David Rysdahl joins Kyle Meredith to talk about starring in FX’s Alien Earth, his second collaboration with creator Noah Hawley after Fargo. Rysdahl digs into how the show goes beyond the franchise’s trademark monsters to explore AI, immortality, climate catastrophe, and humanity’s place in the world. He also reflects on playing Arthur, the conscience of the series, how his role parallels his Fargo character Wayne, and why he feels like he’s portraying a piece of Hawley himself. The conversation also touches on fatherhood metaphors, respecting the lore of the Alien franchise, the thrill of practical effects, and how the series’ unexpected soundtrack choices (from Tool to Nina) elevate each episode.

Mark Mothersbaugh and Jerry Casale of DEVO join Kyle Meredith to talk about the new Netflix documentary chronicling the band’s 50-year history. The two discuss why it took so long for a DEVO doc to happen, the challenge of condensing their complex story into 90 minutes, and the long career of having to constantly explain the ideas behind their art. They revisit the Kent State shooting's influence on their formation, share memories of meeting Neil Young years after “Ohio,” and talk about how their sound was inspired by European futurists and the industrial culture of the 1970s. Mothersbaugh and Casale also dive into their upcoming Cosmic De-Evolution tour with #TheB52s, the meaning behind “farewell… maybe,” and why Something for Everybody deserved more love.
