In this episode, Caitlin talks with LA poet Grant Chemidlin about Call Me By Your Name, the 2017 Luca Guadagnino film based on the 2007 novel by André Aciman. Timothée received his first Oscar nomination for his role as Elio Perlman in this coming of age love story set in the Italian countryside of 1983. So many people love the film (and the book) that we're talking about it again next week in a bonus episode with new and returning guests!

Welcome to Season 2 of The Timothée Chalamet Podcast.

In this episode, Caitlin and Stefanie discuss Timmy’s career highlights and everything else 2025 has had to offer us fans: the new CashApp commercial (in conversation with his older Chanel and Cadillac ads), his Superbowl interview with Kendrick Lamar, his impending star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, all those Knicks games outfits, and even, briefly, Kylie Jenner.

We also tell you our top four Timmy films, what’s coming up this season, and when Marty Supreme’s coming out.

NOTE: When discussing the Cash App ad, I mistakenly attributed direction of the film to Elijah Bynum. Bynum wrote the script, and Timmy's photographer friend Aidan Zamiri directed (https://cash.app/press/timothee-chalamet-for-cash-app).

In this episode, Caitlin, Bo, and Sean discuss Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014), which won a Saturn Award for Best Sci-Fi Film, plus a BAFTA and an Oscar for visual effects. Timothée plays young Tom, son of Matthew McConaughey's pilot turned farmer turned inter-dimensional astronaut.
