Kate Siegel on V/H/S Beyond, Damned If You Do, Stephen King, and The Life of Chuck
Kate Siegel, known for her striking performances in horror in things like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, dives into new territory with her directorial debut in the latest V/H/S anthology, V/H/S/Beyond. The filmmaker/actor talks with Kyle Meredith about her part in the movie, as well as her new animated series Dark Corners, working with Stephen King, and Mike Flanagan’s upcoming adaptation of The Life of Chuck.Though Siegel initially declined the offer to direct V/H/S/Beyond, Flanagan, her husband and frequent collaborator, encouraged her to seize the opportunity. With her segment playing with themes of time, Siegel describes it as “both scientific and spiritual,” something she's also exploring in her upcoming project The Life of Chuck, her upcoming adaptation of the Stephen King story.King also serves as Siegel's screenwriting collaborator on the upcoming Dark Corners, an animated horror anthology aimed at young audiences. Inspired by her children’s growing curiosity about the genre, Siegel launched the project to provide age-appropriate chills without diluting the scare factor.Looking ahead, Siegel’s directing ambitions extend to complex, female-centered narratives that blend horror, fantasy, and philosophical exploration. “Weird, feminist, adult stories — that’s where I’m headed,” she explains, inspired by a mix of Guillermo del Toro, Terrence Malick, and Ridley Scott.Curious about what’s next for Kate Siegel as a director?

Kelsey Asbille and Finn Wittrock on Playing Paralyzed and a Psychopath in Don’t Move
In the new Netflix thriller Don’t Move, Kelsey Asbille and Finn Wittrock throw themselves into a brutal cat-and-mouse game of survival. The two actors talks with Kyle Meredith about the movie, as well as Asbille saying goodbye to Yellowstone and Wittock's upcoming roles. Listen now.Known for exploring sinister roles in shows like American Horror Story, Wittrock digs deep into the psyche of his character, crafting a villain who, he notes, believes he’s offering Iris a bizarre kind of release.Asbille and Wittrock also credit horror legend and producer Sam Raimi, who brought his distinct expertise to the set, particularly in capturing the stark isolation of the wilderness. Raimi, known for his iconic work in The Evil Dead, even traveled to Bulgaria to set the tone in the initial days of shooting, guiding the crew on how to turn their remote surroundings into an oppressive, almost otherworldly environment.For Asbille, the role marks a departure from her work on Yellowstone, pushing her to new extremes both emotionally and physically. For Wittrock, the film became a playground to explore his penchant for “evil eyes,” which, he laughs, he perfected during his training at Juilliard.Listen to Kelsey Asbille and Finn Wittrock chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

Rewind: John Cleese on Cats, Comedy, Monty Python, and BBC Cowards
On this archive episode of Kyle Meredith with..., Meredith rewinds to his conversation with John Cleese. The iconic comedian discusses his 2017 tour, various projects, and how he reflects on his life. Listen to the talk from the vault.Speaking about his then-upcoming Louisville appearance, he expressed appreciation for his American fans, who he finds kind and receptive — contrasting that with the treatment he often receives from the British press. Cleese also discussed his love for cats and his comedic journey, attributing his fascination with human psychology as a major influence in his work. The conversation also touched on Hold the Sunset, originally titled "Edith," which marked Cleese’s return to television after a long hiatus. He had some pointed words for BBC executives, lamenting their cautious approach in commissioning the show’s future despite positive feedback. The frustration he shared seemed to reflect his broader views on the evolving landscape of television, where executives, unlike those from his Monty Python days, often lack hands-on creative experience.Listen to John Cleese chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

Black Francis on Pixies' The Night the Zombies Came and Teenager of the Year's 30th Anniversary
Kyle Meredith catches up with Black Francis of Pixies to discuss their latest release, The Night the Zombies Came. The frontman also touches on the current touring landscape (they're on the road with Pearl Jam in Australia and New Zealand, and launch their EU/UK headlining tour next spring; get tickets here) and his 1994 solo album, Teenager of the Year. Listen now.Discussing the creative process behind The Night the Zombies Came, Black Francis dives into how certain themes, like the undead, seem to manifest organically in the studio. Rather than forcing a concept album or rock opera, he believes in allowing themes to arise naturally, creating a mood that’s more impressionistic than narrative-driven.Looking ahead, fans of his solo work have reason to celebrate as Francis is gearing up to tour for the 30th anniversary of Teenager of the Year under his Frank Black moniker. (The trek kicks off in January, and you can get tickets here.) Reflecting on that album, he recalls its chaotic, joyful recording process, marred by natural disasters and relocations but ultimately fueled by creative freedom.Listen to the Pixies' Black Francis chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

