I Know Movies and You Don't w/ Kyle Bruehl

In the forty-fifth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!)

In the forty-fourth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Ben Thelen and novelist Samuel Cullado to discuss and dissect the surrealist experimentation of 30s stylization combined with a commentary on the exploitation and commodification of trauma, sadness, and tragedy in Guy Maddin's exquisitely funny and farcical musical The Saddest Music in the World (2003).

In the forty-third episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by novelist Samuel Cullado and screenwriter Gio Maldonado to discuss the controversial anti-musical that deconstructs the genre's inherent romanticism towards fantasy, wish fulfillment, and myth as it relates to the American project for workers, mothers, and immigrants in Lars Von Trier's relentlessly bleak Dancer in the Dark (2000).

In the forty-second episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Michael Willer and novelist Alex Buda to discuss the raucous punk rock musical sensation that shattered the gender binary and confronted the modern complexity of personal identity before there was official language to do so in John Cameron Mitchell's Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001).

In the forty-first episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by journalist Kerry Harwin and stand-up comedian JJ Tyson to discuss Mike Leigh's immersion into the sumptuous fantasy and detailed naturalism of Victorian England as it surveys the partnership of librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan that turns into a grand collaborative study of company creation in Topsy-Turvy (1999).

In the fortieth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical) Kyle is joined by editor Katy Baldwin and fellow cinephile Jordan Berry to discuss the illusive truth of performance and identity as it relates to the glittery, flamboyant, and counter cultural movement of British Glam Rock that is embodied in spirit, essence, and time in Todd Haynes' Velvet Goldmine (1998).

In the thirty-ninth episode of Season 9 (Keep it Musical!) Kyle is joined by editor Katy Baldwin and cinematographer Josh Carter to discuss the Disney renaissance flop that turned into a cult classic about a collective bargaining historical event turned into a wish fulfilling fantasy of dynamic unity in Kenny Ortega's strike musical Newsies (1992).

In the thirty-eighth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and novelist Samuel Cullado to discuss the fabulous madcap immersion into the insanely competitive world of ballroom dancing in Baz Luhrmann's directorial debut about creative authenticity and collaborative trust that is Strictly Ballroom (1992).

In the thirty-seventh episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by filmmaker Daniel Lopez and artist Anna Cullado to discuss the heightened camp of nostalgia and exaggerated stylization in John Waters' glorious ode to 50s era aesthetic and the prominent deconstruction of the absurd black-and-white morality of its time in the fun and chaotic musical Cry-Baby (1990).

In the thirty-sixth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with editor and script supervisor Katy Baldwin to discuss the melancholic loneliness of being stuck in creative stagnation and the hidden resentments the rise to the surface when not confronted in Steve Kloves' engaging character trinity of working class creativity, The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989).
