    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. Listen to the cast of The Senior discuss the new movie or watch the interviews via YouTube: Michael Chiklis and Mike Flynt here, and Rob Corddry and Mary Stuart Masterson 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.

    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.

    Sabrina Impacciatore on The Paper, Carrying the Weight of The Office, and Doing the Worm

    Sabrina Impacciatore showed up to The Paper — the long-awaited return to the world birthed by The Office — like a heat-seeking comet, all glamour, sharp elbows, and survival instinct. She spoke with Kyle Meredith about stepping into a franchise with generations of fans and finding the funny even when the stakes feel like a barbell on your shoulders. She calls the weight a motivator, not a burden, and her character of Esmeralda arrives fully charged: vintage-star hair, weaponized nails, and a don’t-look-down ambition that keeps the newsroom whirring. Listen now. Impacciatore laughs now about the terror of those early table reads, admitting “My legs under the table were shaking." She adds that she "didn’t understand what was going on” through the language haze -- but the nerves didn’t dull the commitment. Case in point: the soon-to-be infamous “worm” moment. “Why don’t we shoot me doing the worm?” she pitched, only to discover the worm is an ’80s break-dance move that she absolutely didn't know how to do. A midnight YouTube cram session later, she arrived on set, launched into it, and swears she delivered “the best worm in the history of worms,” just as the director tells her that it was only a rehearsal take. We get to see the bloody knees version. Listen to Sabrina Impacciatore or watch it on YouTube chat about all this and more. 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.

    Lzzy Hale on Halestorm’s Everest, 30 Years of Rock, and the Brilliance of Nick Cave

    Lzzy Hale of Halestorm spoke with Kyle Meredith about Everest, the band’s roaring new record born from a “desert island” headspace in Savannah with Dave Cobb. Nearly three decades into their run, Hale framed the album as a live-wire snapshot instead of a genre exercise: big melodies, bigger punches, and zero interest in coloring inside the lines. It’s the sound of a band refusing to calcify. Listen now. “We were writing and recording in real time,” Hale says, describing how the band ditched old riffs and notebooks to chase whatever felt electric that day. That gamble paid off on “Watch Out,” where a 4:00 a.m. voice-note flipped the entire track: “Dave’s like, ‘That’s the chorus — screw the other part.’” She also lit up at the mention of Nick Cave, praising the way he can drop a single word — like sin — and suddenly the song carries a new kind of gravity. “He’s one of those rare, once-in-a-lifetime artists who can be otherworldly and still completely genuine," she says. "There’s this balance he mastered long ago that I really admire.” Listen to Lzzy Hale of Halestorm or watch it on YouTube chat about all this and more. You can also grab tickets to Halestorm's upcoming tour here.

    David Rysdahl on Alien Earth, Big Monsters, and Working with Noah Hawley

    David Rysdahl sat down with Kyle Meredith to dig into FX’s Alien: Earth, the latest installment of the Alien franchise. Known for roles in Fargo and Oppenheimer, Rysdahl steps into a story that uses sci-fi horror as a Trojan horse for bigger questions — AI, environmental collapse, corporate greed, even the messy question of whether humanity deserves to stick around. Listen to the conversation now. For Rysdahl, working again with creator Noah Hawley after Fargo meant playing more than just a scientist — he was embodying a piece of Hawley himself. “I do feel like I’m playing a part of Noah,” he tells Meredith. “Arthur is the conscience and the heart of Alien: Earth. Wayne in Fargo was that for his family, and Arthur is that in this story. Both are idealists who have their faith and their world shaken.” He laughed about Hawley sending him a one-line email — “You want to come to Thailand?” — and knew right then he was back in the deep end. That deep end, of course, comes with the Alien franchise’s weight and a modern spin on terror. Rysdahl admitted the show made him rethink the present just as much as the fictional future.
