Tony Hale and director Ol Parker join Kyle Meredith to talk about Office Romance, the new Netflix comedy starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein. Parker discusses finding his lane in romantic comedies, balancing big-hearted storytelling with unexpectedly raunchy moments, and building a cast packed with scene-stealers like Hale, Betty Gilpin, Amy Sedaris, and Bradley Whitford. Hale talks about the moment he realized “Tony Hale type” had become an actual casting description, how childhood anxiety helped shape some of his most memorable characters, and the deleted bathroom meltdown scene that never made the final cut. Along the way, they celebrate the art of looking ridiculous for a laugh, mourn the disappearance of DVD extras, and share why audiences may be ready for rom-coms all over again.

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed starts with loneliness, cam boys, custody battles, and youth soccer. Tatiana Maslany, Jake Johnson, Jessy Hodges, Murray Bartlett, Brandon Flynn, David J. Rosen, and David Gordon Green talk with Kyle Meredith about the new Apple TV+ thriller, from Paula’s search for connection and the show’s Rear Window-style internet paranoia to true crime culture, sex work, villain logic, and the very unfair math around motherhood and desire. It’s murder, blackmail, bad choices, and a few jokes sharp enough to keep the whole thing from collapsing into a police report.

Tom Cavanagh tells Kyle Meredith why the writing on You’re Killing Me worked so well that the cast mostly just had to stay out of its way. The Flash and Scrubs favorite talks about building his small-town detective alongside Brooke Shields and Amelia Williamson, improvising lines, sneaking a little Columbo into the performance, and why knowing the ending helped him “keep the powder dry” until the finale. There’s also a quick detour into Prince, Bowie, and one of the smoothest segue compliments ever handed out in an interview.
