Our interview with Alex Russell is certified fresh. Alex—our old pal whose new movie Lurker is out now—flew in from LA to hit the stu and talk where he subtly displays his Emmy and Golden Globe, movie anachronisms, hypothetical outfits he should've worn on TF, torturing yourself as stunt journalism from back in our Complex days, tapping in with the MCU to support the homies, boundaries are good for first time indie filmmakers, crying to music is easier than crying to movies, the absolute charmed time he and the cast had on set, watching Entourage to prepare you for Sundance, music journalism is actually the impossible dream, critics seeing themselves in your movie is good for business, the cinematic aspirations of all TV writers LA's clout chasing economy, competition with his peers, the niche IP he wants to work with, casting and riffing with his boy Zack Fox, Letterboxd culture might be good, stop eating full ass meals at the movies, his go-to theater snack order, what actors he'd like to work with next, red carpet fits, watching Game of Thrones for the first time, The Bear vs. Beef vs. Dave's writer's rooms, peeping his bosses' dick pics, the Wasian Mount Rushmore, and much more on Alex Russell's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.


In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
