Kyle Meredith With...

Judith Light says horror found her, not the other way around, but The Terror: Devil in Silver might be the role that proves she belongs there. Talking with Kyle Meredith, the legendary actress gets into disappearing into the character of Dory, a woman abandoned inside a psychiatric hospital for decades, while also digging into the series’ bigger themes around mental health, homelessness, and a healthcare system that leaves people behind. Along the way, she talks about working with Dan Stevens, CCH Pounder, and Steven Root, the “wild hysteria” offset that kept everyone sane while making something this dark, and why entertainment works best when it gets people talking afterward.

Kimiko Glenn says every relationship on her debut EP Modern Dance was either doomed from the start or became material eventually, and talking with Kyle Meredith, she gets into the very real stories behind it all. The Orange Is the New Black and Kiff star talks about finally putting her “secret” songs out into the world after years of treating music like a private diary, channeling grief into her first single “Oh Honey,” and finding a weirdly perfect lane between synth-pop confessionals and total visual chaos. They also get into dating in the age of the manosphere, emotionally intelligent men apparently becoming an endangered species, directing her own completely unhinged “Hang Out Forever” video, and why voice acting accidentally gave her the freedom to become a musician in the first place. Also, she’s playing Peni Parker in the new Spider-Man animated movie, which means Gerard Way technically helped create one of her next big roles.

Jack Antonoff says all he really wants out of life is to make records and tour, and that turns into a surprisingly heavy conversation with Kyle Meredith about grief, ancestry, community, religion, and why Bleachers’ new album Everyone for Ten Minutes accidentally became an origin story. They get into the “ancestral pact” of leaving home to chase art, Bruce Springsteen’s advice about building a life around music, the weirdness of becoming famous enough to watch your own history rewritten, and why Antonoff thinks concerts are closer to church than actual churches. There’s also plenty on balancing the producer side with the artist side, finding “magic” in recording sessions, and why sometimes the demo is still the best version no matter how much money you throw at it.

Maya Hawke tells Kyle Meredith that her new album MAITREYA CORSO accidentally became a love record after falling deeper into her relationship and eventually marrying songwriting partner Christian Lee Hudson, and the conversation gets pretty fascinating from there. They talk about writing songs together while navigating a real relationship, the fear of being fully seen by another person, and how tracks like “Dreamhouse” and “Bring Home My Man” became about learning to stop hiding parts of yourself. Hawke also opens up about finishing Stranger Things 5 while making the record, the depression that followed the end of the series, and how being more selective with acting roles finally changed her confidence on the film side too.

Courtney Barnett is back talking with Kyle Meredith about Creature of Habit, digging into those years between records, the move to LA, and why that chapter is more backdrop than the story itself. She gets into second-guessing songs like “Mostly Patient” and “Site Unseen” before pulling them back from the edge, trusting instinct even when it feels like a dead end, and how ideas can sit for years before finally clicking. There’s also talk about subtle callbacks across her catalog, turning old riffs into new songs, and working with Flea and Katie Crutchfield in a loose, live-in-the-room session. And somewhere in there, she’s still figuring out if those songs are actually talking to each other or if that’s just us connecting the dots.

Natalie Alyn Lind got the call, packed her bags in two days, and suddenly she’s at cowboy camp learning to rope for Dutton Ranch, and she tells Kyle Meredith how that whirlwind turned into one of the most immersive roles of her career. She talks about building a “wild and free” character who evolves in ways fans won’t see coming, going toe-to-toe with Annette Bening, and why the show’s messy family dynamics are the real hook. Then it flips completely as she dives into Halloween Store, the slasher she’s starring in, producing, casting, and even editing herself, calling it her love letter to old-school horror and the project that’s got her hooked on filmmaking beyond acting.

Paul Bettany says he believes in genius “the same way I believe in libraries,” and that pretty much sets the tone as he and Will Sharpe talk Amadeus with Kyle Meredith, digging into why this story still hits and what a longer series lets them explore beyond the film. Bettany leans into Salieri’s perspective but says this version finally gives Mozart equal weight, especially the toll genius takes at home and not just in the spotlight. Sharpe, meanwhile, talks about using Mozart’s music as a way into the character, chasing the mix of playfulness, ego, and eventual darkness that builds across the series. And somewhere in there, you get a reminder that genius might be real, even if no one quite understands it. Listen to Paul Bettany and Will Sharpe chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Jena Malone catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about her first album under her own name, Flowers for Men, which pulls together a decade of voice memos, poems, and late-night recordings into something she calls “sci-fi folk.” She gets into how becoming a parent reshaped her creativity, why she’s more interested in building new myths about love and the future than following traditional songwriting rules, and how tracks like “You’ve Been on My Mind” and “F*** Boys” came from flipping perspective and owning projection. There’s also talk of her new Netflix series The Boroughs, the Duffer Brothers’ follow-up to Stranger Things, which trades kid heroes for older characters facing aliens and mortality.

