Welcome to Season 3, Episode 3 of The Fixate & Binge Podcast!


This week's episode, I was honored to have Harry Marks of Lobby Intros drop by to discuss his recent viral TikTok review of Robert Eggers' NOSFERATU -- which has received (to date) over 1-million views!

Harry also offers his insight on why classic cinema matters, where to get started for anyone hoping to start broadening their cinematic understanding with classic films from the past, and the worrying trend of so many incurious film students today are overlooking what made cinema so great.

You can access Harry's content in a variety of ways -- from his classic cinema introductions available on his YouTube Channel (and also available on the free-to-stream app Mometu), as well as his Instagram HERE -- and especially on his TikTok account available HERE.

Welcome to 2025 and a brand new year of The Fixate & Binge Podcast!

In this episode, Netflix's new hit show -- AMERICAN PRIMEVAL -- is reviewed, but the question lingers: was there a better, more factually based story to be told from the Territory of Utah in the mid-19th century? Joe weighs in with some Mormon history...

Joe also addresses news that streaming giants like Netflix are actively adjusting their content in the writing room to accommodate distracted subscribers who use their cell phones while watching content streaming on their platforms. Will this shift in content end the Golden Age of Television?

Plus, The Fixate & BInge Podcast shares its' Letterboxd review of EMILIA PERÉZ -- the surprising winner of Best Picture in a Musical or Comedy at the 82nd Golden Globes -- an awards precursor to the Oscars. 

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you're as excited as I am about the new year which is sure to bring its share of incredible television and cinema moments to celebrate and discuss on this podcast! Stay tuned!
