The Nate & Curtis Show

The entertainment industry just keeps changing! We talk A.I., experimentation as a creative, and whether or not Nate could survive being in the most silent room in the world. We also discuss how important sound is to a project and the terrifying prospect that the canned food in Nate’s cupboards might be getting cooked by the sun.

Nate and Curtis take some time remembering some of the weirder things that have happened to them over the course of their careers… until they get distracted and go off on a tangent.

But then they get back on track and we learn that Nate should really pay attention to his DM’s if he wants to make some money.

Another industry heavy episode where we talk about residuals, T.V. history, and share some fun casting stories. We also learn that Nate and Curtis aren’t very quick to Google anything and that leads to an embarrassing insert from future Curtis.

The references are obscure and the boys recount tales of near-death related to eating (or trying to eat) candy. It really shouldn’t be that dangerous. Then they get on track with the actual bullet points of the show including the decline of social media with the youth and the lack of studio investment in smaller projects. We recorded this October 22, 2025. Not much has changed in the last 6 months.

What a great conversation with actor and writer Paul Meyd. He understood the assignment and hopped right into the conversation. We’re talking about the business, Chuck E. Cheese vs. Showbiz Pizza, and competitive video gaming. Oh, and Nate was having some internet troubles, but you probably won’t notice. Probably.
