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, and his storytelling show, The Story Well. He’s also a co-host on the horror film podcast, Sitting in the Dark.
He still has a lot to learn.

This is the Mandela Effect minute. The minute picks up with the Hammer car in the slowest of motion mid-aid crashes. Happy finds the unusual briefcase and picks up Pepper for a big rescue. We meet the film’s in-car Two Stooges comic universe. Ok… so there might be a few narrative issues that rear their collective head in this minute. We find a way to appreciate it anyhow.
It’s 2021. People are going to be watching you walk on the pro-am circuit. Just like we watch Ivan in what we can only classify as competitive saunter. It’s the People vs. Kyle Olson as we take on the race in Monaco as a dramatic action set piece. Pete Wright is back to join Rob’s defense of cavalier helmet flips and grandstanding.
Their romantic vacation cut short, the Ladies are soon gambling with their lives at a crooked casino! But who is La Contessa and what does this all have to do with the Russian mafia? Accents are thick and the lies are piling up in E4: “A Reckless Dispersal of Wealth”
Toothpicks! Gearhead Pete Wright is with us to talk about sport motoring and motor branding. There’s a hole lot of industrialist narcissism on display between Tony and Justin, and some of it even occurs through LCD screens. We pull apart Monaco mattes and CG face mask replacements, and then our old pal Ivan shows up and he’s hella swole.
Trio of directors announced for SpiderMan Into The Spiderverse sequel. Tig Notoro digitally added to Army Of The Dead. Legend has two different musical scores? Amazon just made history with new LOTR show. Plus, Kyle’s Build-a-Festival and a list of films
It’s the Amazing Race in space! But with more death! We’re here to talk about The Ghost Monument in 13 minutes. Evil blankets, real science and of course, “Come to Daddy…er, Mommy.”
What does it take to be an F1 driver? We find out when Tony takes the wheel. Thankfully, he’s got a jumpsuit in tow. Meanwhile, Hammer is trying to resuscitate his interview while Pepper briefly explores the perks of being a wallflower. Is Natasha a liar? Plus, “What If…“ Rob and Kyle invented a new War Machine/Hammer show for Disney+?
We open with a brief treatise on photography, cultured dairy products, and presidential history. Hammer and Stark get a few pics and play a rousing match of dodge-the-PR-disaster before settling in for the party proper. Blood toxicity, as it turns out, is a mood indicator. Plus, meanwhile in the MCU!
Merlins In History! Car? Actor? Historical figure? SPACE SHIP? We move past the Musk cameo and pick up with some Pepperony bickering. It is with great relief, therefore, that we welcome back our man Hammer and his glorious inability to read social cues. Also, Quibi is only dead when the last of us stops talking about it. This episode might be that conversation.
Ahhh, the Hotel de Paris in Monaco. So famous. So, so very out of reach. And so we pick up our team as the prepare for the Historic Grand Prix. Tony trumps Pepper with Natalie, who gets things *done*. Musk cameo inbound! Which gives us a terrific opportunity to walk down Silicon Valley Memory Lane. Also, welcome to Epic Rap Battles of History.
