Steve Zahn & Audrey Zahn Turn Real Life Into Reel Emotion with She Dances

Steve Zahn and Audrey Zahn sit down with Kyle Meredith to talk about turning their real-life father-daughter dynamic—and years spent in the competitive dance world—into the heartfelt indie film She Dances. Drawing from Audrey’s upbringing in dance competitions and layering in a quiet but powerful story of grief, the two discuss how the film became a deeply personal family affair, even featuring cameos from their own relatives. They get into the chaos and camaraderie of dance culture, the decision to avoid broad comedy in favor of something more honest, and how their new production company is helping champion this kind of storytelling. It’s also a look at indie filmmaking finding its footing again, with Kentucky as the backdrop, and how sometimes the most intimate stories hit the hardest.Listen to Steve Zahn and Audrey Zahn chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. 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.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Marisa Tomei, Sherry Cola, Ciara Bravo, and Marco Pigossi all sit down with Kyle Meredith to talk about You’re Dating A Narcissist, a rom-com that keeps twisting the knife as it asks who’s actually the problem in modern relationships. Tomei gets into playing a psychology professor obsessed with spotting narcissists—while maybe missing her own tendencies—while Cola talks about the rare chance to play in a story where every woman gets a full arc and no one’s entirely right. Bravo brings the emotional center, caught between her mother and fiancé, while Pigossi leans into the ambiguity of a character who might be charming… or something else entirely. Along the way, they talk about reuniting after High Tide, the film’s three-year journey to release, Cola’s turn in Shrinking with Jessica Williams, and how this story plays like a mystery where your instincts keep flipping right up to the end.Listen to Marisa Tomei, Sherry Cola, Ciara Bravo and Marco Pigossi chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. 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.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Felicia Day sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about her new graphic novel, The Daughter Of Sparta, a feminist reimagining of Greek mythology inspired by a nearly forgotten figure with just one line in ancient texts. She traces the project back to pandemic-era insomnia, deep dives into mythology, and a desire to tell a story that Hollywood wouldn’t necessarily greenlight—leading her to embrace independence in a big way. Along the way, she opens up about identity, creative control, and the dangers of chasing approval over authenticity, themes that echo from her early work like The Guild to her Audible series Third Eye. Day also teases a Kickstarter-backed The Guild reunion movie for its 20th anniversary, plus new creative habits—from oil painting to learning Polish—that are shaping her next chapter.Listen to Felicia Day chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. 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.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The cast and creators of Outlander come together to talk with Kyle Meredith about Season 8 as the long-running series heads toward what might be its final chapter, with Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin reflecting on Brianna and Roger’s evolution—her finally coming into her own, him still searching for purpose—while admitting every new script came with that familiar “what are they going to do to us now?” feeling. Meanwhile, John Bell and Izzy Meikle Small discuss Young Ian stepping into fatherhood and Rachel becoming fully part of the Fraser’s Ridge family, along with the emotional weight of filming a season everyone knew could be the end. On the creative side, Matthew B Roberts and Maril Davis break down how to close out a decade-plus story without turning it into a “very special episode,” keeping things true to the show’s roots while still delivering payoff—and even upping the ante with Annie Lennox on the theme. And while there’s talk of closure, time travel rules still apply, meaning in the world of Outlander, the story might never really be finished.Listen to Tim Roth, Steven Knight and Tom Harper chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. 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.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ed O’Brien catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about his second solo album, Blue Morpho, a record born out of the isolation and emotional weight of the pandemic. Reflecting on how a “dark night of the soul” led to a daily practice of playing guitar without expectation, O’Brien explains how those raw moments became the foundation of the album’s songs, shaped further through collaboration with producer Paul Epworth. He also discusses the record’s deep connection to nature, the influence of writers like Wendell Berry, and how embracing rather than avoiding darkness led to something unexpectedly beautiful. Along the way, O’Brien looks back at Radiohead’s recent reunion tour, shares a story about the band’s very first gig in 1985, and considers how his solo work now sits alongside the “mothership” of the band, with both worlds continuing to evolve side by side.Listen to Ed O'Brien chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. 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.