• Jeff Tweedy on Twilight Override, Making a Triple Album, and Radical Hope

  Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy joins Kyle Meredith to dive into his ambitious new triple solo album, Twilight Override. Clocking in at 30 songs across three discs, the project explores the past, present, and future—not as a rigid concept record, but as a flowing arc of memory, meaning, and hope. Tweedy shares how the record was inspired by the voices of his touring band, and how writing for their harmonies pushed the songs into new emotional territory. He also reflects on post-pandemic generational trauma, the ongoing challenge of maintaining empathy in a fractured world, and the creative power in resisting doomscroll culture.From the autobiographical storytelling of “parking lots” to the messy guitar solos and meditative closing track “Enough,” it’s a generous and unguarded collection—released, hilariously, on the 30th anniversary of Wilco’s debut. No nostalgia tours here, just a big-hearted flood of new music.

• Michael Chiklis, Mary Stuart Masterson & Rob Corddry on The Senior and Redefining Second Chances

  The cast of The Senior -- Michael Chiklis, Rob Corddry, and Mary Stuart Masterson -- along with the actual former football player the movie is based upon, Mike Flynt, join Kyle Meredith to talk about the film's wild-but-true story. The Senior follows Flynt as he becomes the older player to ever suit up for a college football team -- at the age of 59.Chiklis, who was also 59 when filming, talks about the physical toll of hitting the field, how he approached portraying a living person, and why this became one of the most meaningful projects of his career. Corddry and Masterson, who play Flynt's coach and wife, respectively, discuss finding unexpected emotional depth in their characters, navigating the real people behind the roles (including Eileen Flynt watching on set), and how the film explores masculinity, redemption, faith, and the long game of unfinished business. It’s a sports movie, sure — but one that trades cliché locker room speeches for something a lot more human.Listen to the cast of The Senior discuss the new movie or watch the interviews via YouTube: Michael Chiklis and Mike Flynt here, and Rob Corddry and Mary Stuart Masterson here. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

• Hannah Stocking, Madison Pettis & Yvonne Orji on The Wrong Paris, Reality TV, and Playing Big Characters

  Hannah Stocking, Madison Pettis, and Yvonne Orji talk with Kyle Meredith about The Wrong Paris on Netflix — where a contestant (played by Miranda Cosgrove) signs up for a Parisian dating show and lands in Paris, Texas instead, plotting an early exit until feelings complicate the plan. We get into audition choices (including a full-throttle Southern accent), improv on set, playing “ambitiously passionate” reality-show personas, and how Yvonne’s hosting on real-life dating shows informed her in-film emcee. It’s backstage chaos, bull-riding bruises, and a surprisingly sweet heart under the satire—all in a fast, funny hang with Kyle Meredith.Listen to the cast of The Wrong Paris discuss the new film or watch the interview on YouTube here. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

• Willem Dafoe, Corey Hawkins, Anna Diop & Nadia Latif on The Man in My Basement

  Kyle Meredith talks with Willem Dafoe, Corey Hawkins, Anna Diop, and director Nadia Latif about turning Walter Mosley’s novel The Man in My Basement into a psychological thriller where race, trauma, and grief haunt every frame. The story follows Charles Blakey (Corey Hawkins), a man on the verge of losing his ancestral Sag Harbor home, who agrees to rent his basement to the mysterious Aniston Bennett (Willem Dafoe) for the summer—only to find himself pulled into a chilling reckoning with history, family ghosts, and the root of all evil. Dafoe digs into acting as “pretend” courage, why first days on set still terrify him, and how genre lets hard truths sneak up on an audience. Latif reflects on making her feature debut and weaving her own story of loss into Mosley’s text, while Hawkins details playing Charles’ transformation opposite Dafoe in a basement where time itself bends. Diop speaks to how horror and thriller connect with Black history in ways straight drama can’t. From prosaic lines that ring like bells (“People die every day”) to lighting tricks, skewed timelines, and even maggot wrangling, the team unpacks how The Man in My Basement becomes a story you can’t shake.Listen to Willem Dafoe, Corey Hawkins, and more of the cast of The Man in My Basement discuss the new film or watch the interviews on YouTube here and here. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

• Rewind: Soft Cell’s Marc Almond & OMD’s Paul Humphreys: Orchestras, Glitch, and Making the Past Feel New

  It's a Rewind double feature today on Kyle Meredith With, as we bring you a pair of episodes from 2017. First, Soft Cell’s Marc Almond talks with Kyle Meredith about shaping his 2017 solo album, Shadows and Reflections, as a '60s-steeped, orchestral “torch and baroque” set—curating lesser-known gems, keeping the original arrangements’ DNA, and slipping in two new cuts (including the filmic “No One to Say Goodnight To” and the Walker Brothers-sized “Embers”). Then on the second half of the episode, OMD’s Paul Humphreys talks about the band's own album from that year, The Punishment of Luxury, balancing four decades of signature melody with modern minimalism and glitch textures, limiting the synth palette to dodge the “tyranny of choice,” and turning a WWI painting into a rhythmic teaser with gunfire as percussion—while still embracing the hits.Show your support for Kyle Meredith With by making sure to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
