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.

In minute fifty-six of The Incredible Hulk, Kyle and Rob consider the General’s hubris and how it gets cut short as the Hulk finds a way to escape Ross’ sonic barrage. This makes way for a discussion on the physical properties of said escape which thankfully, leads us to a classic GI Joe cartoon and good old Jim Ross references. And there’s an Enya cameo.
In minute fifty-five of The Incredible Hulk, Kyle and Rob discuss sonic repercussions in movies. They also applaud the cool work of stuntman Cyril Raffaelli as we enjoy some fantastic action fighting where Blonsky holds his own! There’s a deep dive into how they make Tim Roth run really, really fast. Hint: a certain man of steel might have used this a few decades ago. And sonic cannons from the opening credits finally show up. Plus, we thank Ed Norton for not using glue!
In minute fifty-four of The Incredible Hulk, Kyle and Rob giggle with joy at the fighting mayhem we find our characters partaking in that includes more than their fill of explosions and destruction. Props to the CGI artists who made pulling apart this sequence even more fun! There’s a new installment of “Things the Hulk can Throw” plus two great cameos of Marvel universe characters that will blow your mind!
In minute fifty-three of The Incredible Hulk, Kyle and Rob begin with an Alfred Hitchcock discussion. Why? Well, because there’s a dolly zoom and don’t worry, Irmin Roberts gets the credit! The obsession over bullets continues as Ross’ army tries to take down the Hulk. We dish about our love of the absurdity of 80’s television car jumps and the Hulk’s propensity for stomping things.
In minute fifty-two of The Incredible Hulk, Kyle and Rob discuss an inexplicable movie from the 1940’s whose title plays into this minute. We dive deeper into Betty’s daddy issues and Bruce’s oddly expressed Hulk vision. There’s a discussion on the best way to simulate gas in an enclosed space as the big green guy shows up for this movie’s iconic reveal. And for some reason, a simile contest breaks out.
In minute fifty-one of The Incredible Hulk, Kyle and Rob discuss the good, bad and ugly of creative film techniques while the battle unfolds. Betty is looking for her dad while Bruce is looking for a way out. And, you’ll be introduced to the number two guy in the motion capture industry and find out that he’s no slouch!
In minute fifty of The Incredible Hulk, Kyle and Rob dissect the practical elements of Blonsky’s sprint into battle. They also do the same service to Bruce’s devouring of a data appliance. And Betty runs.
In minute forty-nine of The Incredible Hulk, Kyle and Rob reminisce about the birth of their children. We also find out that Kyle’s wife hates the tight tuck. Somehow we transition into all hell breaking loose where we learn Bruce runs really fast. Oh, and it’s all Betty’s fault. Plus another deleted scene!
In minute forty-eight of The Incredible Hulk, Kyle and Rob get wrapped up in the process of transforming Blonksy into something new and horrible. It’s needles again people. And squishy, bone cracking sound effects. Bruce also gets back to his official disguise as he tries to make a getaway.
In minute forty-seven of The Incredible Hulk, Kyle and Rob first confirm that the needle shot in minute twelve was real! Why? We talk tattoos and their familial meanings for Kyle and Mr. Tim Roth. There’s a deep dive on setting a scene between two beds as we finish the awkward conversation began in the previous minute. And we return to our Hulkstache conversation from minute thirty-four to correct ourselves. This minute is a free-for-all! Good luck.
