he tells tashi he wants to retire, on the same day he has that conversation with patrick in the sauna. and in the end, he’s “lit up” about patrick and tashi again and is able to play with passion.
anyway: team throuple!
Art is so fucking hot !
Literally been anticipating this for the past seven months before it came out as well esp with the strike and everything but happy I got to see it in theaters for it was a great cinematic experience and I’m happy you guys reacted to it, 8.5/9 stars for me tbh
I don't know how you guys take suggestions but another film that will make you guys feel this way is Shiva Baby. Please check it out 🙏
Patrick’s arm bruises are from his argument the night before with Tashi when she grabbed his arm in the car. A pro tennis player couldn’t be on recreational drugs. They get tested all the time for PEDs and all fun drugs are banned too.
Happy birthday Bryce 🎉i wish you all the best that world can give
oh! in the original script, patrick and art are explicity described as fire and ice respectively. tashi even tells patrick that all fire does is burn down shit, and that you can build something out of ice. it's also mentioned that tashi is the mix between fire and ice. which i feel describes them and their dynamic beautifully, but i understand that for the actual movie script that would be a little too on the nose
Happy birthday Bryce!
ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO SEE GOOD TENNIS
