Fast becoming more beard than man, Kyle Olson is an award-winning writer, producer, and host who has been podcasting since these shows were still casting onto pods. He co-hosted The Marvel Movie Minute for over three hundred episodes with his fellow true believer and partner in pods, Rob Kubasko. He’s created several shows, the most notable of which are his audio drama series, The Swashbuckling Ladies Debate Society, his storytelling show, The Story Well, and he’s a co-host on Craft and Chaos. He served as co-host on Sitting in the Dark in it’s scariest early days.
He still has a lot to learn.

This week, we’re cracking open our creative toolkits and showing you the hardware, software, and unhinged rituals that fuel our art. From haunted potatoes to the gospel of Obsidian, we explore what helps us make things—and what helps us stay weird.
Kyle Olson assembles the “fang gang” to explore three cinematic incarnations of Dracula—each swinging for the gothic fences in dramatically different ways. From Coppola’s horny opulence to Butler’s biblical bite and Evans’ brooding bat-clouds, the panel sinks their teeth into what makes a Dracula truly Dracula.
Is it possible to make meaningful art when everything feels like it’s falling apart? This week, the crew gets personal about creation, connection, and the weird little victories that keep us going—even if it’s just writing a poem about chunky milk.
James Gunn’s Superman reboot flies in with big hopes, bigger swings, and a literal flying dog—and somehow, it works. The Film Board tries to make sense of clone fights, emotional journalism, and whether Supergirl really just called Superman a bitch. (She did.)
This week’s episode takes on rejection, writer’s block, and creative rituals—plus, two Mad Libs that spiral from “silly” to “existential crisis in a cheese grater.” It’s weird, it’s honest, it’s everything you didn’t know you needed.
This week, Marvel Movie Minute does something bold. Something dramatic. Something that, quite frankly, should probably come with a warning label. We’re handing over hosting duties from the Iron Man 3 dream team—Kyle Olson and Rob Kubasko—to the brave, possibly deluded souls who have volunteered to take on the MCU’s most famously “meh” entry: Thor: The Dark World.
The stunning end credits sequence of Iron Man 3 serves as a triumphant finale to the trilogy, before revealing Bruce Banner as Tony’s unexpected therapist.
In this special Pride Month episode, the panel explores horror through a queer lens—where monsters speak the language of repression, desire, and outsider survival. From Bride of Frankenstein to Freddy’s Revenge to Titane, it’s a journey through coded fear and unapologetic transformation.
What do scorpions, banana bread, and Jeff Bridges have in common? In this episode of Craft and Chaos, the team embraces creative pain, absurd trivia, and the very real threat of footnote-based anarchy.
As Tony destroys his suits and removes his arc reactor, his final words spark debate over whether he’s truly transformed or just paying lip service to change.
