🎙️ Podcast Stew: Rob Reiner’s Film Legacy, a Wild Boxing Weekend & a Spoiler-Free Take on AVATAR: FIRE & ASH!

Send us a text In a rare solo episode after ten straight guest interviews, Joe Curdy returns to the mic solo with a full-on Podcast Stew — a wide-ranging, unfiltered mix of film reflection, pop-culture spectacle, and spoiler-free criticism. The episode opens with reflections on Rob Reiner and his enduring film legacy, using his body of work as a reminder of how cinema can shape memory, comfort, and cultural conversation. From there, the discussion pivots sharply — and unapologetically — to a reaction to a headline-grabbing boxing weekend, breaking down the spectacle, stakes, and shock value of influencer-era fights colliding with real knockout power. The episode ultimately circles back to the movies, with a spoiler-free deep dive into  James Cameron’s AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, including a full reading of Joe’s Letterboxd review and thoughts on where Cameron’s evolving Avatar saga stands within modern blockbuster filmmaking. Loose by design but thoughtful throughout, this Podcast Stew captures the energy of a critic thinking out loud — where legacy, spectacle, and cinema all end up in the same bowl.
