Marty Supreme is basically a startup movie disguised as ping-pong

Some films treat technology like a prop: a glowing screen, a hacker hoodie, a “we’re in” line that makes every engineer in the theater inhale sharply through their teeth.

Marty Supreme does something smarter: it treats ambition the way the tech world actually experiences it—obsessive, iterative, occasionally ridiculous, and weirdly beautiful. The result is a dark, electric sports comedy-drama (set in a stylized 1950s New York) about Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet) going “to hell and back” in pursuit of greatness. Decider+1

And if you build products for a living, it lands like a perfectly disguised serve: you don’t see the spin until it’s already past you.
