David Alan Grier joins Kyle Meredith to talk about his work in the latest film version of The Color Purple, as well as working alongside Eddie Murphy for the first time in 30 years in the recently released Candy Cane Lane. The comedy and drama legend tells us how, early on, he based the rhythm of his career off of what he saw Michael Keaton doing in the 80s, what it was like getting to play Santa Claus in the Prime Video film, and the uncomfortable clock costume he wore in the live-on-stage version of Beauty & The Beast. Grier then digs into his role in The Color Purple, a story he had auditioned twice for in the past for the original 1985 film as well as the Broadway version. Grier discusses portraying Shug’s dad, the Rev. Samuel Avery, and what it's like to record the music before acting the role. We also get to hear about joining the cast of A Soldier’s Play for the 3rd time and his next movie, The American Society of Magical Negroes.Listen to David Alan Grier chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.

Michiel Huisman joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon, which features a colony on the edge of the galaxy that finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical government, who then dispatch a young woman with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them take a stand. Huisman, who’s spent time in Game of Thrones and The Haunting of Hill House, discusses what it means to act inside of a space opera, finding his “simple farmer” character, and what it's like to act for Zack Snyder. The actor goes on to talk about not getting overwhelmed by the scope of the story, having fun off-camera, and acting opposite Ed Skrein, who he famously replaced in Game of Thrones.This month, we’re on a mission to spread the word about Kyle Meredith W... far and wide, and you’re our secret weapon.

The singer-songwriter tells us about getting a call from fellow nominee Noah Kahan after hearing the news, how she now hears the record after touring it for a year, and why this set of songs was so much more personal than her earlier work.

Niousha Noor joins Kyle Meredith to talk about The Persian Version. The film, loosely based on Maryam Keshavarz’s life, also stars Layla Mohammadi and tells the story of a young, gay Iranian-American woman who is often at odds with her family, particularly with her mother, and especially after getting pregnant from a one-night stand with a Hedwig and the Angry Inch actor. The actress discusses how the film focuses on an immigrant family in ways that we don’t usually get to see on screen and the combative relationship between the mother and daughter. Noor also tells us how music plays such a big part of the movie, from 80s pop to 2000s indie rock (Rostam Batmanglij was the music supervisor), how she was an N*SYNC fan back in the day, and that she recorded her own Persian version of Damien Rice’s “Under The Tongue” that she plans to release soon.This month, we’re on a mission to spread the word about Kyle Meredith W... far and wide, and you’re our secret weapon.

Nathan Stewart-Jarrett & Niamh Algar join Kyle Meredith to talk about their roles in the Disney Plus/Hulu series Culprits. The show focuses on a team of specialists who commit a heist, but unlike most movies of this genre, our story kicks off where most crime stories end: after a high-stakes heist, when the crew of elite criminals have gone their separate ways and have tried to leave their old lives behind. Past and present collide when a ruthless assassin starts targeting them one by one. Why are they being stalked, who is behind the mayhem, and will they be able to find one another in time to protect themselves and the people they love?The actors take us through why they loved the fresh take, but also the importance of the story of a queer family that Stewart-Jarrett’s character is trying to settle down and find normalcy within the aftermath of the crime. Algar also discusses the difficulty of tagging any of these people as good or bad and how she finds truth in her own complicated structure as The Specialist (aka Psycho), while Nathan also takes us inside playing what feels like two different characters, having his garbage truck scene filmed on and off nonstop throughout the whole shoot, and the story behind the masks they had to weird during the heist.This month, we’re on a mission to spread the word about Kyle Meredith W... far and wide, and you’re our secret weapon.

Erasure’s Vince Clarke joins Kyle Meredith to talk Songs of Silence, his very first solo album that finds the Erasure (and Depeche Mode and Yaz) legend pointing towards drone and ambient music. The synth-pop artist tells us how the record, almost an accident, came to be, taking inspiration from Blade Runner 2049, and why ambient music is having a real moment right now. Clarke goes on to discuss how his videos give the songs another dimension, adapting an old union folk song, a desire to work with Phillip Glass, and where they are with the next Erasure album.This month, we’re on a mission to spread the word about Kyle Meredith W... far and wide, and you’re our secret weapon.

Julia Michaels & Ben Rice join Kyle Meredith to discuss scoring Disney’s newest animated feature, Wish. The songwriting duo takes us behind the scenes of what it was like to not only land a Disney soundtrack but on the legendary studio’s 100th anniversary, with the backstory on what led to getting the call and the emotions that came with it. Michaels & Rice go on to tell us how they had to change their typical songwriting style in favor of writing for ensembles and imaginary characters, how they worked alongside composer Dave Mesker, and how they found the various styles used within each song. We also hear about creating songs “I’m A Star,” “Welcome To Rosas,” and “Knowing What I Know Now,” and what Michaels might be up to next.This month, we’re on a mission to spread the word about Kyle Meredith W... far and wide, and you’re our secret weapon.

Dorsey tells us how he got the part, finding his onscreen connection with Sebastian, and the fun of performing a Chuck Lorre script. The Queen Sugar actor also reminisces on what it was like to act opposite Charlie Sheen and ruining takes for the fun of it, but also discusses the dark side of addiction and how it is portrayed throughout each episode.

Stacey Kent joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Summer Me, Winter Me, her new album that collects songs fans had requested at her live show over the years but had never recorded. The jazz vocalist discusses how the rag-tag group of songs still makes up an album that flows, why she loves the ephemeral quality of playing live, and what new bits she found in these decades-old songs. Kent also tells us why she recorded two different versions of “Ne Me Quitte Pa”, the changes that “Postcard Lover” has gone through over the past decade, and why we love a waltz and a sad song.This month, we’re on a mission to spread the word about Kyle Meredith W... far and wide, and you’re our secret weapon.
