Lou Diamond Phillips has read the Young Guns 3 script, calls it “unbelievable,” and can't understand why the sequel hasn't gotten the green light. The La Bamba and Longmire star talks with Kyle Meredith about his new film Gangland, playing a morally complicated tribal police officer, shooting on Cheyenne and Arapaho land in just 18 days, and how Indigenous communities have embraced the movie as a starting point for conversations about violence and healing. Phillips also discusses the possibility of revisiting his cult film The First Power, his unexpected history as a rock singer, and why the second season of The Chair Company is already “crazier than ever.”

Rachel Bilson spent much of Christmas at the Kringles trying not to laugh at Arden Myrin and Thomas Lennon, even while her own character was being hypnotized into a holiday nightmare. Bilson and Myrin talk with Kyle Meredith about the Christmas-obsessed cult at the center of the movie, how Bilson kept “Silent Night” playing in her head during her drugged-out scenes, and why Myrin thinks she'd make a pretty great cult leader herself. Rob Riggle follows with stories about playing a foul-mouthed, drunken Santa, the surreal experience of trading punches with Beverly D'Angelo, and why he's been branching out into more dramatic roles. Director Kevin Lewis then gets into his love of Sam Raimi's wild camera work, why he considers the movie a spiritual successor to Willy's Wonderland, and the 20 to 25 minutes of unused footage he'd love to release as the "Kringle Cut," along with a few ideas for bringing these Christmas-loving lunatics back for another round.

Kate Siegel knew the trick to making Carrie’s first house party terrifying was letting her have a great time. Talking with Kyle Meredith about directing episode three of Mike Flanagan’s Stephen King adaptation, she connects her own experiences with bullying and teenage freedom to a night inspired by Can’t Hardly Wait and 10 Things I Hate About You. Then we get properly nerdy about the needle drops, searching through roughly 400 songs for one scene, and making a car float with a decidedly unglamorous jack. Siegel also shares where her feature directorial debut Method stands, her plans for feminist filmmaking through Legitimate Pictures, and a dream of casting Olivia Rodrigo, so somebody get that message to Olivia.

Deborah Ann Woll had one nonnegotiable for The Cycle’s horror effects, and it was making sure they actually existed in the room. She and Jeffrey Donovan talk with Kyle Meredith about the film’s practical creatures, keeping its big reveal under wraps, and starting their work together with a decomposing body on a morgue table. Woll gets into the forensic research that shaped her performance, while Donovan explains how the set’s attention to detail put the pressure on him to deliver. Add Oregon’s coastal fog, a supposedly haunted Victorian rental, and David Soul’s “Silver Lady,” and even the soundtrack starts looking suspicious.

Stephen Wilson Jr. calls singing Chris Cornell’s part of “Hunger Strike” alongside Eddie Vedder at Ohana Festival one of the greatest moments of his life, and he tells Kyle Meredith how a cover he recorded just for himself led to sharing the stage with one of his heroes. The two also get into his recent run of singles, including how a last-minute writing session with Miranda Lambert turned into “Hardwired,” why interpolating the Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind?” gives both songs an entirely different meaning, and how his music keeps finding connections he never planned. Wilson also opens up about “Cornerman,” which he sees as a sequel to “Father's Son,” and the realization that moving forward after Son of Dad might mean finally letting go of his father, even as he continues to show up in the songs. Plus, the former scientist and boxer talks about turning the Ryman Auditorium into a boxing ring, his dad’s love of Muhammad Ali, and why making music sometimes feels like having a friend and an opponent in the same corner.

Ariel Winter says playing a sarcastic, cynical character like Sabrina Grimm comes pretty naturally, mostly because she recognizes a little of herself in the role. The Modern Family star talks with Kyle Meredith about Season 2 of The Sisters Grimm, why the show’s themes of family and foster children matter just as much as its fairy-tale adventures, and how she found Sabrina’s voice by channeling a younger version of herself. Winter also looks at returning to Sofia the First, discovering that fans are following her from one magical world to another, and the strange experience of voicing animated characters who never have to grow up, even as she does.

Getting older just means getting louder for Danny Elfman and Filter’s Richard Patrick. Both catch up with Kyle Meredith backstage at Louder Than Life 2026, where Elfman reveals how Tool’s Fear Inoculum got him through hours of tattooing, why he never expected to return to the stage, and how his next album comes with a David Lynch-inspired movie featuring Slash, Thundercat, and Caleb Landry Jones. Meanwhile, Patrick says he’s making the heaviest music of his career with A Place to Kill, talks about Ministry’s massive influence on Filter, and previews the upcoming album The Antidote, which picks up where The Algorithm left off. They also get into their work scoring films, the freedom of jumping between musical worlds, and why neither one seems particularly interested in mellowing out.

V/H/S/MIXTAPE turns music into a weapon, and RZA, David Moreau, Ernest Dickerson, and Renee Zhan each found a very different way to make that nightmare work. The four filmmakers talk with Kyle Meredith about the music-driven V/H/S installment, from RZA sampling the sounds of New York and imagining the “tone in death,” to Moreau weaponizing total silence inside an anechoic chamber, Dickerson recruiting Flying Lotus for an alien musical battle, and Zhan discovering that the puppeteers at Jim Henson’s Creature Shop were more than ready to get bloody. RZA also considers taking his horrifying finished track one step further and actually putting some verses on it.