Rewind: Depeche Mode on Sci-fi Soundscapes, Covers, and a Spirit of Experimentation

Rewind: Depeche Mode on Sci-fi Soundscapes, Covers, and a Spirit of Experimentation
This week’s Rewind looks back at three separate interviews with the members of Depeche Mode. Listen to host Kyle Meredith chat with the new wave legends.In 2021, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore sat down separately to discuss their respective projects, offering a glimpse into Depeche Mode’s sonic evolution during an ever-changing world. Gahan’s collaboration with Soulsavers, Imposter, was an introspective dive into reinterpretation, exploring the deep connection between himself and songs from icons like Bob Dylan, Cat Power, and Elvis Presley. Gore’s solo effort, The Third Chimpanzee, took an entirely different path — an instrumental journey inspired by primal themes, sci-fi soundscapes, and a contemplative pandemic solitude.Then, in a 2017 interview, Andy Fletcher shared his thoughts on Depeche Mode’s album Spirit, a politically charged statement recorded at a moment when the world seemed especially polarized. Speaking candidly, Fletcher acknowledged that Trump’s election and Brexit had provided unexpected relevance to the record’s lyrics, even though the songs were written well before those events fully unfolded.Listen to Depeche Mode chat about all this and more in the new episode.

Maynard James Keenan & Les Claypool Celebrate 1,000 Episodes of Kyle Meredith With...
Kyle Meredith With... is celebrating its milestone 1,000th episode (!!) with an incredible two-guest episode. Host Kyle Meredith sits down with two of rock’s most unique minds, Les Claypool of Primus and Maynard James Keenan of Tool/Puscifer, for a conversation that quickly veers off into the kind of absurdity you might expect. The two rockers talk about thwarting crimes, performing in costumes, and sticky note "message boards" from the early Lollapalooza days. Listen now.Les and Maynard don't hold back on their shared history, recounting how their friendship began in the chaos of the '90s alternative rock scene, where bands like Primus, Tool, and Soundgarden rose as the "alternative" to the mainstream hair metal acts that dominated the airwaves. Their latest collaboration, the "Sessanta Tour" (get tickets to 2025's "Sessanta V2.0 Tour" here!), sees Primus, Puscifer, and Keenan's other band A Perfect Circle sharing the stage all at once. The frontmen joke that playing each other's songs sometimes feels like covering another band — one that comes with a steep learning curve. “It’s like we’re playing each other’s cover songs,” Maynard laughs, adding that the challenge of integrating into someone else’s music keeps them on their toes.As for what’s next, both musicians hint at new projects on the horizon. Claypool is still working with Sean Lennon on another Claypool Lennon Delirium album and has a half-finished project with bluegrass phenom Billy Strings. Keenan, ever elusive, mentions that he’s juggling multiple ideas, but as usual, it’s a matter of timing.Listen to Les Claypool and Tool’s Maynard James Keenan chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

The 10 Things I Hate About You actor expressed how much she enjoyed the catharsis of playing such a volatile character. Stiles also reflected on working with Graham, especially as both women have recently ventured into directing (Stiles' Wish You Were Here is currently in post production), and how they supported each other through the challenges of independent filmmaking.Reno 9-1-1 alum Lennon, who portrays one of Ann’s best friends in Chosen Family, offered insight into his own philosophy on creating opportunities in Hollywood. “Waiting for permission from somebody is not something I’m big on,” he said, echoing Graham’s approach to forging her own path in the industry.Listen to the cast Chosen Family chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube here, here, and here.

