Behind the Reel: A Conversation with Kyle Weingart & Cast

In this episode of Should You Watch This with the Popcorn Priest, we continue our Behind the Reel series with a conversation about the making of ‘Cuisine de la 'Pocalypse’. Joined by director Kyle Weingart, actor Zuzu Weingart, and lead actor Kevin Jack, we talk about the origins of the story, collaboration on set, performance, tone, and the creative risks that come with independent filmmaking.

This is not a traditional review — it’s a behind-the-scenes look at how the film came together, what the cast and crew hoped to explore, and what they want audiences to take away after watching.

🎬 A thoughtful, honest conversation about process, storytelling, and the art of making movies.
