    Rewind: Colin Hay & Bruce Cockburn on Longevity, Loss, and Still Finding the Songs

    Kyle Meredith sat down with Colin Hay at both Bonnaroo 2012 and again in 2017, and with Bruce Cockburn that same year, to talk about the strange gifts of staying power. Hay reflected on turning his between-song stories into a comedy tent set, losing Men at Work bandmate Greg Ham while hitting the 30th anniversary of their debut, and how songs can always be reborn if you bring fresh energy. By 2017, he was releasing a new album alongside the documentary Waiting for My Real Life, talking about “songs from being a certain age,” dodging the idea of retirement, and why his past never really feels like the past. Cockburn, meanwhile, was celebrating his Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame induction and the release of Bone On Bone, sparked back into writing after a tribute to poet Al Purdy. He spoke on spirituality as the foundation of his politics, compassion as the throughline, and how even after 25 albums, he’s still chasing that next inspired idea. Together, the conversations capture two icons who refuse to coast on nostalgia—choosing instead to keep creating, keep touring, and keep searching for the next great song.

    Michael Chiklis, Mary Stuart Masterson & Rob Corddry on The Senior and Redefining Second Chances

    The cast of The Senior -- Michael Chiklis, Rob Corddry, and Mary Stuart Masterson -- along with the actual former football player the movie is based upon, Mike Flynt, join Kyle Meredith to talk about the film's wild-but-true story. The Senior follows Flynt as he becomes the older player to ever suit up for a college football team -- at the age of 59. Chiklis, who was also 59 when filming, talks about the physical toll of hitting the field, how he approached portraying a living person, and why this became one of the most meaningful projects of his career. Corddry and Masterson, who play Flynt's coach and wife, respectively, discuss finding unexpected emotional depth in their characters, navigating the real people behind the roles (including Eileen Flynt watching on set), and how the film explores masculinity, redemption, faith, and the long game of unfinished business. It’s a sports movie, sure — but one that trades cliché locker room speeches for something a lot more human.

    Willem Dafoe, Corey Hawkins, Anna Diop & Nadia Latif on The Man in My Basement

    Kyle Meredith talks with Willem Dafoe, Corey Hawkins, Anna Diop, and director Nadia Latif about turning Walter Mosley’s novel The Man in My Basement into a psychological thriller where race, trauma, and grief haunt every frame. The story follows Charles Blakey (Corey Hawkins), a man on the verge of losing his ancestral Sag Harbor home, who agrees to rent his basement to the mysterious Aniston Bennett (Willem Dafoe) for the summer—only to find himself pulled into a chilling reckoning with history, family ghosts, and the root of all evil. Dafoe digs into acting as “pretend” courage, why first days on set still terrify him, and how genre lets hard truths sneak up on an audience. Latif reflects on making her feature debut and weaving her own story of loss into Mosley’s text, while Hawkins details playing Charles’ transformation opposite Dafoe in a basement where time itself bends. Diop speaks to how horror and thriller connect with Black history in ways straight drama can’t. From prosaic lines that ring like bells (“People die every day”) to lighting tricks, skewed timelines, and even maggot wrangling, the team unpacks how The Man in My Basement becomes a story you can’t shake. Listen to Willem Dafoe, Corey Hawkins, and more of the cast of The Man in My Basement discuss the new film or watch the interviews 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.
