The Veronicas on New Album Gothic Summer's Nods to The B-52’s and The Cramps Mar 22, 2024

Show notes

The Veronicas join Kyle Meredith to talk about Gothic Summer, the latest release from the Australian twin sisters. Listen to the new episode wherever you get your podcasts.

Lisa and Jessica Origliasso talk about being heavily influenced by their rock upbringing and how the bands from their youth have manifested in their sound. "Our song 'Jungle' is a throwback to something like The B-52's or The Cramps," they say. "[It's] more of the music that we grew up listening to, rather than what you would expect The Veronicas to make for a radio song, if that makes sense."

For Gothic Summer, The Veronicas reunited with producer John Feldmen, marking the beginning and ending of different artistic chapters. With the reunion came a reexamination of how the sisters feel about pop music, ultimately exploring the duality of abstract art and pop.

Anna Camp on Darker Roles & the Post-Economic-Collapse America of NEO-DOME Mar 16, 2024

Show notes

Anna Camp joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Neo-Dome. Listen to the new episode wherever you get your podcasts.

The actress talks about the specifics of her unique character, as well as the sources of inspiration she pulled from for her performance. "They really wanted it to feel a little Coen Brothers-esque," she recalls. To achieve the Coen Brothers vibe, Camp dipped into a southern accent and leaned into the subtle comedy of the script.

Camp goes on to talk about the darkness inherent in the role, and how she enjoys playing darker characters in general. Specifically, she speaks to wanting to move away from always playing bubbly women. She's accomplishing that here, as well as with her next few projects, including Bridge Hard and Hysteria.

The Black Crowes Chris Robinson on Reunion Album Happiness Bastards Mar 15, 2024

Show notes

The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the band's new album, Happiness Bastards, which marks their first collection of new material since 2009.

Inspired by his experience of touring Shake Your Money Maker for its 30th anniversary and the writing of Bob Dylan, Robinson explains how he attempted to take his lyrics to a new level for Happiness Bastards. Looking towards some of the all time greats, Robinson sought to harness the dark romance of rock 'n' roll through stories and images, all while leaving room for the listener's own interpretation.

At the same time Robinson was focusing on the album's many tales, he and the band were cranking away in the studio. For the Happiness Bastards sessions, the band wrote many more songs than ultimately don't appear on the record. The artist hints that while these cuts were left on the editing room floor, they could potentially show up on another project.

Listen to The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson talk about Happiness Bastards. The band will be touring behind the record beginning in April, and you can get tickets here.

Spaceman's Johan Rench on Directing Adam Sandler, Carrie Mulligan, and David Bowie Mar 13, 2024

Show notes

Director Johan Renck joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Spaceman, the new film starring Adam Sandler and Carey Mulligan that follows an astronaut on a solitary research mission who encounters a mysterious, benevolent spider creature (just don't tell Consequence Senior Entertainment Editor Liz Shannon Miller). Listen to the new episode now, and make sure to follow KMW and write a review to show your love!

Renck talks about how directing Sandler in a non-comedic role allowed the two to get to a particularly vulnerable place. They attempted to tap into a zeitgeist of loneliness, a vibe that's only reinforced by the script’s reflection of vanity and narcissism. The filmmaker also discusses his work directing David Bowie's music videos, and whether that late icon would have enjoyed Spaceman.

Listen to Johan Renck talk about Spaceman and directing David Bowienow. To keep up to date with all the latest from Kyle Meredith With... follow on your favorite podcast platform; also check out all the other series on the Consequence Podcast Network.

Show notes

5 Seconds of Summer's Luke Hemmings joins Kyle Meredith to talk about his new single, “Shakes." The popstar tells us why it was time to do another solo set, how his writing changes when not with the band, continuing to work with producer Sammy White, and how being in his late 20s with a sense of loneliness drives many of the new songs he’s writing.

The Australian singer also discusses 5SOS’s most recent tour and bringing out the giant dice that dictates which deep track they would play, as well as the group’s plans to reconvene later in the year to start working on their next album.

Tom Payne on Imaginary, Horizon: An American Saga, & The Walking Dead Mar 08, 2024

Show notes

Tom Payne joins Kyle Meredith to talk about his roles in Imaginary, Horizon: An American Saga, The Walking Dead, and more. Listen to the new episode above, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaking to the myriad of horror and horror-adjacent roles the actor has tackled, Payne dives into how the process of approaching scary or thrilling material differs from that of other genres. From the upcoming Blumhouse production Imaginary to his tenure on The Walking Dead, the actor has had to dial into his spooky side.

As the focus shifts to his time on The Walking Dead, Payne reveals that he didn't want to become a zombie after his the death of his character. "I did not want to sit in makeup for hours and hours and wear a latex hood," he explains. "The guys and girls who play the walkers, they deserve medals, because they bake in the sun. They're in very uncomfortable positions, and they're wearing all this makeup, and have to get in earlier than us in the morning and leave later than us at night. That's the hardest job on that show."

Joe Keery on Djo Viral Success, Marmalade, Fargo, & Stranger Things Mar 06, 2024

Show notes

Joe Keery joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the recent viral success of Djo’s "End of Beginning," which was originally included on their 2022 album Decide. Listen to the new episode above, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The actor/musician looks back on the success of the song on TikTok, how much he's grown in the two years that have passed, and how such reminiscing suits the song's themes. Nodding to the Annie Lennox classic "No More I Love Yous," the song plays with ideas of the past -- so, of course, it only took off once it was in the rearview mirror.

Keery and Meredith also take a detour to chat about his work as an actor, from Marmalade to Fargo to Stranger Things. Of his iconic role in the latter, Keery expresses both gratitude and an excitement to move on to newer (perhaps even stranger) things.

Listen to Keery talk about Decide and his acting careerabove. To keep up to date with all the latest from Kyle Meredith With... follow on your favorite podcast platform; keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.
