Movie Preview: Chalamet, Paltrow, Drescher and Ping Pong? “Marty Supreme”

This Christmas release by A24 had me straining to see if Pete Davidson and/or Adam Sandler were lower in the credits.

Because any movie, directed by Josh Safdie, built around Timothee Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow and Fran Drescher has GOT to have more “widely hated actors” than just those three.

Maybe “resented” is the better word. Listening to people hiss Paltrow’s appearances in the “Iron Man” movies, and getting a whiff of the entitled/insufferable blowback Chalamet inspires points to that.

And Drescher remade herself as a SAG president with some nerve, after all.

Not a big Safdie/Bronstein (“Uncut Gems” ) fan, to be honest.

But if ping pong makes a comeback, you’ll know where that came from.