Colin Greenwood on His Photography, Nick Cave, and Radiohead’s Reunion

Colin Greenwood on His Photography, Nick Cave, and Radiohead’s Reunion
Speaking with Kyle Meredith, Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood opens up about his new photography book, How To Disappear: A Photographic Portrait of Radiohead, which captures the band’s journey from 2003’s Hail to the Thief to 2016’s A Moon Shaped Pool. The book offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at Radiohead, a band known for its mystique, and includes personal photos interspersed with words of reflection on the band’s middle years—years when they were neither in their initial rocket to fame nor at a point of nostalgia. Greenwood credits Nick Cave for helping him frame the concept of the book, finding beauty in the “middle years” of a band’s career, when they’re just getting on with business, far from the sensationalism of early success or later decline. The bassist jokes about the band’s reluctance to be photographed but reflects on how supportive his bandmates were of his passion for photography. The book’s influences include famed photographers like Gary Winogrand and Robert Frank, and Greenwood talks about how he tried to emulate their documentary style in his own work, capturing the candid moments of band life. The interview delves into the band’s creative process, particularly how the environments they recorded in influenced their sound, from haunted 15th-century manor houses during OK Computer to derelict country estates for In Rainbows. Greenwood recounts how the physical spaces became part of the album’s DNA, lending atmosphere and reverb to their iconic sound. Greenwood also reflects on his bass-playing origins, his love for classic soul music, and the powerful influence of American culture on the band’s music. He mentions his recent work with Nick Cave, playing bass on Cave’s new album, and how the band’s hiatus allowed him to explore other creative avenues. As Radiohead approaches its 40th anniversary, Greenwood hints that the band recently reunited for a jam session and is excited about what’s next, though he’s careful not to reveal too much about their future plans.Listen to Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

The Offspring on Supercharged, 30 Years of Smash, and Jamming with Brian May, Ed Sheeran, and YUNGBLUD
The Offspring are back with a brand new album, Supercharged, arriving October 11th, just three years after their previous effort, Let the Bad Times Roll. That's quite an upgrade from the nine-year gap between 2012's Days Go By and Bad Times, and the band's Dexter Holland and Noodles tell Kyle Meredith about the momentum they’ve found and why Supercharged feels like their most energetic release in years. Listen now.With Supercharged arriving just as the band hits their 40th anniversary and their classic Smash marks its 30th, Dexter and Noodles acknowledge the incredible longevity of their career. They’ve even dusted off the entirety of Smash for live shows this year. “It’s always fun to bring those old songs back to life,” says Noodles. Dexter agrees while reflecting on the band's continuation. “This isn’t just a means to get back on tour — this is a serious album for us.”The band has also had the opportunity to collaborate with legends and fresh faces alike. Dexter speaks enthusiastically about their recent performance with Brian May of Queen.

Bryan Ferry on Roxy Music’s Beginnings, Punk Rock, and Reuniting with Brian Eno
This week's Rewind takes listeners back to 2018, when Roxy Music’s Bryan Ferry joined Kyle Meredith to reflect on the band’s self-titled debut album, revisiting the demos, vaulted outtakes, and the youthful energy that shaped the iconic record. Listen to the archival interview now.Ferry fondly recalls the excitement of being in the studio for the first time, experimenting with various musical styles and the collage-like approach that defined Roxy Music's early sound. He discusses how the punk rock movement, which followed just a few years later, echoed the wild abandon of Roxy Music’s early days, as well as how it felt like a generational shift. Ferry also touches on his desire to re-record some of his older songs, inspired by his love for jazz greats like Charlie Parker, who would often revisit the same material throughout their careers. He explains how reworking tracks from different angles — whether acoustically, with an orchestra, or with a fresh perspective — can been a rewarding way to explore his catalog. Ferry expresses a continued interest in collaborating with former Roxy Music bandmate Brian Eno, citing their brief yet impactful work on For Your Pleasure as a high point. Though their busy schedules haven’t aligned yet, Ferry remains hopeful for a future collaboration. He also shares a personal moment of loss, reflecting on the passing of peers like David Bowie and his own beloved dog, Bobby, which has heightened his sense of urgency to continue creating as much as possible.Listen to Roxy Music’s Bryan Ferry chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

