End Credits Show Notes for Wednesday January 7, 2026 (Episode #423)

This week on End Credits, we’re back with the first new episode of 2026 and what might be the best movie of 2025…? We will dig into Marty Supreme, which you can now see in a theatre near you, and we will let you know if it matches the hype, and we’re also going to go into the vault and talk about another acclaimed film that has perhaps even gotten better with time.

This Wednesday, January 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:

Heat at 30. Somewhere in Hollywood, Michael Mann is toiling on a sequel to what might be his masterpiece: Heat. The crime thriller was notable for many reasons, not the least of which was the first on-screen face-off between Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as career criminal Neil McCauley and LAPD Lieutenant Vincent Hanna respectively. So three decades later, how does Heat hold up and, frankly, do we even need a sequel?

REVIEW: Marty Supreme (2025). In the competitive world of table tennis in the 1950s, no one is more competitive than Marty Mauser. From director Josh Safdie, and starring the man of the moment Timothée Chalamet, Marty Supreme has the urgency of the Safdies past efforts like Uncut Gems, while having the underdog qualities of all great sports dramas and also being centered around a character whose own self-determination borders on reckless and self-destructive. So is Marty Supreme the movie of our times, and is Timmy finally achieved the greatness he’s striving for?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
