    Man, this girl is dumb as bricks. God bless her.

    Malcolm falls for, as Stevie puts it, "a moron" and only the wisely unwise ways of Reese will allow him to converse with her. Miiiinty mints are your breath's friend!

    Hal slides into a steamroller addiction, Lois and Stevie gab the day away, and Francis gets the brakes beaten off him.

    Willa and Ryan go deep with questions like "is ignorance truly bliss?" "are dummies happier?" "if so, why is Ryan so miserable?"

    PLUS a lengthy discussion on what THEY would like to crush with a big machine. Please let us know what YOU wanna crush in the comments. NO HANDS OR SKULLS.

    Thanks for listening! We have a special guest next week for season 4, episode 5 "Forwards Backwards"-- stay tuned!

    CLASSIC ALERT! Today on Yes No Maybe we go deep on FAMILY REUNION, a truly great episode of MitM featuring the legendary Christopher Lloyd. We also talk Ohio, peeing the bed, and our old friend Harry Pancakes. We hope you enjoy listening to the episode as much as we did recording it! For some reason this episode took me like 6 hours to edit so it better be worth something.

    Malcolm has entered High School. And made an absolute fool of himself. Sound familiar, Willa?


    Humilithon is here and unfortunately that means saying goodbye to an absolute FAVORITE character: Cynthia Sanders. Rest in peace in TV heaven, Cynthia.

    At least she ends things how she always wanted: being labeled a sl*t by an entire crowd of her peers.

    In other news, Dewey experiences true freedom, Hal and Lois bang in a closet, and Francis probably learns nothing. A wonderful episode of Malcolm that we thoroughly enjoyed discussing.

    As we mention in the ep, we are trying out some new segments and structures to these episodes. Let us know what you think! We love you!

If you’ve ever listened to this show and wished it had more discussion about nuclear energy, this episode is for you! We loved our time chatting with Will and we hope you will too.

    Malcolm and Dewey have fallen into the tiger cage at the zoo.

    NOBODY PANIC.

    Season 4 of Malcolm in the Middle starts with a bang, or should I say... fang... in the face of Hal. Damn the words are just flowing out of me today episode-description wise.

    We get the introduction of the LOVELY German couple Gretchen and Otto who whisk Piama and Francis away to the Grotto. And just like that, Francis finally has a boss that doesn't want him dead. All Otto wants to do is smother him with kisses.

    Hal's jealousy flairs up bc Lois used to date the guy from White Collar (I get it Hal...) and Reese gets traumatized by Black Phillip (look it up).

    We're so excited to be starting this new season and can't wait for all the wonderful guests and surprises to come!! BYE!!

    This is THE most informed review of Season 3 of Malcolm in the Middle you are likely to find. As we realize in this episode, we've been watching this season over the course of 9 months. Insanity.

    We've had time to sit with these characters, performances, Bernard Unit decisions, and we have come to some interesting conclusions.

    Tell us where we're wrong! Tell us where we're right! Tell us what the hell we're arguing about with the rat chair situation.

    Thank you all for tuning in to Season 3, we've got exciting episodes ahead as we dive into the fourth season of this wonderful show.

    Long live Stinky Pete!!

    The core family unit has been revealed. Our father, Ted Barnett, completes the Pentafecta as foretold. Basically: our dad is on this episode YAY!


    We cover the FINAL episode of Season 3 in this nostalgic, paternal YNM.


    Craig gets a titular helper monkey, Malcolm and Dewey are sleep deprived, Reese becomes a cop, Francis and Piama make a big decision, Hal wants to hurt someone, and Lois climbs a tree in the strange but delightful finale.

    It's a Kwepisode, so strap in folks.

    Today on YNM we’re talking about episode 321… CLIQUES! The sibs get a little delirious on this one as we wade through this excellent episode of Malcolm while finding some time to chat about Marvel, homemade weaponry, and some post-vacation reflections that we’ve brought up for the last three weeks. Sorry! We record these all at once! For some reason this is the hardest description I’ve ever had to write. Please enjoy the episode.

    We bagged another writer on this week's episode of Yes, No, Maybe!

    Eric Kaplan is the writer of Dirty Magazine, Victor's Other Family, Dewey's Opera, Ida's Dance, Blackout, and Hal Grieves.

    He has written for many other beloved and hilarious TV shows over the course of his incredible career AND he managed to get PhD in philosophy from UC Berkeley... kinda insane.

    We were thrilled to get into Eric's take on the Malcolm writer's room, a bit of Linwood lore, philosophical musings on these characters, and more during this episode.

    HUGE shoutout to his NEW ANIMATION STUDIO Kap Knap, found here: https://www.youtube.com/@Kapknap

    It's Oops All Clips this week. And by clips they of course mean cold opens. Lois, we miss you doll.

    ^^ Complete nonsense sentence to anyone not familiar with S3E19 of Malcolm in the Middle.

    Ryan and Willa are stepping it UP and recording DOWN in Gotham Production Studios this week and for all weeks to come. It's about damn time we actually look good and sound even better.

