Dave Franco & Alison Brie (Together); Anthony Mackie & the cast of Twisted Metal

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:
- The best and worst video game adaptations of all time
- Why Red Dead Redemption deserves a prestige TV show
- Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Five Nights at Freddy’s - horror games that actually worked as films
- Assassin’s Creed, Hitman and Doom - what went so terribly wrong?
- Twisted Metal Season 2 deep-dive with the cast
- Dave Franco & Alison Brie on Together and making horror as a couple