Alycia Debnam-Carey, Gavin Leatherwood, and Brittany O’Grady on It’s What’s Inside, Body Swapping, and Chaos
When it comes to genre twists, It’s What’s Inside doesn’t disappoint. The new Netflix film presents a dark take on the body-swap formula, turning a pre-wedding celebration into a spiraling existential nightmare. The film's stars Brittany O’Grady, Gavin Leatherwood, and Alycia Debnam-Carey join Kyle Meredith to untangle the identity-based chaos of the flick. Listen to the cast talk about That's What's Inside now.The actors share how they managed to ground their characters amidst all the chaos. O’Grady turned to music for inspiration, citing artist Jensen McRae as a key influence for her portrayal of Shelby. “Jensen’s music is hauntingly beautiful. It felt like reading a diary out loud, which really helped me tap into Shelby’s emotions,” she explains. Debnam-Carey mentions how she leaned into social media influences to shape her character, Nikki, who was steeped in the superficiality of influencer culture. “It was almost disturbingly easy to tap into that world,” she admits with a smile.Leatherwood, for his part, found himself drawing inspiration from a very real-life source for his role, though he declined to name names out of respect. “I followed this person’s Instagram to understand their personality, and it even changed my daily routine,” he says.Listen to Alycia Debnam-Carey, Gavin Leatherwood, and Brittany O’Grady chat about all of this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

Mastodon’s Troy Sanders on Crack The Skye, Lamb of God, and Their Next Album

Mastodon’s Troy Sanders on Crack The Skye, Lamb of God, and Their Next Album
Troy Sanders of Mastodon (someone Consequence dubbed one of the Best Bassists of All Time!) sits down with Kyle Meredithto reflect on celebrating the 20th anniversary of Leviathan on their recent co-headlining tour with Lamb of God — a tour that felt like a reunion of old friends. Listen now.Boldness is something Mastodon knows well. When they dropped Leviathan, a conceptual metal album built around Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, it was an all-in risk that could have sunk them. Instead, it blew open the doors. “It was a leap, but we truly believed in it,” Sanders says. The reward for that leap? Crack the Skye — a sprawling, astral concept album that took things even further. The record, which is getting a 15th anniversary edition, brought in a mix of astral projection, Rasputin, and personal heartbreak to create something that straddled the line between concept and catharsis.Now that the Leviathan tour is behind them, Sanders is looking ahead to new material, including the recently released collaboration with Lamb of God, "Floods of Triton." “We’ve got a lot of loose demos, and we’re ready to dive in. Nothing is off-limits,” he adds, smiling at the thought of what’s next. For Mastodon, there’s no formula — just the thrill of finding the next creative edge and jumping in headfirst.Listen to Mastodon's Troy Sanders chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

Vernon Reid on MC5, Wayne Kramer, and Living Colour’s Next Album
Vernon Reid of Living Colour joins Kyle Meredith to talk about his feature on the final MC5 album, Heavy Lifting, as well as his side projects and what's next for Living Colour. Listen now.Reid has always been a guitar powerhouse, and his contribution to MC5's “Can’t Be Found” channels exactly what you’d expect: energy, intensity, and thoughtfulness. Reid describes his connection to Wayne Kramer, the MC5 frontman who passed away earlier this year, as deeper than just rock music.For Heavy Lifting, Reid says, “Wayne told me to just do me. And that’s what I did.” His guitar parts, full of high-octane tones and a few “high octave overtone madness” moments, are Reid at his most raw, creative, and unapologetically honest. He admits that the initial takes were the ones used, a common tale among great artists: sometimes the magic happens early, before overthinking sets in.Living Colour, meanwhile, is celebrating their 40th anniversary, and even starting on new music. Reid talks about their evolving comfort as a band: “We’ve learned to get out of the way of what we create together. It still means something to each of us, and I think our audiences feel that.”Listen to Vernon Reid of Living Colour chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

James Bay Wants to Start a Supergroup with The Lumineers and Noah Kahan
James Bay is four albums deep into a career that could’ve seen him settle into the comfortable realm of “indie-darling-goes-commercial.” But, as he tells Kyle Meredith, instead of coasting along, he’s hitting the gas pedal. His latest release, Changes All the Time, might be his most vulnerable and revealing yet. The album’s title says it all — it’s about embracing change, for better or worse. The folk-rock icon dives deep on the new album, so listen now.Bay knows the balancing act well: How far can you push your sound without alienating your fans? “I’ve learned to keep testing boundaries,” he admits. “Sometimes I push them more for me, but this time it’s about connecting with what my fans love.” For Bay, it’s about finding the sweet spot between what excites him and what resonates with the people who have stuck by him.As for being part of the scene with artists like The Lumineers and Noah Kahan? He couldn't be happier. In fact, he's ready to join forces. “I’d love to do something like a supergroup tour,” Bay grins. “If they ever get bored of their massive success, I’m ready.”Bay also has several tour dates lined up in Europe and you can get tickets here.Listen to James Bay chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.
