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

In the fifth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by editor/script supervisor Katy Baldwin and fellow cinephile Derek Paranay to discuss the underlying gender, class, and political frustrations of The Great Depression contained in the screwball antics and mild commentary of peripheral artists and citizens in Mervyn LeRoy and choreographer Busby Berkeley's Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933).

In the fourth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and filmmaker Alejandro Etcheagaray to discuss the turmoil and collective struggle in putting on a show of escapism and meaning during The Great Depression in Lloyd Bacon's co-collaboration with choreographer Busby Berkley in the definitive and foundational backstage musical 42nd Street (1933).

In the third episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by stunt actor Danny Hernandez and stand-up comedian JJ Tyson to discuss the subversive pre-code musical comedy about passion, class, and identity in Rouben Mamoulian's meta-textual experiment and satirical commentary on genre in the exquisitely delightful Love Me Tonight (1932).

In the second episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez for a one-on-one conversation about René Clair's blend of surrealist sound design and fantastical musical touches that enhance his delightful tale of love conquering monetary dependency in the ingenuously constructed Le Million (1931).

In the Season Premiere of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek (of Bumper in Berlin) and screenwriter Katy Baldwin (of the Story Yelling Podcast) to discuss an elusive musical gem from the early talkie era of Hollywood with King Vidor's loving and parable driven examination of black spirituals and rituals in the South and their dynamic of passion versus reason in the rare all black musical Hallelujah (1929).

In the season finale of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Ben Thelen and editor Kristi Shimek to discuss Wes Anderson's fable of adolescence and how it reflects on the fear of entering the constant cycles of perpetual coming-of-age that defines adulthood in the semi-autobiographical Rushmore (1998).

In the forty-ninth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and fellow podcaster Zax Protzmann to discuss the seminal coming-of-age film about high school archetypes caught in a purgatorial confrontation with their insecurities, vulnerabilities, and connections that defines John Hughes' radical human portrait of teenage angst in The Breakfast Club (1985).

In the forty-eighth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by editor/writer Katy Baldwin and novelist Samuel Cullado to discuss the traumatic and damaging avenues of nurturing when it comes to coming-of-age in Yorgos Lanthimos's brutalist invocation of the oppressive family unit and the faulty positive assumptions it imbeds in society in the haunting yet darkly humorous Dogtooth (2009).

In the forty-seventh episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by a panel of guests, cinematographer Josh Carter, writer/editor Katy Baldwin, and novelist Samuel Cullado, to discuss the blend of genre nightmare and beautiful romance that makes up Tomas Alfredson's horror fable between two outsiders and their need to survive in the subversive coming-of-age adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel Let the Right One In (2008).

In the forty-sixth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by filmmakers Mario Ruiz and Jordan Berry to discuss the dense and detailed immersion into the memory of a nostalgic yet indifferent Taiwan of the past as it weaves in commentary on masculinity, identity, and fractured politics into a tragic coming-of-age downward spiral that defines Edward Yang's beautiful yet daunting A Brighter Summer Day (1991).
