The cast of The Audacity, including Billy Magnuson, Jonathan Glatzer, Paul Adelstein, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge, and Ava Marie Telek, all sit down with Kyle Meredith to unpack a Silicon Valley satire that feels a little too close to reality, from ego-driven CEOs and “wild god” founder worship to the quieter damage done behind the scenes. Across the conversations, they dig into characters who think they’re doing good while chasing power and influence, the irony of building technology meant to connect people while becoming more isolated, and how money and ambition tend to expose rather than create corruption. Adelstein talks about playing emotional disconnection, Helberg leans into the contradiction of a man obsessed with connection who can’t achieve it, and Corddry admits to borrowing from great performances like Succession, while Rath points out that even the most well-meaning players are still playing the same game. Meanwhile, the younger cast frames the show’s real question: whether the next generation can break the cycle or is doomed to repeat it, offering a bit of hope in a world where the adults are mostly lost, all wrapped in a series that balances unsettling truths with absurd moments like karaoke curveballs and perfectly aimed truffles.

Barbie Ferreira, Devon Bostick, and Chandler Levack all sit down with Kyle Meredith to unpack Mile End Kicks, starting with Ferreira on playing a version of Levack and how stepping into a character rooted in real life meant leaning into the awkward, chaotic reality of your early 20s while also producing the film and bringing her own mix of influences from One Direction to Alanis Morissette; Bostick follows, talking about learning guitar from scratch to play a convincing indie band member, finding himself in the character, and helping capture that specific moment where nobody has it together but everyone’s pretending they might; and Levack ties it all together, explaining how her time as a SPIN critic during the blog rock era turned into a decade-long process of shaping the story, making the lead character more flawed and active, pulling inspiration from Almost Famous and Jagged Little Pill, and recreating a now-vanished music journalism world with the right mix of real songs and original tracks.

Jason Mewes sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about building a career that’s lasted more than three decades, from his start in Kevin Smith’s Clerks to the ever-expanding Jay And Silent Bob universe, and now into new territory with his YouTube series Five Things. The show, set inside a convenience store, uses everyday items as a jumping-off point for conversations that go way off the usual press-tour script, pulling out stories even longtime collaborators haven’t heard before. Mewes also gets into the evolution of his stand-up "Diary Of A Manchild," how sobriety still shapes the way he approaches the stage, and why he’s shifted away from the heavier material toward something looser and more personal. Along the way, he talks about directing Madness In The Method, revisiting earlier films like Drawing Flies, launching a Murdoch Mysteries podcast, and the reality that staying in the business often means creating your own opportunities. It’s a conversation about longevity, luck, and figuring out how to keep doing what you love, all while still finding time to circle back for another run in the View Askewniverse.
