A $21,634 tow bill sounds like the setup to a joke… until you realize it actually happened. Best Actress Academy Award nominee Rose Byrne and Dominic Sessa talk their new film, Tow. On this episode of Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, we’re diving into Tow - the unbelievable true story of Amanda Ogle, a woman who found herself trapped in bureaucratic chaos after a tow bill spiraled completely out of control. (And yes, you will absolutely start side-eyeing every tow truck you see after this.) I’m joined by director Stephanie Laing, along with stars Rose Byrne and Dominic Sessa, to talk about turning this wild real-life story into something emotional, human, and honestly… infuriating. We get into the resilience behind the story, the surprising hope at its core, and how one person deciding to fight back can actually make a difference. It’s one of those stories that feels too crazy to be real - except it is. So buckle up… and maybe double check where you park.

In this episode of Pop Culture Weekly, we’re diving into two very different but equally fascinating corners of pop culture: sharp social body horror satire and good old-fashioned horror mayhem as Kyle McMahon is joined by Scared to Death horror legends Lin Shaye and Bill Moseley and Slanted's writer / director Amy Wang and stars Shirley Chen, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan & Amelie Zilber. First up, Kyle sits down with the stars and creators of the bold new film Slanted. Joining him are Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Never Have I Ever), Amelie Zilber, Shirley Chen, and writer/director Amy Wang. They talk about how the film uses biting satire to explore identity, race, and the kinds of uncomfortable conversations that the best art refuses to avoid. Then we head straight into horror territory with two absolute legends. Bill Moseley (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, House of 1000 Corpses) and the incomparable Lin Shaye (Insidious, Kingpin) join to talk about their new horror-comedy Scared to Death. They get into their incredible careers, why audiences can’t get enough of monsters and the emotional truth that makes a great horror movie stick with you long after the credits roll. It’s thoughtful, funny, a little creepy and there are definitely a few fanboy moments along the way.

This week on Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, Kyle sits down with Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall to talk all about The Beauty, Ryan Murphy’s stylish, unsettling new series for FX and Hulu that will make you rethink mirrors, skincare ads and society’s obsession with perfection.

Seann William Scott, Michelle Pfeiffer, Felicity Jones… and my dog Blue barging in for a potty break. Yeah, this episode is stacked. In this festive-yet-chaotic episode of Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, I kick things off with my buddy Seann William Scott, a.k.a. Stifler, who’s back to talk Season 2 of his Tim Allen sitcom Shifting Gears (now airing on ABC and streaming on Disney+ and Hulu). We get into everything from tortured Philadelphia Eagles fandom and awkward Thanksgiving family drama to what it’s really like shooting a multi-cam sitcom in front of a live studio audience. Seann talks about working with Tim Allen (yes, America’s TV dad), navigating punchlines around real-time audience laughter, the magic of shorter 13-episode seasons, and why this show feels like comfort-food TV that still lets him be home in time to pick up his daughter from school. He also teases his upcoming horror film Dolly, a brutal 16mm French-extremity-style shocker that horror fans are going to want on their radar. Then we go full holiday mode with screen legends Michelle Pfeiffer and Felicity Jones, who join me to talk about their new Prime Video holiday dramedy Oh. What. Fun. Michelle opens up about why she signed on to the film, working with director Michael Showalter, and how the movie doubles as a love letter to overworked, underappreciated moms everywhere. Felicity shares how the mother - daughter dynamic in the film mirrors real life, why the story balances emotional truth with big, messy, laugh-out-loud moments, and what makes this holiday movie feel a little less “perfect snow globe” and a lot more “this is what my family actually looks like.” Watch Oh. What. Fun. on Prime Video here! If you love celebrity interviews, holiday movies, sitcom deep dives, Shifting Gears, or just want to hear me quietly spiral about the fact that I just interviewed Michelle freakin’ Pfeiffer, this one’s for you.

It’s a full-on pop culture party this week as Kyle McMahon talks the best and worst video game adaptiations with Benny Panella, Dave Franco & Alison Brie discuss their horror film Together and Anthony Mackie and the cast of Twisted Metal Season 2 takeover the show. Kyle is joined once again by the amazing Benny Panella to deep-dive, nitpick and laugh their way through the wild, pixelated world of video game adaptations. From Super Mario Bros. (1993, aka the one of the weirdest movies ever made) to The Last of Us and Sonic the Hedgehog dominating modern screens, they unpack what works, what flops, and why Hollywood keeps trying to make “Doom” happen (it’s not going to happen). Then buckle up, because I’m bringing you inside the mayhem of Twisted Metal Season 2 with exclusive interviews from the cast and creatives - including the always epic Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz, showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith, Samoa Joe, Mike Mitchell, Tiana Okoye, Patti Guggenheim, Sailor Bell Curda, Lisa Gilroy, and Richard De Klerk. It’s like Mad Max chugged five Monster Energy drinks and landed on Peacock. And to close things out? A real-life couple making fake-life horror magic - Dave Franco and Alison Brie join to talk about their twisted new film Together. They talk codependency, prosthetics, toilet logistics, and cuddling red flags. It’s a lot. In the best way. 🕹️ Topics include:Red Dead RedemptionSilent HillResident EvilFive Nights at Freddy’sAssassin’s CreedHitmanDoomTwisted MetalTogether 🔗 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for more celebrity interviews, streaming breakdowns, and your weekly dose of pop culture goodness. 📍 Watch now on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform 🎧 Subscribe for more celeb interviews, streaming picks and pop culture deep dives! 🗣️ Want to be featured on the show? 📱 Leave a voicemail here! 📧 Join the newsletter to get exclusive content, interviews & more once a week!
