In the fifteenth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by filmmaker Michael Willer and stand-up comic JJ Tyson to discuss the iconic musical partnership of Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly embodied in their last farewell collaboration which reflected on the post-War malaise, the loss of idealism, and how friendships change in the sensational underappreciated musical gem It's Always Fair Weather (1955).

In the fourteenth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by a panel of guests, editor Katy Baldwin, writer Reagan Osborne, and filmmaker Mario Ruiz, to discuss the wondrous and celebratory hillbilly opera fashioned out of the gender politics of the frontier and its conflict with progress in Stanley Donen's beautifully crafted Cinemascope and Best Picture nominated musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954).

In the thirteenth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by script supervisor/editor Katy Baldwin and filmmaker Mario Ruiz to discuss the cultural positives and problematic negatives of Otto Preminger's independently financed rendition of Oscar Hammerstein II's adaptation of George Bizet's opera Carmen, the all- black musical Carmen Jones (1954).

In the twelfth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and stunt actor Danny Hernandez to discuss one of the true blue masterpieces of the MGM golden age of musicals with Vincente Minnelli's ode to collaborative creation and the sensation of pure entertainment in the exquisitely crafted and masterfully performed show revue The Band Wagon (1953).

In the eleventh episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by novelist Samuel Cullado and fellow podcaster Zax Protzmann to decipher the strange dreamy musical world of childhood trauma, authoritarian anxiety, and psychological mirroring concocted by Dr. Seuss in the flawed yet mesmerizing original and grand musical production known as The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953).

In the tenth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and stunt actor Danny. Hernandez to discuss the culmination of Busby Berkeley's visionary talents of surrealistic deviations, optimistic aptitude, and choreographic maximalism and how they were utilized to express unity, collaboration, and hope during World War II in The Gang's All Here (1943).

In the ninth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by filmmaker Daniel Lopez and novelist Samuel Cullado to discuss musical extraordinaire Vincent Minnelli's debut feature film, the archetypal moral fable about the oppressive nature of our forced bifurcated choice between earthly temptation and transcendent spiritualism in the rare all black musical Cabin in the Sky (1943).

In the eighth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Ben Thelen and musician Ben Childs to discuss the musical biopic of Broadway legend George M. Cohan and how he fused together show business with the zeitgeist of patriotism that helped mythologize the idealistic idea of America just as he mythologized his own existence in the splendid and catchy studio musical from Michael Curtiz, Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942).

In the seventh episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and editor Kristi Shimek to discuss the backstage musical oddity of  dissonant artistry and the audience as voyeur that makes up Dorothy Arzner's half experimental take on the conventional musical form and its romantic assumptions that defines the B-movie flair of Dance, Girl, Dance (1940).

In the sixth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by fellow cinephile/filmmaker Mario Ruiz and musician Ben Childs to discuss the charming art deco immersion of dance and class enhanced by George Stevens' exquisite craftsmanship capturing the iconic force duo that was Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the screwball musical Swing Time (1936).
