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

In the forty-fifth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by filmmaker Daniel Lopez and sound designer/musician Jake Dilley to discuss the revolutionary bent in both form and theme that defines Lindsay Anderson's full frontal assault on British imperial traditionalism and the imbedded ritualistic brutality in the scholastic institutions in the counter cultural film If.... (1968).

In the forty-fourth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by novelist Samuel Cullado and film critic Tyler Harlow to discuss the unflinching tonal discomfort of Todd Solondz's immersion into the onslaught of degradation and shame in Junior High School which captures the true painful liminality between adolescence and adulthood in Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995).

In the forty-third episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and filmmaker Jordan Berry to discuss the nature vs. nurture influence on coming-of-age set against the mythological landscape of America through its tragic past and its uncertain future embodied in the Biblical symbology of the Trask family in Elia Kazan's adaptation of John Steinbeck's epic East of Eden (1955).

In the forty-second episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by script supervisor Katy Baldwin and screenwriter David Gutierrez to discuss the lyrical and poetic true crime inversion that tackles a generation of detachment, the dangers of personal mythology, and the adolescent divide between impulse and reason that defines the stunning debut of Terrence Malick, Badlands (1973).

In the forty-first episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by cinematographer Josh Carter and filmmaker Daniel Lopez to break down the perpetual boredom and haunting apathy of the new pre-grunge youth in Tim Hunter's exquisite sociological horror of curdled morality in River's Edge (1986).

In the fortieth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by stunt actor Danny Hernandez and filmmaker Daniel Lopez to discuss the children lost to a societal failure in the 1970s trash infested tenements of Glasgow in Lynne Ramsay's poetic, lyrical, and devastating coming-of-age tale Ratcatcher (1999).

In the thirty-ninth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by screenwriters David Gutierrez and Gio Maldonado to discuss the melancholic ode to the lost small town of America, the inevitability of change, and how some people get left behind in Peter Bogdanovich's deeply moving and thoroughly honest portrait of aging beyond our history, legacy, and myth in The Last Picture Show (1971).

In the thirty-eighth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and actor Benjamin McGinley to discuss Barry Levinson's loving ode to the "lost generation," their masculine insecurity, and their sanctuary of perpetual irresponsibility in the drastically underseen and greatly underappreciated influential gem Diner (1982).

In the thirty-seventh episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez for a one-on-one discussion of André Téchiné's semi-autobiographical tale of sexual discovery and political conflict amongst teens set against the backdrop of the ending turmoil of the French-Algerian war in the beautifully rendered and extremely tender coming-of-age film Wild Reeds (1994).

In the thirty-sixth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Ben Thelen and script supervisor/editor Katy Baldwin to discuss the coming-of-age process as seen through the lens of informed militarism, oppressive parenthood, domineering expectation, and lasting trauma imposed through the sheer force of one man's will in Lewis John Carlino's adapation of Pat Conroy's semi-autobiographical novel The Great Santini (1979).
