To commemorate Shakespeare's 461st Birthday, I am very happy to bring on to the Fixate & Binge Podcast, HANNAH YOUNG, a native of Stratford-on-Avon, the home of Shakespeare. Hannah is a classically trained actress who has performed extensively with the Royal Shakespeare Company over several seasons in her career. She features as Lady Macbeth in Cheek by Jowl’s film ‘Acting’ which is premiered this weekend in London’s The Barbican Centre, and has also worked at the National Studio in London and in several West End productions.
In this episode, Hannah shares her first experiences with Shakespeare, growing up in Stratford-on-Avon, recounting her work on the stage with stage and screen legends. She illuminates how she approaches her characters, and uses the text itself to explore clues and ideas about her portrayals for audiences.
If you're a casual fan of Shakespeare, a budding academic, a Bardolater, or terrified of experiencing Shakespeare for the first time -- this is the perfect podcast to hear from Hannah on how best to approach the immortal Bard.
In this podcast, I also provide a spoiler-free review of Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza's film WARFARE -- currently in theaters and well-worth the price of admission to experience on the big screen!

Welcome back to this week's episode of The Fixate & Binge Podcast!
In this episode, I offer my defense of why binging is sometimes the BEST way to experience a show and there is no better opportunity than now to fully enjoy HBO MAX's runaway medical drama hit -- THE PITT starring ER's Noah Wylie.
Trust me -- there is simply no better way to fully immerse yourself in one of the finest shows of 2025 than to binge it all in as little time as possible, and right now all episodes are available!
I also share my reasons why not all remakes of beloved films are negative -- and profess my nearly 20-years love of my favorite band from Glasgow, Scotland, Mogwai, with their new documentary -- MOGWAI: IF THE STARS HAD A SOUND which is highly recommended to anyone who loves post-rock, instrumental music.

Welcome Back to this week's episode of the Fixate & Binge Podcast.
In this episode, I explain the tremendously unfortunate podcast recording that was lost like tears in the rain due to faulty recording software that failed me at the worst possible moment.
Still, there is much to love (I hope) in this week's episode where I review the latest horror flick, HELL OF A SUMMER, which was an underwhelming viewing experience.
I also discuss two new shows with episodes that are entirely available to stream and binge to your heart's content; Amazon Prime's THE BONDSMAN, starring Kevin Bacon and MGM+'s NINE BODIES IN A MEXICAN MORGUE, starring Eric McCormack.
With plenty to stream in the comfort of your own home, tune in to hear spoiler-free recommendations!

Your time is money and watching commercials at the cinema for up to 30-minutes before your movie begins is incentivizing theatergoers to opt to stay home, avoid the ads, and just get on with their viewing experience!
Cinema chains need to meet their patrons halfway -- and back Connecticut State Senator Martin Looney's proposed bill no. 797 to being a national law that requires theater chains to advertise the actual time the films start irrespective of the commercials and trailers that run for up to 30-minutes prior to the film's start time.
Plus, I discuss the films ASH and THE WOMAN IN THE YARD, currently in the cinema and worth viewing.
Last but not least, I am pleased to announce the arrival of a comedy gem: Apple TV's THE STUDIO starring Seth Rogan!

Welcome back to the Fixate & Binge Podcast -- in this latest episode, Joe discusses the ugly campaign picking up steam with the casting announcements for HBO's new Harry Potter series and discusses (with examples) why this is hypocrisy of the highest order and a huge step back towards tolerance and equality.
Joe also discusses two new films -- one of which is streaming now on Netflix: THE ELECTRIC STATE starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt that seems like an enormous waste of Netflix subscription money being flushed down the toilet.
The other, is a reminder that the spy thriller subgenera is still very much alive in Steven Soderbergh's BLACK BAG starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett, a flawless film of espionage and intrigue rarely captured this well in cinema. In cinemas now, don't miss it!

Welcome back to our 8th episode of 2025!
It's been delayed almost an entire year, but it's finally here -- Bong Joon-ho's MICKEY 17 -- the first great film of 2025!

Well, that's a wrap on the 97th Academy Awards for 2025 -- and boy did my predictions from the previous episode humble me!
Tune in to hear what I got wrong and why -- and what surprised this year more than previous years.
Also discussed -- Letterboxd reviews for Netflix's short, political series ZERO DAY, starring Robert De Niro, and Osgood Perkins' latest horror film currently in cinemas THE MONKEY.
I also bid -- perhaps for good -- farewell after more than 40 years of love to the James Bond franchise as it's finally been wrested from the hands of the Broccoli family with Amazon's latest coup.
What a shame.
Now, the James Bond franchise will no longer go forward the way Ian Fleming, Harry Saltzman, Albert R. Broccoli and the Broccoli children Michael G. Wilson and Barbara never intended -- with decisions to be made via committee as the IP of James Bond becomes commodified. It will never be the same.

On Sunday, March 2, 2025, the 97th Academy Awards broadcast will anoint its winners in esteemed categories that have been coveted for nearly 100 years by producers, actors, screenwriters and directors since Tinseltown first conceived of the awards ceremony.
Viewed from around the world by a growing cinematic community, countless critics, bloggers and podcasters have made their predictions.
The Fixate & Binge Podcast is making theirs -- and for the major categories, you will not want to miss this special episode. Will I get it wrong? Is there an upset brewing on March 2nd that will be talked about for years to come?
Tune in to hear my best guess why I've made my choices and feel free to give me a "I toldya so" response for the ones I got wrong!
Additionally, I also (finally) list the best films of 2024 -- a delay that I offer an explanation for, and one that will likely require 2025's Best Film list to be explained in early 2026, and so on!
