    This week on The Fixate & BInge Podcast, host Joe Curdy wrestles with a question many entertainment shows avoid: should a movie podcast stay an escape from the real world — or acknowledge the world we’re living in?
    In a solo episode, Joe reflects on the idea of keeping the podcast a “safe haven” for film and television lovers while also feeling the responsibility to speak about current events and their cultural impact. Against the backdrop of rising global tensions — including a brief look at the complicated history between the United States and Iran — Joe considers how art, storytelling, and cinema help us process uncertain times.
    The episode also includes an inspiring excerpt from a eulogy delivered by Barack Obama honoring civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, reminding listeners why hope and perspective still matter.
    Plus, Joe dives into several new releases and recommendations:
    Review: WAR MACHINE starring Alan Ritchson (Netflix)
    Review: Brazil’s Oscar-nominated THE SECRET AGENT (Hulu)
    Recommendation: FACKHAM HALL (HBO)
    Recommendation: NUREMBERG starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek (Netflix)
    It’s an honest conversation about movies, culture, and the role entertainment plays when the world outside the theater feels uncertain.

    On this episode of The Fixate & Binge Podcast, I sit down with Emmy-winning filmmaker Jethro Waters to explore his audacious new indie film, GUNFIGHTER PARADISE. We dive into the film’s daring exploration of faith, madness, and the dark side of patriotism, unpacking how religion, politics, and American myth shape its story and characters.
    Rooted deeply in southern culture and informed by Waters’ own lived experiences, the film reflects on the worrying directions such cultural leanings may take. Featuring acclaimed actress Jessica Hecht (SEINFELD, BREAKING BAD), who brings depth to its enigmatic characters, GUNFIGHTER PARADISE is a surreal, provocative journey through morality, identity, and the American psyche.

    "Horror with a Heartbeat: The Adams Family on MOTHER OF FLIES, Shudder, and Surviving Cancer"

    In this deeply moving episode of The Fixate & Binge Podcast, Joe Curdy sits down with filmmakers Toby Poser, John Adams — the creative force collectively known as the Adams Family — to discuss their haunting folk-horror film MOTHER OF FLIES, streaming on Shudder (via AMC+).
    Filmed in the misty isolation of New York’s Catskill Mountains, MOTHER OF FLIES evokes an ancient, folk-horror sensibility rooted in landscape, ritual, and psychological unease. But what emerges in conversation is something even more powerful. Toby and John speak candidly about surviving cancer — and how that battle with mortality has shaped not only this film, but their body of work as a whole.
    The film’s meditation on death, resilience, and transformation isn’t abstract — it’s personal. Joe and the Adams Family explore how horror can serve as both confrontation and catharsis, how independent filmmaking becomes an act of survival, and why facing darkness on screen can illuminate what matters most in life.
    A conversation about art, family, fear — and the heartbeat that continues beneath it all.

    He’s back — and he’s not slowing down.
    With over 200 IMDb credits, a growing YouTube presence, and a real-life stonework business that literally keeps him grounded, Mike Ferguson is redefining what it means to be a modern working actor.
    In this episode, Mike returns to discuss his latest film, BLACKOUT — an apocalyptic story set in a a rapidly devolving Los Angeles, where survival isn’t guaranteed. But off-screen, Mike’s career mirrors that same intensity. No safety net. No waiting around. Just momentum.
    We talk about balancing independent film with blue-collar craftsmanship, building an audience on YouTube, staying mentally sharp in an industry that chews people up, and why discipline — not luck — is the real currency in Hollywood.
    This isn’t just a conversation about acting. It’s about durability. Reinvention. And the mindset required to keep building when most people would burn out.
