In the forty-fifth episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by a panel of guests, script supervisor Katy Baldwin, actor Dan Bauer, and fellow critic Tyler Harlow, to discuss Bart Layton's docu-realist retelling of a tale stranger than fiction and how fragmented perception makes for an elusive idea of truth in American Animals (2018).

In the forty-fourth episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by a panel of guests, screenwriter August Gummere, podcaster Michael Willer, and musician Ben Childs, to discuss the refrigerator logic of the structuralist and rationalist Christopher Nolan and his embodiment of the heist genre in the sci-fi blended love letter to filmmaking in Inception (2010).

In the forty-third episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by screenwriter Gio Maldonado and actor Galen Howard to discuss the surrealist purgatory of a gangster caught between his tranquil escapist present and the disruption of his demonic past embodied in an unstoppable force in Jonathan Glazer's directorial debut Sexy Beast (2000).

In the forty-second episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by cinematographer Josh Carter and writer/performer Reagan Osborne to discuss the suave, sexy, and stylistic adaptation of Elmore Leonard's hang out heist romance in Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight (1998).

In the forty-first episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by filmmaker Jeffrey Keller and writer/performer Reagan Osborne to discuss the ode to blaxploitation and the legend of Pam Grier that makes for the mature reflection on aging, dwindling opportunity, and the melancholy of loneliness in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown (1997).

In the fortieth episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by writer/performer Reagan Osborne and actor Ben McGinley to discuss the spy genre as a distillation of government sanctioned con-artistry, the cultural paranoia around the elusiveness of truth, and how the performative facade of a mission is the equivalent to cinema in Brian De Palma's Mission:Impossible (1996).

In the thirty-ninth episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Michael Willer (of the Big Fat Gay Podcast) and fellow film critic Tyler Harlow (of the After the Credits blog) to discuss the hyper-stylized immersion into the London underworld and the naive poor saps who get taken for a parable ride in Guy Ritchie's debut Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998).

In the thirty-eighth episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by script supervisor Katy Baldwin and editor Kristi Shimek to discuss Peter Jackson's mid-budget blockbuster ode to the strange and the weird with an unlikable anti-hero, a paranormal con-job, and a murderous mystery at the center of The Frighteners (1996).
