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

In the twenty-fifth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by fellow podcast Ben Thelen for a one-on-one conversation about Jennie Livingston's anthropological document about the gay and drag queen subculture of the New York ball scene and how the lifestyle embodied challenges to societal definition, fluid gender representation, and a house culture that created a new found idea of family in the stunning and groundbreaking documentary Paris is Burning (1990).

In the twenty-fourth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and filmmaker Mario Ruiz to discuss the experimental, phantasmagoric, and surrealist dive into the underground gay subculture of Japan in the 60s where a loose adaptation of Oedipus Rex guides us through shifting genres, changing identities, and a contorted script of experience in Toshio Matsumoto's barrier smashing Funeral Parade of Roses (1969).

In the twenty-third episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with fellow podcaster Lee from Spro & Lee Take on the Academy as they discuss the irreverent nature and knowing stupidity of SCTV favorites Bob & Doug McKenzie as they become the Rosencrantz & Guildenstern of an unsuspecting Hamlet tragedy in the sketch turned film adaptation known as Strange Brew (1983).

In the twenty-second episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and musician Ben Childs to discuss the eerily prescient dystopian lens of Norman Jewison's assessment of media violence, corporatization, and the sacrifice of individuality for the sake of comfort in the highly efficient and incredibly technical Rollerball (1975).

In the twenty-first episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by stunt actor Danny Hernandez and filmmaker Daniel Lopez to discuss the prescient dissection of media violence, personality politicians, and the co-mingling of religion and corporation that makes up the Roger Corman produced and Paul Bartel directed exploitation satire Death Race 2000 (1975).

In the twentieth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with filmmaker Daniel Lopez to discuss David Cronenberg's mutation of adaptation and biography of William S. Burroughs famously unadaptable beat generation novel as he weaves a surreal impression about the writing process as madness, the id conjuring psychic horrors, and sexual repression breeding ambivalence in the delirious and non-sensical Naked Lunch (1991).

In the nineteenth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by fellow cinephile Derek Paranay and dork of all trades Daniel Lopez to discuss the witty yet melancholic tale of youthful idealism, transient friendship, and pragmatic betrayal in Bruce Robinson's semi-autobiographical reflection of the hangover that followed the swinging sixties in Withnail & I (1987).

In the eighteenth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with screenwriter Katy Baldwin to discuss Franc Roddam's ode to the faded Mod subculture and how its disappearance relates to the transience of youth, identity, and history in the gritty kitchen sink adaptation of The Who's second rock opera Quadrophenia (1979).

In the seventeenth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by screenwriter Katy Baldwin and musician Ben Childs to discuss the bitter death of a pop culture Frankenstein's monster known as The Monkees in Bob Rafelson's counter cultural dissection of fame, identity, and the emerging schizophrenic digestion of television that is the band film Head (1968)

In the sixteenth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and activist Kerry Harwin to discuss the opulent world building of Luc Besson's ode to comic book color and science-fiction grandeur in the flamboyant, gender-bending, and archetype subverting space opera centering around the mythic battle between good and evil that is The Fifth Element (1997).
