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

In the twenty-fifth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages), the halfway mark, Kyle is joined by actor Ben McGinley and musician Ben Childs to discuss the abstract avant-garde experimentation of Francis Ford Coppola as he mines the ideas of mortality, temporality, and nostalgia adapting S.E. Hinton's lesser known teenage melodrama Rumble Fish (1983). 

In the twenty-fourth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by a female panel of guests, script supervisor Katy Baldwin, editor Kristi Shimek, and actress Thurlene Williams, to discuss the monstrosity of female puberty, sexuality, and expectation as depicted through the metaphor of lycanthropy in John Fawcett's horror as coming-of-age film Ginger Snaps (2000).

In the twenty-third episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and musician Ben Childs to discuss the incisive outsider perspective of Jerzy Skolimowski's reflection on the decaying final breath of swinging 60s counter culture and its byproduct of psychosexual power politics and societal exploitation in the surrealistic film Deep End (1970). 

In the twenty-second episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Ben Thelen and novelist Samuel Cullado to discuss Milos Forman's early Czech New Wave masterwork about the self-discovery of the individual juxtaposed against the absurd socialist central planning of the collective in the wonderfully elusive tragicomedy coming-of-age film Loves of a Blonde (1965).

In the twenty-first episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by actress Thurlene Williams and novelist Reagan Osborne to discuss the enigmatic and inarticulable qualities of perception, imagination, and experience trapped in the structured barriers of American suburbia that define Sofia Coppola's incisive and empathetic look at the mundanity of the adolescent experience and the hollow promise of adulthood in The Virgin Suicides (1999). 

In the twentieth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and screenwriter David Gutierrez to discuss the radically experimental Czech New Wave filmmaker Věra Chytilová and her anarchic political confrontation against Soviet censorship, scarcity, and oppression in the unconventional feminist hang out film Daisies (1966).

In the nineteenth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by editor Katy Baldwin and screenwriter August Gummere to discuss Elia Kazan's first foray into filmmaking and assessing the complexities of the American project by adapting Betty Smith's coming-of-age novel of individual dreams, a developing city, and country in fluctuation that is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945).

In the eighteenth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Ben Thelen and actor Benjamin McGinley to discuss the peripheral melancholy that pervades the wistful nostalgia of George Lucas' hazy memory of Modesto and America in 1962 right before the world changed in the foundational hangout film American Graffiti (1973).

In the seventeenth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and actor Dan Bauer to discuss the thin line between adolescence and adulthood where youthful fantasy and invulnerability clash against the impending responsibilities and realizations of growing up in Amy Heckerling's tender and humorous mosaic of the high school experience Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982).

In the sixteenth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Zax Protzmann and filmmaker Jeff Keller to discuss Michael Schultz's high school dramedy about the promise of youth and the melancholic exposure to reality that gave voice and representation to the black coming-of-age experience in all its honesty, dynamism, and humanism entitled Cooley High (1975).
