In this episode, Bo and Caitlin talk about The Dark Knight, the Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movie that set 12-year-old Timmy on the path to acting greatness. He’s not in the film, but he loves Heath Ledger’s Joker enough that we decided to record an episode on it.

In this episode, Caitlin talks with Eleanor about Hot Summer Nights, the 2017 indie film about a young man who gets in over his head dealing drugs in Cape Cod in 1991. We dig a lot more into how the movie came to be than Timmy’s acting, but we hope you enjoy what we have to say all the same.

And now that we've finished talking about all of Timmy's movies to date (no we're not counting short films or Homeland or Loving Leah), the second half of this season (until Dune: Part Three of course) will cover films Timothée loves, rather than films he's in.

In this episode Caitlin talks with Kami and Nicole about Miss Stevens, the 2016 indie film starring Lily Rabe, Timothée Chalamet, and Lili Reinhart of Riverdale fame. It’s a movie about a young teacher who chaperones a few high schoolers on a drama trip that spawned Timmy’s viral Death of a Salesman monologue, rivaled only by his off-Broadway performance in Prodigal Son.

Note: We did have some recording issues, so you'll hear a little more cross-talk than usual, and a few pops here and there (apologies).

In this episode, Caitlin talks with Erin and Ozzie about A Rainy Day in New York, the 2019 Woody Allen rom-com starring Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Selena Gomez, Jude Law, and more. We do discuss the problem of Woody Allen in the context of this movie, but also delve into film and character analysis outside of that. And we wander a bit into yapping about the new Dune trailer, Project Hail Mary, Antz, and even our own films, so consider yourself warned.

In this episode, Caitlin and Kourtney discuss One & Two, a 2015 film starring Timothée Chalamet and Kiernan Shipka as teenage siblings with superpowers living in isolation. Although we agree this movie leaves a lot to be desired, comparisons are made to Bones & All as well as M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village, starring Joaquin Phoenix, who Timmy once called “the weird GOAT” when listing his favorite actors of all time.

Watch the movie for FREE on the Roku Channel, Plex, or Philo (likely for a limited time), or stream it on Prime.

Season 3 of the Timothée Chalamet Podcast has begun! In this episode, Caitlin talks with film director, producer, screenwriter and former journalist Dana Nachman about her new proof-of-concept short film, "Writing for Timothée," which enters the festival circuit this weekend (on either side of the Oscars, of course)!

If you're an aspiring filmmaker and/or Timmy aficionado, this episode is for you. Heck, if you're a hater, this episode might be for you, too—come see for yourself what all the fuss is about.

In our season 2 finale, Caitlin talks with Grace and Colette about 2025's Marty Supreme, Timmy's fourth A24 film and a fast-paced pseudo-biopic about a ping pong player's quest for greatness, directed by Josh Safdie.

This is Timmy's Oscar buzziest role yet, so be sure to see the movie in theaters ASAP if you haven't already.

NOTE: Some of the recorded audio was a little crackly so we had to forgo background noise reduction to preserve what was said.
