A24, a leading force in the film industry, has ventured into television with their latest show, The Curse. Already gaining viral attention is a chilling clip from Episode 1 featuring Nathan Fielder.
The show can be streamed on Showtime and Paramount+. The official synopsis for The Curse revolves around Whitney and Asher Siegel, a newly married couple facing challenges as they try to bring their eco-conscious housing vision to the tight-knit community of Española, New Mexico. However, their journey takes a twist when Dougie, a peculiar and flawed reality TV producer, recognizes the potential in their unique story.
The Curse, created by Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie, is gaining attention with its unique and unconventional style of storytelling.
“Chilling” Nathan Fielder clip from The Curse goes viral
During a fictional interview scene, Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone’s characters Whitney and Asher have created a “chilling” clip that has since gone viral on social media.
“We’re here to talk about us today, okay?” Asher can be heard saying before questioning the interviewer on her parents’ background.
"How would you feel if I asked you about your father and continuously delved deeper into that topic?" he continues, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. "I won't actually do it, but it serves a purpose. You are not him, correct? You are your own individual. You're intelligent, beautiful, and independent. And we, the Siegels, are also unique individuals. We are not slumlords. So let's discuss ourselves, shall we?"
Asher then snaps his fingers in the interviewer's face and asserts, "Look at me when I'm speaking to you, alright? Don't focus on her; I am the one talking, so your attention should be on me. Ignoring my presence gives the impression that you are not listening or comprehending my words. It's simply a matter of common courtesy."
Nathan Fielder's character seamlessly proceeds with the interview, completely unfazed, while Whitney observes with a vacant expression.
"OMG, Nathan Fielder is amazing!" exclaimed one fan on X/Twitter, attaching The Curse clip. Another viewer chimed in, saying, "Nathan Fielder's performance on The Curse is absolutely chilling."
One user expresses their admiration for Nathan, while also acknowledging Emma Stone's incredible performance despite saying very little. Another user mentions how they were so captivated by the scene that they had to watch it from the doorway. Referring to Jesse Eisenberg's infamous interview in 2013, another fan states that the content gives off similar vibes, which they love.

Editor's P/S
Nathan Fielder's viral clip from The Curse has left me both intrigued and unsettled. The scene, which features Fielder and Emma Stone's characters engaged in a tense interview, is both hilarious and unnerving. Fielder's deadpan delivery and Stone's increasingly uncomfortable reactions create a truly unforgettable moment.
I'm a big fan of Nathan Fielder's work, and I think he's one of the most innovative comedians working today. His unique brand of humor is on full display in The Curse, and I can't wait to see what else he has in store for us.
