Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato stop by to talk with Kyle Meredith about their latest HBO Max documentary Murder In Glitterball City, a true-crime story that hits especially close to home since it was shot in Louisville, just blocks from where Kyle’s sitting.

Maia Mitchell and Susie Porter join Kyle Meredith to talk about Season 2 of The Artful Dodger, the Hulu and Disney+ series that finds Lady Bell and Lady Jane in much heavier territory.

Actress Haley Lu Richardson sits down with Kyle Meredith to unpack the brilliantly bonkers ride that is Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, the first film in a decade from director Gore Verbinski, and one she admits she devoured in a single sitting. Richardson gets into how the script landed in her lap, why Ingrid instantly clicked as a character, and what it’s like anchoring a movie she calls everything-but-the-kitchen-sink genre-wise (Verbinski’s own term: “psychotic opera”). She also shares

Kyle Meredith catches up with David Thewlis and Thomas Brodie-Sangster to talk Season 2 of Hulu’s The Artful Dodger. Thewlis points to Fagin’s new status (wealthier, unhingier, and no longer Dodger’s underling) and the arrival of Inspector Boxer — a “bad guy” who’s inconveniently ethical, educated, and annoyingly handsome. Brodie-Sangster says they’re basically done worrying about Dickens now (“our source material becomes season one”), talks about having to “find the voice again” after the break,

Maynard James Keenan digs into the fifth Puscifer album Normal Isn't, unpacking how the record functions as a kind of cultural status report—part political frustration, part tech anxiety, part dark humor. Keenan explains why the band feels like it’s finally being “discovered” years after the fact, how this album leans harder and hits sharper than its predecessors, and why observation—not preaching—is the real job here. The conversation also gets into the creation of the new character Bellendia

Holland digs into what a producer actually does, why rejection is basically part of the job description, how the ’90s indie boom cracked Hollywood open, and why that spirit might be poised for a comeback in the

Kyle Meredith sits down with Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, Ted McGinley, and Michael Urie to unpack how Shrinking season 3 on Apple TV might be the show’s richest chapter yet. The cast talks about how the series keeps deepening its characters without losing the jokes, from Gabby’s emotionally loaded monologues and Brian realizing he doesn’t have life figured out, to Derek finally stepping out from behind the zen-smile and Liz living at full-throttle anxiety year-round. Miller dives into the

Talking with Kyle Meredith, Petula Clark and Don McLean both reflect on what it means to keep creating decades into a career, each from their own corner of the musical universe. Clark walks through the making of Living For Today, from recording in a tiny garden studio in London to shaping the title track’s light-to-serious turn, reconnecting with Tony Hatch, and navigating the nerves (and respect) that come with reinterpreting classics—from Peggy Lee’s “Fever” to the Beatles’ “Blackbird”—while

Platinum-selling singer Carnie Wilson of Wilson Phillips sits down with Kyle Meredith ahead of her 2026 She Rocks Awards honor to talk about the full arc of her career — from the monster success of Wilson Phillips and the harmonies that defined a generation to the overlooked gems like Shadows And Light and the criminally underrated The Wilsons, which reunited her with her father Brian Wilson and let the band rock harder than anyone expected.

2026/01/19

In a pair of conversations tied together by one very uneasy stash house, Kyle Meredith talks with Catalina Sandino Moreno and Sasha Calle about Netflix’s The Rip, a crime thriller that’s less about shootouts than the slow psychological squeeze of not knowing who to trust. Moreno reflects on returning to morally complex material after Maria Full of Grace, what it’s like sharing scenes with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and why this run of action-heavy roles marks a surprisingly fun new chapter in her

Steven Knight and Malachi Kirby dig into the darker second chapter of A Thousand Blows, where the optimism of the first season has been beaten down by reality in 1880s East End London. Knight talks about shooting both seasons back-to-back, building an immersive, walkable version of Victorian London, and grounding the story in real history without sanding off its chaos, while Kirby breaks down Hezekiah’s transformation from hopeful newcomer to a man fueled by pain, rage, and survival instinct.

Neko Case is back with Neon Grey Midnight Green, her first new album in years, and she’s catching up with Kyle Meredith to talk about why this record feels like a celebration of music itself — the people who make it, the people who listen, and the strange, communal magic that happens when everyone meets in the same room. Case digs into how the album stands apart from her recent autobiography, why trusting herself as a producer matters more than ever, and how recording with real musicians shaped the

Walker Scobell sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about jumping back into the role that changed everything as Percy Jackson and the Olympians heads into its bigger, more physical second season on Disney+, opening up about how stepping away between seasons actually made him a better actor, why Season 2 demanded more stunt work and endurance, and how growing up in real time messes with audience perception on a long-gestating effects-heavy show.

Filmmaker Morgan Neville sits down with Kyle Meredith to unpack his Netflix documentary Breakdown 1975, a deep dive into a year when America seemed to collectively lose its footing and still made some of its greatest movies in the process. Neville explains why you can’t tell the story of 1975 without the years around it, how post-Watergate anxiety, cultural whiplash, and political exhaustion bled directly into films like Chinatown, Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, Jaws, and Star Wars, and why that

Director Paul Feig talks with Kyle Meredith about adapting The Housemaid from Freda McFadden’s bestseller, shaping its sly tonal shift from “fun unsettling” to full-on psychological thriller, and why he ultimately added entire pieces to the story that aren’t in the book. Feig digs into the dual-POV structure, explains his aversion to lazy voiceover, and breaks down how the film balances an hour of questions with an hour of answers. He also gets into building nuanced female-led stories (from

Zende Murdoch of The Runarounds jumps on with Kyle Meredith to dig into how a “fake” TV band on The Runarounds (now streaming on Prime Video) turned into a very real, very busy rock band. He talks about answering that mysterious Instagram casting call tied to Outer Banks, the long secret stretch of years where the group was quietly writing, finding their sound, and cutting an EP with Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads before anyone even knew the show existed.
