In the fourteenth episode of Season 1, Cult Flicks & Trash Picks, Kyle is joined by cinematographer Josh Carter and dear friend Mark Majcher to all be first time viewers of Abel Ferrara's uncomfortably provocative, eerily relevant, and shockingly absurd exploitation grindhouse rape-vengeance thriller Ms. 45 (Angel of Vengeance).

In the fifteenth episode of Season 10: Dealer's Choice, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with filmmaker and podcaster Michael Willer to discuss the divide between idealistic intentions and the harsh realities of circumstance as it relates to a nomadic drifter, his nostalgic yet damaged past, and the parallels it takes to the vast landscape of America itself in Wim Wenders' melancholically beautiful road movie Paris, Texas (1984).
In the fourteenth episode of Season 10: Dealer's Choice, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with musician Ben Childs to discuss the hopeless disillusionment of the 1970s that was translated into a cut-to-the-bone, mean-spirited vengeance story that followed a Vietnam POW molded and informed by violence and isolated by normalcy in John Flynn's Rolling Thunder (1977).
In the thirteenth episode of Season 10: Dealer's Choice, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with filmmaker Mario Ruiz discuss the melancholic and lyrical adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's bitter novel that recollects the disillusionment and lost opportunity of the 70s as interpreted through a personal investigation of mystery, memory, and discovery in Paul Thomas Anderson's hilarious and thoughtful noir Inherent Vice (2014).
In the twelfth episode of Season 10: Dealer's Choice, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with performer and screenwriter Reagan Osborne to discuss the serendipitous trifecta union of director Richard Linklater's natural rhythms, screenwriter Mike White's character driven screenplay, and actor Jack Black's exceptional performative energy that defined the inclusive, mature, and forward educational thinking comedy School of Rock (2003).
In the eleventh episode of Season 10: Dealer's Choice, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with fellow podcaster Sean Ellis to discuss old school comedy dynamics and personality contrasts in regards to the Universal power duo of Abbott and Costello in the money making gimmick of putting them into a different franchise entirely in Charles Barton's Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948).

In the eighth episode of Season 10: Dealer's Choice, Kyle is joined for one-on-one conversation with musician David Sanders to discuss the comedic duality of parody as it both fondly appreciates its influences while also intentionally subverting them into mockery as we turn to Neil Simon and Robert Moore's skewering of the tropes and convolutions of the classic, novelistic murder mystery in Murder by Death (1976).
In the seventh episode of Season 10: Dealer's Choice, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with editor Kristi Shimek to discuss the cartoon logic and whimsical absurdity of an epic form comedy that blends archetypal character subversion and exaggerated antics galore in Blake Edwards' ode to silent era craft and form in The Great Race (1965).
