In the forty-eighth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by actors Ben McGinley and Nick Earl to discuss the high-fantasy blend of genre, from the American western to the Shaw Brothers kung-fu epics, in John Carpenter's unapologetically wild immersion into action hero tropes, the power of community, and a commentary on the fear of the unknown in the cult sensation Big Trouble in Little China (1986).
In the forty-seventh episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by screenwriter August Gummere and editor Kristi Shimek to break down the deconstructionist comedy about Arthurian legend, extreme class division, and the false notion of god granted nobility in the exquisitely crafted and thoroughly surrealist masterpiece from the Beatles of comedy in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975).
In the forty-sixth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with screenwriter Katy Baldwin to discuss the B-movie concoction of soldiers with guns, practical monsters, and horror gore that defined the DIY spirit and ingenuity of Neil Marshall in his directorial debut Dog Soldiers (2002).

In the forty-first episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with actor Ben McGinley to discuss the maximalist style and absurdly earnest tropes of Kathryn Bigelow's dedicated and slick embodiment of the American actioner with its weirdly existential clashing between authoritarian stability and reckless freedom in Point Break (1991).
In the fortieth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with screenwriter David Gutierrez to discuss the circular irrationality and chaos of an uprising going nowhere in Werner Herzog's bleak yet ironic assessment of rebellion within a closed and corrupt system in Even Dwarfs Started Small (1970).
In the thirty-ninth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by screenwriter Katy Baldwin and editor Kristi Shimek to discuss the original cult sensation that centers around the quotidian normalcy and fulfilling community of circus performers that is interrupted by self-doubt, exploitation, and betrayal resulting in a swift and demented form of justice in Tod Browning's sensational horror melodrama Freaks (1932).

In the thirty-fourth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by screenwriter Katy Baldwin and actor Dan Bauer to discuss the joyous satire of lo-fi science-fiction fandom and the actors who have taken the gift of a show's community and philosophy for granted in Dean Parisot's wonderful ode to how pop culture can be more than simply a commercialized product in the hilarious Galaxy Quest (1999).
