Kyle Meredith With...

Ride or Die starts with the best kind of best-friend problem: one of them is an international assassin and that’s not even the whole mess. Octavia Spencer, Hannah Waddingham, Tessa Coates, and Matt Miller talk with Kyle Meredith about the Prime Video series, from Waddingham finally getting to go full action star and Spencer digging into the friendship at the center of it, to Coates building a female action story that sends the assassin back for her best friend instead of the typical husband or kid. Miller gets into making eight episodes feel like one big globe-trotting movie, even if most of Europe was secretly Prague, while everyone circles the bigger win here of “women of a certain age” getting to be funny, complicated, dangerous, and completely in charge of the ride.

Kurt Vile and Kevin Morby both know how to make city songs feel lonely, funny, half-haunted, and still totally wide open. Vile talks with Kyle Meredith about 2016’s B'lieve I’m Goin Down, being cartooned into a stoner squirrel on HBO’s Animals, fame arriving one weird step at a time, and writing songs that leave room for everyone else to move in. Morby then discusses 2017’s City Music, turning New York isolation into fiction from out in Los Angeles, building “1234” out of the Ramones and Jim Carroll, and leaving bands behind so he could try on every suit that fit. Two songwriters chasing loose ends, street noise, and the next version of themselves.

Tori Amos talks with Kyle Meredith about In Times of Dragons, the concept record she built out of democracy cracking in real time, dangerous men behind the curtain, Celtic gods, witches, daughters, and the younger self who wrote "Silent All These Years." She also gets into writing fast, bringing Matt Chamberlain and John Evans back into the room, how her daughter Tash helped unlock the daughter’s role in the story, and why older records like Strange Little Girls can sneak back into the cupboard when the songs need the right ingredients. Heavy stuff, sure, but Tori still makes the dragon fight sound like a spell you can hum.

Jane Kaczmarek talks with Kyle Meredith about returning to Malcolm in the Middle for Life’s Still Unfair, reuniting with Bryan Cranston, and why Erik Per Sullivan deciding not to come back as Dewey might be the most quietly heroic thing of all. She also digs into The Boroughs, playing Alfred Molina’s wife for the fifth time, getting to die to "Thunder Road," and why this latest chapter has her thinking about love, theater, artichokes, Led Zeppelin, and the very real power of knowing when to say, “I’m good.”

A rom-com may promise the ending, but Joel Courtney and director Andy Delaney tell Kyle Meredith that 40 Dates and 40 Nights is really about everything that happens in between. Delaney talks about using the genre as a way to focus on “the micro,” leaning into character details, awkward moments, and real-life experiences pulled directly from writer Sarah Howard’s own dating history. Courtney discusses finding Mason’s grounded, relatable side and reveals that his own love story is something of a rarity, having ultimately married the only woman he ever seriously dated. The two also dive into the chemistry between Courtney and co-star Bailee Madison, the importance of authenticity over broad comedy, and why the film’s failed dates had to feel like real people instead of cartoons.