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Kyle Meredith sits down with Tim Roth, creator Steven Knight, and director Tom Harper to talk about Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the film that brings Tommy Shelby’s story to its long-planned conclusion. Knight reveals that the idea of ending Peaky Blinders with a movie set during World War II was part of the plan from the very beginning, while Harper discusses translating the series into a more focused cinematic finale—complete with intense practical sequences like the brutal mud fight between Cillian Murphy and Barry Keoghan and a collapsing tunnel scene filmed largely for real. Roth also talks about joining the universe after a personal invitation from Murphy, reshaping his character into a deceptively calm Nazi sympathizer, and how his own family’s World War II history gave the role emotional weight. Along the way, the conversation touches on real historical inspirations—from the bombing of Birmingham’s BSA factory to wartime spiritualists claiming to speak with the dead—as well as Roth’s friendships with icons like David Bowie and Patti Smith, all while reflecting on the legacy and final chapter of one of television’s most beloved crime stories.Listen to Tim Roth, Steven Knight and Tom Harper chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. 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.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe talks with Kyle Meredith about the band’s 10th album Into Oblivion, tracing its origins back to election night 2024 and a solitary drive listening to The Cure, which sparked the first lyrics to the song “Sepsis.” Blythe discusses how the record became a reflection on modern collapse—technology’s false promise of connection, the breakdown of social contracts, and the role protest has historically played in shaping change—while also pointing to influences ranging from Nick Cave to writers like Douglas Rushkoff. Along the way, he and Kyle get into the Cold War anxieties that shaped Blythe’s worldview, the challenge of keeping a ferocious vocal style intact after decades in metal, and how songs from Into Oblivion might translate to the stage as Lamb of God pressure-tests them live.Listen to Randy Blythe chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. 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.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Lily Rabe sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about the third season of Shrinking, where her character Meg — the daughter of Harrison Ford’s Paul — finally steps further into the spotlight and into a complicated dynamic with Jason Segel’s Jimmy. Rabe discusses how the storyline grew organically from the chemistry between characters rather than long-planned “breadcrumbs,” what it’s like bouncing between the show’s emotional therapy-driven world and heavier stage work like Ibsen’s Ghosts at Lincoln Center, and why comedy actually isn’t that far from tragedy in her approach to acting. Along the way, she reflects on working with a stacked cast, going toe-to-toe with Segel’s improvisational instincts, her years in American Horror Story, and other projects including Downtown Owl, and Presumed Innocent — all while explaining why Meg remains one of the easiest characters for her to slip back into each season.Listen to Lily Rabe chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. 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.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Juno Temple joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the wild, funny, and unexpectedly emotional new film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, directed by Gore Verbinski and co-starring Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, and Zazie Beetz. Known to many as Keeley from Ted Lasso, Temple tells Kyle how the script landed in her inbox while she was shooting Venom: The Last Dance and immediately pulled her in with its bonkers dark-comedy take on AI, social media addiction, and even school tragedy. She talks about filming in Cape Town, balancing Viking helmets with grounded emotion, exploring motherhood in the middle of an apocalypse, and why Rockwell is exactly the guy you’d follow to save the future.Listen to Juno Temple chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. 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.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Louisville filmmaker Evan Mascagni and author Joe Keith Bickett sit down with Kyle Meredith to dig into the wild, complicated true story behind the Cornbread Mafia — the so-called “unorganized” group of Kentucky farm boys who became one of the biggest marijuana operations in the country. Bickett, who served more than 20 years in prison and later wrote three memoirs reclaiming the narrative, talks about the myths, the media frenzy, and the draconian sentences handed down during the height of the War on Drugs — including how nonviolent marijuana charges landed him and others decades behind bars. Mascagni, whose new documentary on the Cornbread Mafia premieres at SXSW, explains why the story feels especially urgent now in an era of legalization, and how the film balances outlaw legend with real human cost. It’s a conversation about injustice, reinvention, Southern storytelling, and what happens when the “Godfather of Grass” era collides with modern cannabis culture.Show your support for Kyle Meredith With by making sure 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.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
