Paul Moder is an Australian filmmaker, author, and entertainment industry veteran with over 35 years of experience. A graduate of Swinburne Institute’s School of Film & Television (Bachelor of Arts), Paul is a writer, producer, director, singer, and actor. He produced the multi-award-winning feature film Razor Eaters through Hybrid Films Australia and later ran the acclaimed Bohemia Cabaret Club, where he created and performed cabaret, burlesque, and live theatre productions. Paul is also the writer of the upcoming feature film WASP – The Port Arthur Massacre, based on the Port Arthur Massacre, and producer of the horror film Stricken. In addition to his film career, he is the author of three novels and a licensed pyrotechnician.

In this powerful episode, Paul Moder breaks down the Bondi Beach terrorist attack in Sydney, Australia, where two alleged gunmen opened fire during a Hanukkah celebration in December 2025, killing at least 15 and wounding dozens in what authorities have labeled an antisemitic terrorist mass shooting that shocked the nation and raised urgent questions about gun rights and public safety. Paul explores the idea that lax government policies may have inadvertently enabled the tragedy, critiques the push for stricter gun control legislation in its aftermath, and argues the incident could be perceived by some as being used to justify expanded authority — touching on themes of government overreach, tyranny, and national unity.
