    Nicolas Cage & Brendan Gleeson on Spider-Noir: Marvel’s Darkest Spider-Man Yet

    Spider-Man. Nicolas Cage. Film noir. Brendan Gleeson. Spider-Noir. A black-and-white detective story wrapped inside a Marvel universe. Yeah, we’re doing that this week. On this episode of Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, I sit down with Nicolas Cage and Brendan Gleeson to talk all about Prime Video’s Spider-Noir, the stylish new live-action series based on one of the coolest Spider-Man variants ever created. Nic shares how Spider Noir became one of the rare projects that turned out exactly the way he imagined it, the artistic influences behind his performance and which one of his iconic characters he’d throw into Spider Noir’s world just to watch the chaos unfold. Brendan Gleeson joins me to discuss stepping into the role of Silvermane, why he decided to reinvent the character for this version of the story, working alongside Nicolas Cage and what makes Spider-Noir feel so different from traditional superhero fare. Plus, I make my case for why you should absolutely watch the series in authentic black and white. I’m not saying I’m right… but I’m right. If you’re a Spider-Man fan, a Nicolas Cage fan, a Brendan Gleeson fan, a noir fan or just someone who misses when comic book adaptations took weird creative swings, this episode is for you. Let’s go.

    Leo Woodall (Tuner); John Krasinski & Michael Kelly (Jack Ryan: Ghost War)

    In this episode of Pop Culture Weekly, Kyle McMahon sits down with Leo Woodall to discuss Tuner and John Krasinski and Michael Kelly stop by to talk their new movie, Jack Ryan: Ghost War.  First up, Kyle talks with one of the most exciting actors working today: Leo Woodall (The White Lotus, One Day). They break down his intense, anxiety-inducing new psychological thriller, Tuner. We dive deep into the fine line between an extraordinary gift and a total curse, what it’s actually like to pretend to be a safe-cracker on camera, and why his character's moral compass is firmly in the gray zone. Then, it's full-blown spy mode. The man himself, John Krasinski, and the fan-favorite Michael Kelly stop by to talk about their brand-new action-packed Prime Video film, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War. John opens up about writing a script that feels just a little too ripped from tomorrow’s headlines, the complex evolution of Jack Ryan from analyst to action hero, and whether there are more stories left to tell in this universe. Plus, Michael Kelly defends Mike November's new wardrobe choice... yes, we're talking about the neckerchiefs.It’s an episode full of safe-cracking, spy games, yacht rock debates, and classic pop culture chaos.

    Summer Movie Season 2026 Looks INSANE (ft Jacqueline Coley)

    Summer movie season 2026 is here and it's like Hollywood looked at the release calendar and chose violence. This week on Pop Culture Weekly, Rotten Tomatoes editor and Scene on the Screen host Jacqueline Coley joins me to break down the absolutely stacked, mildly chaotic, and potentially billion-dollar-filled summer movie lineup. We’re talking Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Spielberg’s new alien movie Disclosure Day, Toy Story 5, horror movies born from internet lore, the return of theatrical re-releases, and why movie theaters might actually be having a major comeback moment. We also get into: • Which movies could completely dominate the summer • The surprise titles nobody should underestimate • Why fandoms are basically running Hollywood now • The future of blockbuster movies • Why some sequels crash and burn while others explode • And why I will absolutely continue defending terrible movies if they entertain me enough Plus, Jacqueline explains why “the summer box office season is nicheifying,” which honestly sounds fake but is somehow completely accurate. If you love movies, movie theaters, pop culture chaos, or just hearing two film nerds spiral about the future of Hollywood for an hour, this episode is for you.

    David Oyelowo on Newborn, Aaron Eckhart on Deep Water & Madonna’s Huge Return

    This week on Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, we are diving deep into storytelling, humanity, survival and Madonna continuing to remind everyone she’s Madonna. First, I talk with Oscar-nominated actor David Oyelowo about his powerful new film Newborn, the emotional reality of isolation and solitary confinement, why Selma somehow became even more relevant with time and why he intentionally chooses roles that scare him creatively. We also talk streaming, global storytelling and the responsibility art has to reflect the world around us. Then Aaron Eckhart joins me to discuss his intense new film Deep Water, why every great movie is really about relationships, the psychology of human behavior and what makes acting feel truly real. Honestly, this conversation got way more philosophical than I expected - in the best possible way. PLUS: The lineup for the 2026 National Memorial Day Concert, Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter at Coachella, “Bring Your Love” dominating globally, Confessions 2 officially launching us into another Madonna era, and why trying to keep up with her at this point should qualify as cardio.

    Rose Byrne & Dominic Sessa on the Wild & True Story of Tow

    A $21,634 tow bill sounds like the setup to a joke… until you realize it actually happened. Best Actress Academy Award nominee Rose Byrne and Dominic Sessa talk their new film, Tow. On this episode of Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, we’re diving into Tow - the unbelievable true story of Amanda Ogle, a woman who found herself trapped in bureaucratic chaos after a tow bill spiraled completely out of control. (And yes, you will absolutely start side-eyeing every tow truck you see after this.) I’m joined by director Stephanie Laing, along with stars Rose Byrne and Dominic Sessa, to talk about turning this wild real-life story into something emotional, human, and honestly… infuriating. We get into the resilience behind the story, the surprising hope at its core, and how one person deciding to fight back can actually make a difference. It’s one of those stories that feels too crazy to be real - except it is. So buckle up… and maybe double check where you park.

    Bill Moseley & Lin Shaye are Scared to Death; Slanted Cast talk Body Horror & Satire

    In this episode of  Pop Culture Weekly, we’re diving into two very different  but equally fascinating  corners of pop culture: sharp social body horror satire and good old-fashioned horror mayhem as Kyle McMahon is joined by Scared to Death horror legends Lin Shaye and Bill Moseley and Slanted's writer / director Amy Wang and stars Shirley Chen, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan & Amelie Zilber.  First up, Kyle sits down with the stars and creators of the bold new film Slanted. Joining him are Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Never Have I Ever), Amelie Zilber, Shirley Chen, and writer/director Amy Wang. They talk about how the film uses biting satire to explore identity, race, and the kinds of uncomfortable conversations that the best art refuses to avoid. Then we head straight into horror territory with two absolute legends. Bill Moseley (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, House of 1000 Corpses) and the incomparable Lin Shaye (Insidious, Kingpin) join  to talk about their new horror-comedy Scared to Death. They get into their incredible careers, why audiences can’t get enough of monsters and the emotional truth that makes a great horror movie stick with you long after the credits roll. It’s thoughtful, funny, a little creepy and  there are definitely a few fanboy moments along the way.
