Scott Yager is joined by Challenge / Big Brother star Kyland Young to talk Ryan Coogler's Sinners, Marvel's Thunderbolts and some MOVIE MANIA as a whole!

Apologies for the abrupt conclusion. For those worried about spoilers for either film, here are approximate time-codes below.
**Even if you haven't seen either film, if you are interested in Film Talk in general, you should appreciate the first half hour at least!
0:00 - 30:00 - General Movie Talk. No Spoilers
30:00 - 01:16:00 - Sinners, Spoilers Included
01:16:00 - End - Thunderbolts, Spoilers Included

Ep. 471: Vinny Foti May 13, 2025

Show notes

Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Vinny Foti.
VINNY FOTI makes his Challenge Mania debut to talk about his short run on The Challenge from Fresh Meat II into Cutthroat and ending with his infamous removal on Battle of the Exes, which led to the end of his partner Sarah's season as well. The episode to watch before this interview is Episode II of Season 22 (Battle of the Exes) on Paramount+ to see the incident we discuss at length and the manner in which it plays out on the show, if it's something you can handle. In it a female cast-member's top is removed so proceed with caution. We both watched it this week to re-familiarize ourselves with it, as we knew it was top of mind for many of you when we announced this guest. Vinny himself brought it up before we even got there and we end up spending a solid chunk of the interview on it before learning about his 2018 health scare and discussing some other Challenge moments.
