    Malcolm in the Middle S3E19 - Clip Show

    It's Oops All Clips this week. And by clips they of course mean cold opens. Lois, we miss you doll. ^^ Complete nonsense sentence to anyone not familiar with S3E19 of Malcolm in the Middle. Ryan and Willa are stepping it UP and recording DOWN in Gotham Production Studios this week and for all weeks to come. It's about damn time we actually look good and sound even better. Willa calls this episode of Malcolm "their most psychological yet" and then immediately backs down. But there is psychology goin' around thanks to guest star Andy "Daly" Richter. Ryan makes at least 2 major mistakes this episode, bonus points if people can point out more in the comments! Love you all; we were incredibly saddened to hear about Hayden Panettiere's passing this week and want to acknowledge her fantastic contribution to this wonderful show we all adore. 3 This show is part of the Gotham Network, you can record your podcast at gothamproductionstudios.com

    Malcolm in the Middle S3E18 - Poker #2

    Royal flush (poker term)!! Today on YNM, Willa and Ryan discuss Season 3's "Poker #2," a sequel to the classic Ken Kwapis joint "Poker" from earlier this season! And like every sequel to a perfect object, there's a high bar to clear. Do they do it? Look... I don't know. No. Is that what you want to hear? But it's a fun episode anyway! And a totally bizarre one! Malcolm fires a live pistol into his family home and nearly kills Abe! Willa and I are sort of all over the place this ep, but in fairness it was 1000 degrees when we recorded it. Please enjoy! Recorded at Gotham Production Studios in Manhattan.

    Eric Nenninger on Why Cadet Eric's Life Was Absolute Hell

    This week, the siblings (us) got to talk to one of our absolute favorite Malcolm in the Middle actors: Eric Nenninger. He plays none other than Cadet Eric Hanson, a sensitive yet misguided boy who is unfortunately linked to one of humanity's most desperate creatures: Francis. We had a hoot chatting with Eric about his time on Malcolm, and what it was like to return to the show that shaped him. Finally we get to the bottom of questions like: is Francis popular? Why is Eric in military school? Have you seen the Bernard Unit in person? This and so much more in our exclusive interview with Eric Nenninger. Big thanks to Eric for taking the time to chat with us!! ENJOY. This podcast is part of the Gotham Network. Record your podcast at gothamproductionstudios.com

    Malcolm in the Middle Composer Talks Iconic Soundtrack, Candyman, and They Might Be Giants

    Today on Yes No Maybe we are joined by the illustrious CHARLES SYDNOR, the composer and music editor for Malcolm in the Middle. This episode is focused on two things: NUTS. AND BOLTS. We get into the specifics of Charlie’s job, working with They Might Be Giants, arranging the iconic Candyman sequence, and conceptualization/execution of a personal favorite episode, OPERA. Charlie gives insight into the music department of MitM, working with Linwood, and how the whole dang sausage is made. This is a pretty special, very nerdy episode of Yes No Maybe and we had such a great time chatting with Charlie. Check out Charlie’s current music under the name Maxi Waterbear!

    Malcolm in the Middle S3E17- Dewey's Dog

    Dewey's Dog. Dewey is Dog. Dog is Dewey. Dewey is God. You understand? We don't. Willa and Ryan tackle, but fail to push over, episode 17 of season 3. A fantastic ep that reminds us just how horrible Reese and Malcolm can be, and just how good a dog can stink. Hal and Lois attempt to rekindle the spark in their marriage that was brutally extinguished by Hal saying the all-too-common phrase "bye guy" and SPANGLER returns one last time to seek revenge on the insolent Francis. Writers Glouberman and Orenstein knock it out of the park and director Bob Stevens puts the cherry on top. Mmm cake. 3 you all, love you Marshmallow, and Ohhh Hallll This podcast is a part of the Gotham Network. Record your podcast at Gothamproductionstudios.com

Meanwhile, Willa and Ryan get into such topics AS playing imaginary, Willa's inability to freestlye, our family therapist Bob, and SO MUCH MORE! really fun ep.

    INTERVIEW: Ken Kwapis Returns! (Director)

    The Kwap is back. And this time? It's personal. Well, this time it's about the revival and we can talk spoilers, but potato potahto. Ken Kwapis is the legendary director of classic Malcolm eps like Hal Quits, If Boys Were Girls, Family Reunion... the hits keep coming. Which is exactly why he was tapped to direct the Malcolm in the Middle Revival series Life's Still Unfair. We recorded this interview a few weeks after the Revival dropped, so we were able to dig deep into the storylines with Ken. This is the cherry on top of our Revival-Palooza: getting to talk to the man who directed the return of this series and who has such a profound connection to the world of Malcolm. I'll say it in this podcast description for the whole world to see, We're in love with Ken Kwapis. Thank you to Ken for chatting and to Jeff for organizing this epic sequel. We hope you all enjoy!

Today the sibs discuss a great episode of MitM -- written by friend of the pod Alex Reid, no less -- which has a KILLER cold open and follows it up with a pretty damn strong episode.
