Summary

Kyle hosts actor, author, activist & kindred spirit Rowan Blanchard to find out what it’s like being a Salem witch descendant, a 5-year-old child actor learning to ride a bike at an Advil shoot, the miracle who was David Lynch & his timeless legacy, starring in The Testaments & learning how to regulate creative energy, the cons of self-tape auditions, and Rowan’s iconic Lucille Ball costume from childhood. After discussing their favorite films, tiny home videos & navigating the press circuit, Kyle & Rowan launch up into the cosmos for In The Stars, a game where they pair their most iconic characters with astrology signs.