Shawn Colvin tells Kyle Meredith how A Few Small Repairs accidentally became her breakthrough, powered by "Sunny Came Home" and that unforgettable Grammy moment, but also the pressure that hit right after when success finally showed up on album four. She talks about letting go of chasing hits, the weird reality of being labeled a “divorce record,” and how that freedom is exactly what made it connect. Then the conversation shifts into her later work with The Starlighter, pulling from a childhood book of lullabies that stuck with her for decades, which turns into this full-circle moment between her early musical life and raising her daughter. It’s about instinct, timing, and the strange way the songs you don’t aim at radio sometimes end up everywhere.

Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo catch up with Kyle Meredith to talk about stepping back into the world of Criminal Record for its second season, digging into the evolving dynamic between their characters while the story tackles timely themes like extremism, morality, and power. Capaldi discusses the challenge of playing things closer to the chest this time around, dialing back his usual expressive instincts to keep his character more guarded, while Jumbo leans into June’s growing confidence and the cost of sticking to her moral compass as the stakes rise. They also get into how much of the story they actually want to know ahead of time, the spontaneity that comes from minimal rehearsal, and how the show manages to pull off big, cinematic moments on a tight budget, including that explosive opening riot scene.

The cast of The Audacity, including Billy Magnuson, Jonathan Glatzer, Paul Adelstein, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge, and Ava Marie Telek, all sit down with Kyle Meredith to unpack a Silicon Valley satire that feels a little too close to reality, from ego-driven CEOs and “wild god” founder worship to the quieter damage done behind the scenes. Across the conversations, they dig into characters who think they’re doing good while chasing power and influence, the irony of building technology meant to connect people while becoming more isolated, and how money and ambition tend to expose rather than create corruption. Adelstein talks about playing emotional disconnection, Helberg leans into the contradiction of a man obsessed with connection who can’t achieve it, and Corddry admits to borrowing from great performances like Succession, while Rath points out that even the most well-meaning players are still playing the same game. Meanwhile, the younger cast frames the show’s real question: whether the next generation can break the cycle or is doomed to repeat it, offering a bit of hope in a world where the adults are mostly lost, all wrapped in a series that balances unsettling truths with absurd moments like karaoke curveballs and perfectly aimed truffles.

Barbie Ferreira, Devon Bostick, and Chandler Levack all sit down with Kyle Meredith to unpack Mile End Kicks, starting with Ferreira on playing a version of Levack and how stepping into a character rooted in real life meant leaning into the awkward, chaotic reality of your early 20s while also producing the film and bringing her own mix of influences from One Direction to Alanis Morissette; Bostick follows, talking about learning guitar from scratch to play a convincing indie band member, finding himself in the character, and helping capture that specific moment where nobody has it together but everyone’s pretending they might; and Levack ties it all together, explaining how her time as a SPIN critic during the blog rock era turned into a decade-long process of shaping the story, making the lead character more flawed and active, pulling inspiration from Almost Famous and Jagged Little Pill, and recreating a now-vanished music journalism world with the right mix of real songs and original tracks.

Jason Mewes sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about building a career that’s lasted more than three decades, from his start in Kevin Smith’s Clerks to the ever-expanding Jay And Silent Bob universe, and now into new territory with his YouTube series Five Things. The show, set inside a convenience store, uses everyday items as a jumping-off point for conversations that go way off the usual press-tour script, pulling out stories even longtime collaborators haven’t heard before. Mewes also gets into the evolution of his stand-up "Diary Of A Manchild," how sobriety still shapes the way he approaches the stage, and why he’s shifted away from the heavier material toward something looser and more personal. Along the way, he talks about directing Madness In The Method, revisiting earlier films like Drawing Flies, launching a Murdoch Mysteries podcast, and the reality that staying in the business often means creating your own opportunities. It’s a conversation about longevity, luck, and figuring out how to keep doing what you love, all while still finding time to circle back for another run in the View Askewniverse.

Joe Bonamassa and George Benson join Kyle Meredith to talk about the massive tribute album B.B. King Blues Summit 100, a 40-artist, 32-song celebration of B.B. King that pulls in everyone from Eric Clapton to Sheryl Crow, Marcus King, and more. The two guitar greats trade stories about their personal history with B.B., from Benson being called his favorite guitarist to Bonamassa touring with him at just 12 years old, while digging into what made B.B.’s playing, songwriting, and stage presence so singular. Along the way, they get into the overlap between blues and jazz, Benson’s breakthrough with “This Masquerade,” and the challenge of honoring a legend without trying to outdo him. And as they start joking and interviewing each other mid-conversation, it turns into exactly the kind of moment you hope for when two icons sit down.

