    The Script’s Danny O’Donoghue on Touring with Pink, Zero Gravity, and Guerilla Gigs

    Danny O’Donoghue is in good spirits as he catches up with Kyle Meredith, juggling tea, talk of Irish bars, and tales from the road. The Script frontman has spent much of 2024 playing to stadium-sized crowds while opening for Pink, squeezing in intimate guerrilla gigs at small pubs and diving into urban exploration on days off. He joins the podcast to talk Satellites, the band’s first record in five years and their first since the tragic loss of guitarist Mark Sheehan in 2022. Touring has provided serves as both a source of escape and inspiration. While opening for Pink, The Script has been turning stadium nights into three-part marathons: the main gig, a follow-up show at a local bar, and sometimes even a radio set in between. On days off, O’Donoghue finds creative outlets in places like Detroit’s urban ruins or a science center’s planetarium, where they filmed a makeshift music video under simulated starlight. “You’ve got to keep busy, or the road will occupy you,” he explains. You can catch more of The Script on the road next year in the EU, UK, Australia, and beyond by getting tickets here. As Satellites signals a new chapter, O’Donoghue acknowledges the weight of time. “Most of the bands we came up with aren’t around anymore,” he says. But rather than feeling like a survivor, he sees it as a testament to hard work. “Music can unlock the deepest of feelings,” O’Donoghue says. “It’s the best way I know to keep going.” Listen to Danny O’Donoghue chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.

    Judith Light, Courtney Taylor & Richard Curtis on the Empathy and Magic of Out Of My Mind & That Christmas

    What do you get when you pair an animated holiday tale with a heartfelt story about overcoming barriers? Two wildly different but deeply resonant films that remind us of the power of connection. This holiday season, Richard Curtis (Love Actually, About Time) brings us That Christmas on Netflix, while Judith Light (Who's the Boss?, The Menu) and Courtney Taylor (Abbott Elementary, Insecure) star in Disney+’s Out of My Mind. Both projects dive into themes of love, understanding, and the occasional mistake — be it Santa’s or our own — and all three filmmakers talk with Kyle Meredith about them. Curtis says That Christmas started as bedtime stories for his kids. Starring Brian Cox as a slightly flawed but lovable Santa Claus, the film is equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, with intertwined narratives reminiscent of Curtis's Love Actually. Meanwhile, Out of My Mind tackles a different kind of connection. Based on the bestselling novel by Sharon M. Draper, the film follows Melody Brooks, a sixth-grader with cerebral palsy who uses a wheelchair and is nonverbal. Light and Taylor play crucial roles in Melody’s life, offering advocacy and understanding as Melody challenges societal limitations. Listen to the cast of Out of My Mind chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube here and here. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.

    Cruel Intentions Is Back, and Claire Forlani and John Tenney Have All the Secrets

    It’s been 25 years since Cruel Intentions turned manipulation into an art form, and now the series adaptation on Prime Video is ready to twist the knife even further. Claire Forlani (Meet Joe Black, Mallrats) and Jon Tenney (Scandal, The Closer) step into this world of privilege and deceit, bringing their own sharp edges to characters who thrive on power games. The pair spoke with Kyle Meredith about their roles, their inspirations, and the ongoing allure of a story that just won’t let go. Forlani, who hadn’t seen the original 1999 film, leaned on 1988's Dangerous Liaisons for her take on Claudia, a mother whose icy ambition extends beyond her daughter’s life to her stepson’s. Tenney, as Congressman Russell, added a layer of humanity to the narrative, exploring the fraught father-son relationship central to his character’s arc. Forlani also shares her thoughts on Mallrats 2, Kevin Smith’s long-teased sequel. As for Tenney, his recent stint on And Just Like That… left us wondering if his character might pop back up.

    John Waters on "Punk Rock Christmas," Serial Mom, and Liarmouth

    The Pope of Trash himself John Waters joins Kyle Meredith to dive into his enduring holiday-themed spoken word tours, his provocative take on Christmas traditions, 1994's Serial Mom, the unmade Liarmouth adaptation, and the irreverent artistry that's defined his career. Waters, who has been delighting (and shocking) audiences with his Christmas tours for over a decade, promises fresh material every year. (Get tickets to this December's run of shows here!) His approach combines biting social commentary with festive absurdity — this year’s show reportedly includes advice on "how to talk dirty using only Christmas words." Ever irreverent, Waters embraces the traditional in his own subversive way: "I don’t have a tree. I decorate the electric chair from Female Trouble." Waters continues to break boundaries with his work, most recently releasing a delightfully bizarre holiday single on Sub Pop Records. The B-side, "Punk Rock Christmas," is a spoken word piece blending his trademark wit with biting cultural critique, while the A-side, a cover of The Singing Dogs’ "Jingle Bells," takes holiday kitsch to an absurd, joyful extreme. Despite his many creative endeavors, Waters has faced roadblocks with his long-awaited film adaptation of his novel Liarmouth. "Aubrey Plaza was ready to star, I wrote the script, and they loved it," he explains, but securing a budget has proved elusive. Waters, ever pragmatic, acknowledges that studio leadership changes quickly, leaving room for hope that the project might still see the light of day.

    Tori Amos on Hope, Change, Courage, Little Earthquakes, and Her Unmistakable Creations

    This week’s Rewind looks back at a trio of interviews with Tori Amos. Listen to the selections, which span from 2017 to 2021, now. The first interview runs it back to 2017, when Amos had just released her fifteenth LP, Native Invader. It's an album that was written in the wake of Trump’s 2016 presidential inauguration and the conversation spotlights environmental concerns, her Native American ancestry, and the political landscape backed with sweeping piano runs and slicing guitar solos. From there, travel to 2020, when the icon delivered her memoir, Resistance: A Songwriter's Story of Hope, Change, and Courage. Amos discusses the responsibility to speak out, how call-to-action songs find their way, and the difference in how her lyrics can be interpreted in reading and speaking versus within a finished song. We then arrive in 2021 for a conversation about Amos' album Ocean to Ocean. The Artist also talks about fan expectations and connecting back to 1992’s Little Earthquakes as a way to heal.

    Martin Kove on Cobra Kai, Karate Kid, Comics, and Westerns

    Martin Kove joins Kyle Meredith to reflect on an extraordinary career that spans over 50 years in Hollywood, from memorable guest spots on Gunsmoke, Kojak, and Charlie's Angels to his definitive role as the unrelenting John Kreese in The Karate Kid franchise and its Netflix sequel series, Cobra Kai. Kove describes the evolution of Kreese as a character who began as the ultimate antagonist but has grown into a nuanced figure with layers of vulnerability. "I'd rather cry on camera than beat someone up," Kove says of his approach to playing the tough-guy roles that made him famous. With Cobra Kai’s upcoming final episodes, Kove teases moments of redemption for Kreese, a man forced to reconcile his rigid worldviews with the lessons life has thrown at him. As for his involvement in the upcoming Karate Kid: Legends movie starring Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan, Kove remains in the dark. "Very few of us were privy to anything of what this movie's even about," he says, before recalling how he was invited to the set of the Will Smith-produced 2010 remake starring Chan and Jaden Smith. But Kove has other passions as well; as a lifelong Western aficionado, he's interested in reviving the genre for modern audiences. "Kids today don't have heroes like Eastwood or Wayne," he laments, discussing his upcoming projects, including a comic book and potential series centered on old-school values and morality.
