You can tell they really liked this movie because they’re talking over each other 😂
I love y’all very much but pls let Garrick talk 😭😭
The SOUNDTRACK to this movie had me feeling like I could run a marathon
Tashi mentions on the night they all kiss that Art should beat Patrick, implying he’s the better player. But Art doesn’t have the confidence like Patrick does.
Not to have a “um actually 🤓☝🏻” moment but the casting was fully thought of way in advance and no one else was considered (not Jacob, Dominic Fike, & whoever else) which was just a rumor that spread online. I wish I could remember which interview I read it from but Zendaya said that she actually had watched The Crown & was like “Yo this guy is so good he would be perfect” and Luca had him in mind as well in a weird coincidence. Not too sure about how Mike was casted but I think Luca also had watched his projects & thought he’d be perfect for Art. I kinda hate that the internet ran with the “omg Jacob Elordi, Austin Butler, etc. were considered??” story bc the whole production of the movie was super meticulously planned way ahead and the only big name brought in was Zendaya. (Trying to keep this short is impossible lol) but also, Zendaya was the very first person to be reached out for the Tashi role & she actually selected (I’m pretty sure) Luca to direct as well. So overall, she was a producer through and through and helped bring this to life (along with everyone else ofc).
I don’t know if y’all noticed this, or if it was even done intentionally, but when Tashi goes to meet Patrick before the New Rochelle Challenger and they hook up she puts on a big white t-shirt, which looks a lot like the shirt she threw on after her fight/break up with Patrick. And if I remember correctly that shirt is originally Patrick’s. I think they both kept each other’s shirts for like 13 years or however long it’s been. To me that felt so significant and feel like I haven’t seen anyone talk about it.
Yall NEED to watch ‘The Idea of You’ with Anne Hathaway and the guy from red white and royal blue!
The “I told ya” t shirt is $400 because it’s Loewe. Their creative director, JW Anderson, designed the costumes for the film. The boys will all be wearing Loewe for the meta gala tonight. Hire me as the fashion correspondent for guilty pleasures pls 😆
I think Tashi already had a strong inkling about the attraction between Art and Patrick during the party and beach scene. She came over to their room with the intention to push them over the edge and cross the line and confirm to herself what she’s suspected all along.
I’m with the boys, the glass floor shot was SO GOOD
Patrick is canonically Bisexual they showed him swiping through tinder and it was men and women

the absolute love for film and how they’re made and the appreciation that they show and talk about is so satisfying to me. it’s not just about the plot and the actors but the look and the feel
Kelsey’s absolutely right , all their problems would have been solved if they just lived happily together as a throuple 😭
the amount of people who think art and patrick aren't in love with each other shows the lack of homoerotic male friendships that end sort of awkwardly in hollywood
zach talks about movies like keith talks about food
I loved this movie, but, as someone who doesn’t really watch sports, I couldn’t understand about how good of a “sports movie” it was. However, Garrick bringing up Kobe and Michael Jordan’s stories really made me understand the characters motivations and the plot even more in the context of competitive sports. It made me appreciate the movie even more!
it’s just crazy bc this movie has two actors that i’ve been following since my childhood and adolescence-zendaya, since shake it up, and mike faist, since he was on broadway with newsies. my mind is blown that we even HAVE a film with a cast like this that i thought could only ever exist in my mind.
you guys would love watching the trent reznor and atticus ross video that came out recently where they talked about how one of the only notes luca gave them for writing the score was to make everything as homoerotic as possible 😭
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross simply cannot compose a bad soundtrack. It’s impossible
