Welcome back to the club!

HEADS UP: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS.

On this week's episode of Idle Film Club, we discuss one of the most talked about films of the year so far, Challengers. We take a look into the sweat-drenched world of tennis, throuples and twinky boys.

The quiz is back after a two weeks hiatus - tune in to find out if you know more than Geo about movie love triangles and our thoughts on Luca Guadagnino's intoxicating sports romp.
