On this episode of Static & Dust, we sit down with filmmaker and actor Joseph Poliquin, also known from Five Nights at Freddy’s, for a conversation full of the kind of behind-the-scenes chaos you truly cannot invent. From Tom Hanks giving him a nickname to bizarre Hollywood moments that sound like they came out of a lost screenplay, Joseph has stories. We get into the weirdness of the business, the awkwardness, the ego, the hustle, and one especially sharp encounter with Stephen Graham that brings just the right amount of bite. And yes, we had to bring up Mr. Cupcake. Any actor who survives the world of Five Nights at Freddy’s and still comes out funny and self-aware is doing something right. We also roll into Skate to Hell, starring Joseph, because a title like that was never getting past Static & Dust without a discussion. It is exactly the kind of cult-title madness we love. Under all the insanity, this episode is really about film, the chaos of the industry, genre storytelling, and taking your shot before it passes you by. We also talk about Joseph’s upcoming project, Death Cabs, a thriller-comedy set for 2027. Watch the full episode at the link in bio.
