Kyle Meredith With...

This week’s Rewind looks back at three separate interviews with the members of Depeche Mode. Listen to host Kyle Meredith chat with the new wave legends.

In 2021, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore sat down separately to discuss their respective projects, offering a glimpse into Depeche Mode’s sonic evolution during an ever-changing world. Gahan’s collaboration with Soulsavers, Imposter, was an introspective dive into reinterpretation, exploring the deep connection between himself and songs from icons like Bob Dylan, Cat Power, and Elvis Presley. Gore’s solo effort, The Third Chimpanzee, took an entirely different path — an instrumental journey inspired by primal themes, sci-fi soundscapes, and a contemplative pandemic solitude.

Then, in a 2017 interview, Andy Fletcher shared his thoughts on Depeche Mode’s album Spirit, a politically charged statement recorded at a moment when the world seemed especially polarized. Speaking candidly, Fletcher acknowledged that Trump’s election and Brexit had provided unexpected relevance to the record’s lyrics, even though the songs were written well before those events fully unfolded.

Reggie Watts chats with Kyle Meredith about his new standup special Never Mind, as well as his recent autobiography, Great Falls, MT: Fast Times, Post-Punk Weirdos, and a Tale of Coming Home Again. Listen now.

The comedian launches into a conversation about everything that makes up both his new special and his memoir, from his love of the '80s Brat Pack to obsessing over time travel. He also takes the time to examine Gen Z'a interest in the 1990s, explores how he arrived at his unique style of comedy, and digs into his signature brand of improvised music.

Elsewhere, Watts talks about why Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a perfect song, as well as his plans for a second book.

McG joins Kyle Meredith to talk about his new Netflix film, Family Switch. The movie, which stars Jennifer Garner, Ed Helms, Emma Myers, and a lineup of great cameos, finds a chance encounter with an astrological reader (Rita Moreno) that causes the Walkers to wake up to a full body switch between all of the members of the family. The director tells us why he wanted to add to the canon of body switch movies like Vise Versa and Freaky Friday, what it was like to workshop with the actors for each of them to play against their age, and having Jennifer Garner cook for everyone at her home in order to bring them all closer together. McG, who got his start making some of the biggest music videos of the 90s and 2000s for Korn, Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, Barenaked Ladies, and tons of others, discusses who that part of his career still influences what he does now, how he got those incredible colors that became part of his calling card, and how he got Weezer to be in this movie, as well as the cover song jam session they had with Ed Helms.

H. Jon Benjamin, known for voicing iconic animated characters like Bob from Bob’s Burgers and Archer from Archer, is back with his most unexpected passion project: the Jazz Daredevil. In an interview with Kyle Meredith, Benjamin talks about his latest release, The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of the (Unproduced) Film: The Jazz Daredevil. Listen to it now.

Of the new soundtrack, Benjamin reveals that it is indeed the soundtrack to an unproduced Jazz Daredevil film; there’s even a full script, rejected by countless studios, but Benjamin isn’t deterred. “We made an entire soundtrack to a movie that doesn’t exist, but maybe someday will,” he quips. “We made the soundtrack first... maybe there’s a chance we’ll make the movie."

With tracks like “Limo Ride” and “Murder Plot,” the new album is filled with cinematic moments and chaotic, offbeat humor. Benjamin even ropes in collaborators like Brendan Small (of Metalocalypse) to create a metal track, adding yet another layer of absurdity. Despite its chaotic nature, the soundtrack offers a unique glimpse into Benjamin’s world — a mix of jazz, metal, and twisted comedy.

Elsewhere in the episode, Benjamin discusses dipping his toes into dramatic territory over the years, such as his role in Master of None and a new indie film called Familiar Touch, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival. “I had to cry for that one, and I was terrified I’d ruin the movie," he says

David Yates & Lawrence Grey join Kyle Meredith to talk about the film, Pain Hustlers (out now on Netflix), which tells the story of Liza Drake (Emily Blunt), a blue-collar single mom who has just lost her job and is at the end of her rope when a chance meeting with pharmaceutical sales rep played by Chris Evans puts her on an upwards trajectory economically - but dubious path ethically - as she becomes entangled in a dangerous racketeering scheme. Dealing with her increasingly unhinged boss (Andy Garcia), the worsening medical condition of her daughter (Chloe Coleman), and a growing awareness of the devastation the company is causing forces Liza to examine her choices and ultimately gives a revealing look at what some people do out of desperation and others do out of greed. The director and producer discuss why they wanted to take on a story about the fentanyl epidemic and how this movie shows us a look behind the curtain of Big Pharma, as told through the sales reps. Grey, who also produced the Steven Soderbergh-directed The Laundromat, tells us how some of the most outlandish parts of the story came from real life, while Yates talks about directing Emily Blunt as a complicated hero/villain and how her character is already resonating with viewers. Yates, who famously directed the final four Harry Potter films as well as the Fantastic Beasts trilogy, discusses what it was like to leave the World of Wizardry to get back to a more point-and-shoot style of filmmaking.