Keeley Karsten joins Kyle Meredith to talk about stepping into the long-awaited Malcolm in the Middle revival, Life’s Still Unfair, playing Leah, Malcolm’s sharp, impulsive daughter who mirrors him without trying. Karsten admits she hadn’t even seen the original series before landing the role, leading to a crash-course binge ahead of filming, which helped her understand the family dynamics she was about to walk into. The Fablemans actress gets into the pressure of joining a cast that already has decades of chemistry, how quickly Bryan Cranston, Frankie Muniz, and the rest made her feel like part of the family, and the challenge of mastering the show’s signature fourth-wall breaks. She also highlights how the reboot balances absurd comedy with heavier ideas like generational baggage, all while keeping things fast and funny across just four episodes that leave the door open for more. And if there’s talk of a Leah-focused future, she’s not confirming anything, but she’s definitely not saying no either. Listen to Keeley Karsten chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Jon Hamm, Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, James Marsden, and creator Jonathan Tropper all join Kyle Meredith to unpack Season 2 of Your Friends And Neighbors, which shifts away from the first season’s heist-of-the-week setup into something darker and more character-driven, with Tropper calling it the show’s The Empire Strikes Back moment as the story pivots toward consequences and the bigger question of why Andrew Cooper keeps doing this at all; Hamm talks about slipping back into Coop’s rhythm and trusting that long-term arc, Peet gets into Mel’s storyline and how the show folds in menopause, identity, and midlife upheaval, while Munn returns as Sam to face the fallout of her choices and Marsden arrives as Owen Ash, a magnetic disruptor who feels somewhere between James Bond and Jay Gatsby, and across the board they dig into the push and pull of characters who are constantly working against themselves, the balance of humor and tension, and the details like Coop’s movie tastes.

Derek Trucks joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the Tedeschi Trucks Band’s new album Future Soul, a record he says captures the group feeling “present and current” while also hitting a new creative stride. He gets into working with producer Mike Elizondo to shape a more aggressive, forward-leaning sound, how songs like “Hero” tap into the band’s punk and grunge instincts, and why the title track demanded a guitar tone that felt like it might fall apart mid-take. Trucks also talks about writing after years back on the road post-pandemic, trimming down from a potential double album, and learning to serve the song even within a 12-piece lineup. Along the way, he reflects on rediscovering the joy of recording, surprising himself in the studio, and the full-circle moment of opening for the Eagles decades after first crossing paths with Joe Walsh.

Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone, and Lulu Wilson sit down with Kyle Meredith to talk about the absolutely unhinged ride that is Pizza Movie, a Hulu comedy that turns a simple late-night food run into a full-blown, multi-level hallucination adventure. The trio get into how the script first landed, why they skipped any “method research” when it came to the drug-fueled premise, and how the film plays like a video game with different phases—including body swaps, puppet worlds, and even a butterfly POV. They also break down the “Switcheroo” sequence and how they avoided tired body-swap tropes in favor of something sharper and more character-driven, plus the reality of shooting most of the movie inside a transformed middle school that somehow feels like a dozen different locations. It’s a fast, funny conversation about a movie that’s aiming straight for cult classic status.

Steve Zahn and Audrey Zahn sit down with Kyle Meredith to talk about turning their real-life father-daughter dynamic—and years spent in the competitive dance world—into the heartfelt indie film She Dances. Drawing from Audrey’s upbringing in dance competitions and layering in a quiet but powerful story of grief, the two discuss how the film became a deeply personal family affair, even featuring cameos from their own relatives. They get into the chaos and camaraderie of dance culture, the decision to avoid broad comedy in favor of something more honest, and how their new production company is helping champion this kind of storytelling. It’s also a look at indie filmmaking finding its footing again, with Kentucky as the backdrop, and how sometimes the most intimate stories hit the hardest.

Marisa Tomei, Sherry Cola, Ciara Bravo, and Marco Pigossi all sit down with Kyle Meredith to talk about You’re Dating A Narcissist, a rom-com that keeps twisting the knife as it asks who’s actually the problem in modern relationships. Tomei gets into playing a psychology professor obsessed with spotting narcissists—while maybe missing her own tendencies—while Cola talks about the rare chance to play in a story where every woman gets a full arc and no one’s entirely right. Bravo brings the emotional center, caught between her mother and fiancé, while Pigossi leans into the ambiguity of a character who might be charming… or something else entirely. Along the way, they talk about reuniting after High Tide, the film’s three-year journey to release, Cola’s turn in Shrinking with Jessica Williams, and how this story plays like a mystery where your instincts keep flipping right up to the end.
