Kyle Meredith With...

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.
