Pop Culture Weekly - Celebrity Interviews & Entertainment News Michelle Pfeiffer & Felicity Jones Gets Festive; Seann William Scott Gets Real

Seann William Scott, Michelle Pfeiffer, Felicity Jones… and my dog Blue barging in for a potty break. Yeah, this episode is stacked.
In this festive-yet-chaotic episode of Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, I kick things off with my buddy Seann William Scott, a.k.a. Stifler, who’s back to talk Season 2 of his Tim Allen sitcom Shifting Gears (now airing on ABC and streaming on Disney+ and Hulu). We get into everything from tortured Philadelphia Eagles fandom and awkward Thanksgiving family drama to what it’s really like shooting a multi-cam sitcom in front of a live studio audience. Seann talks about working with Tim Allen (yes, America’s TV dad), navigating punchlines around real-time audience laughter, the magic of shorter 13-episode seasons, and why this show feels like comfort-food TV that still lets him be home in time to pick up his daughter from school. He also teases his upcoming horror film Dolly, a brutal 16mm French-extremity-style shocker that horror fans are going to want on their radar.
Then we go full holiday mode with screen legends Michelle Pfeiffer and Felicity Jones, who join me to talk about their new Prime Video holiday dramedy Oh. What. Fun. Michelle opens up about why she signed on to the film, working with director Michael Showalter, and how the movie doubles as a love letter to overworked, underappreciated moms everywhere. Felicity shares how the mother - daughter dynamic in the film mirrors real life, why the story balances emotional truth with big, messy, laugh-out-loud moments, and what makes this holiday movie feel a little less “perfect snow globe” and a lot more “this is what my family actually looks like.” Watch Oh. What. Fun. on Prime Video here!
If you love celebrity interviews, holiday movies, sitcom deep dives, Shifting Gears, or just want to hear me quietly spiral about the fact that I just interviewed Michelle freakin’ Pfeiffer, this one’s for you.
