In this episode, host BlackJadedWolf sits down with Morgan Jon Fox, an Emmy-nominated writer, director, and producer whose work has made a lasting impact across documentary and independent cinema.
Morgan is best known for directing The Hobby, a groundbreaking feature documentary that explores the explosive growth of the global trading card market and the deeply personal stories behind the collectors, dealers, and families who define the culture. The film debuted as the #1 documentary on Apple TV and earned an Emmy nomination.
In this conversation, Morgan reflects on his early life in Memphis, his journey into storytelling, and how decades of experience across narrative films, documentaries, and episodic work shaped his approach to character-driven stories. He discusses what drew him to the sports card world, why The Hobby resonated so strongly with audiences, and how nostalgia, money, identity, and family intersect in the modern collectibles boom.
The episode goes beyond the market itself. Morgan also shares insight into the responsibility of documentary storytelling, earning trust with real people, and why authenticity is the most valuable currency a filmmaker can have.
Whether you’re a collector, investor, filmmaker, or simply a fan of powerful human stories, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how culture is captured on screen and why some stories matter more than numbers.
