In the thirty-fourth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by screenwriter Katy Baldwin and actor Dan Bauer to discuss the joyous satire of lo-fi science-fiction fandom and the actors who have taken the gift of a show's community and philosophy for granted in Dean Parisot's wonderful ode to how pop culture can be more than simply a commercialized product in the hilarious Galaxy Quest (1999).

In the thirty-third episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by filmmaker Daniel Lopez and musician Ben Childs to discuss the fractured and enigmatic construction of Nicolas Roeg's Christ-like allegory for modernity's denial of true progress and enlightenment in the experimentally bold adaptation of Walter Tevis' novel The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976).

In the thirty-second episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by screenwriter Katy Baldwin and cinematographer Ezra Balcha to discuss John Sayles' low-budget science-fiction parable about the alienation of the immigrant experience, the complexities of assimilation, and the preservation of community in the warm, tender, and often times silly The Brother from Another Planet (1984).

In the thirty-first episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by filmmaker Daniel Lopez and cinephile Alejandro Etcheagaray to discuss the mixture of avant-garde formalism, black nationalist attitude, and revolutionary politics that created the explosive and rebellious statement of black power, autonomy, and survival in Melvin Van Peebles' radical Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971).

In the thirtieth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and cinematographer Ezra Balcha to discuss the ethereal and experimental black vampire film from artist Bill Gunn that utilizes rich metaphor, hallucinatory ambiance, and raw sexuality to make a commentary on the assumptions of black culture and what might be the monstrous realities behind those assumptions in Ganja & Hess (1973).

In the twenty-ninth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with screenwriter August Gummere to discuss the full 80s camp of soundtrack, aesthetic, and attitude in Joel Schumacher's flamboyant subversion of the vampire genre that reflects on found family, Generation X anxiety, and the seduction of immortality with no responsibility in the cult classic The Lost Boys (1987).

In the twenty-eighth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by novelist Samuel Cullado and cinematographer Josh Carter to discuss the purgatorial hellscape of a gentrifying city for one sexually repressed word processor in his looped surrealist Odyssey of confronting his insecurities and trying to find home in Martin Scorsese's maddening and hilarious After Hours (1985).

In the twenty-seventh episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Ben Thelen and activist Kerry Harwin to discuss the tenuous line between genius and madness in Darren Aronofsky's exquisite dissection of order and chaos in the universe and the numerology, mysticism, and materialism that people attempt to use to bridge the two together in the true independent masterpiece Pi (1998).

In the twenty-sixth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Michael Willer and graphic designer Nell Bailey to discuss Stephan Elliott's vibrant and complex portrait of the gay, trans, and drag queen experience of Australia that pushed representation and tolerance forward with its reflections on male identity, performative truth, and healing bigotry with humanity in the road film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994).