    Willa calls this episode of Malcolm "their most psychological yet" and then immediately backs down. But there is psychology goin' around thanks to guest star Andy "Daly" Richter.

    Ryan makes at least 2 major mistakes this episode, bonus points if people can point out more in the comments!

    Love you all; we were incredibly saddened to hear about Hayden Panettiere's passing this week and want to acknowledge her fantastic contribution to this wonderful show we all adore. <3

    Royal flush (poker term)!! Today on YNM, Willa and Ryan discuss Season 3's "Poker #2," a sequel to the classic Ken Kwapis joint "Poker" from earlier this season! And like every sequel to a perfect object, there's a high bar to clear. Do they do it? Look... I don't know. No. Is that what you want to hear? But it's a fun episode anyway! And a totally bizarre one! Malcolm fires a live pistol into his family home and nearly kills Abe!

    Willa and I are sort of all over the place this ep, but in fairness it was 1000 degrees when we recorded it. Please enjoy!

    This week, the siblings (us) got to talk to one of our absolute favorite Malcolm in the Middle actors: Eric Nenninger.

    He plays none other than Cadet Eric Hanson, a sensitive yet misguided boy who is unfortunately linked to one of humanity's most desperate creatures: Francis.

    We had a hoot chatting with Eric about his time on Malcolm, and what it was like to return to the show that shaped him.

    Finally we get to the bottom of questions like: is Francis popular? Why is Eric in military school? Have you seen the Bernard Unit in person?

    This and so much more in our exclusive interview with Eric Nenninger. Big thanks to Eric for taking the time to chat with us!!

    Today on Yes No Maybe we are joined by the illustrious CHARLES SYDNOR, the composer and music editor for Malcolm in the Middle.

    This episode is focused on two things: NUTS. AND BOLTS. We get into the specifics of Charlie’s job, working with They Might Be Giants, arranging the iconic Candyman sequence, and conceptualization/execution of a personal favorite episode, OPERA.

    Charlie gives insight into the music department of MitM, working with Linwood, and how the whole dang sausage is made. This is a pretty special, very nerdy episode of Yes No Maybe and we had such a great time chatting with Charlie.

    You understand? We don't.

    Willa and Ryan tackle, but fail to push over, episode 17 of season 3. A fantastic ep that reminds us just how horrible Reese and Malcolm can be, and just how good a dog can stink.

    Hal and Lois attempt to rekindle the spark in their marriage that was brutally extinguished by Hal saying the all-too-common phrase "bye guy" and SPANGLER returns one last time to seek revenge on the insolent Francis.

    Writers Glouberman and Orenstein knock it out of the park and director Bob Stevens puts the cherry on top. Mmm cake.

    The Kwap is back. And this time? It's personal.

    Well, this time it's about the revival and we can talk spoilers, but potato potahto.

    Ken Kwapis is the legendary director of classic Malcolm eps like Hal Quits, If Boys Were Girls, Family Reunion... the hits keep coming.

    Which is exactly why he was tapped to direct the Malcolm in the Middle Revival series Life's Still Unfair. We recorded this interview a few weeks after the Revival dropped, so we were able to dig deep into the storylines with Ken.

    This is the cherry on top of our Revival-Palooza: getting to talk to the man who directed the return of this series and who has such a profound connection to the world of Malcolm. I'll say it in this podcast description for the whole world to see, We're in love with Ken Kwapis.

    Thank you to Ken for chatting and to Jeff for organizing this epic sequel.

    BUCKLE UP. We're talking to the wonderful and brilliant Alex Reid, writer of CLASSIC episodes like Lois's Birthday, Family Reunion, Carnival, Bully, Book Club, Clip Show, and more.

    He won an Emmy for penning the episode Bowling, and went on to write or direct for shows like the Mindy Project, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Young Sheldon. He's an absolute chiller, as all the people who helped make Malcolm in the Middle are.

    We grill Alex about life in the Linwood writers room and get into how these episodes were put together: from outline to final script.

    Alex gives insight into things we didn't even realize to ask about, like whose feet are ACTUALLY being rubbed in Old Mrs. Old? And who is doing the dang rubbing??

    This, and more, in our fabulous chat with The Reidster. He doesn't know I just called him that.

    Company Picnic Part 1 AND Part 2? In one episode? Written by the dog himself Al Higgins? Strap in YNMers.

    Willa and Ryan had to close the window due to the noise of planes flying overhead so the room RAPIDLY increased in temperature while their commentary RAPIDLY decreased in coherence.

    This is the Superbowl episode folks. And it shows.

    Hal desperately tries to avoid Stephen Root while Susan Sarandon menaces Lois leaving a helpless candy addict Dewey to relapse which makes Malcolm yell GARY SPINDLER? in the woods where Reese sticks close to his big guy George. Oh, and Francis is living in hell of course.

    Willa and Ryan make a triumphant return to finally talking about an actual episode again. Man does it feel good. In this poignant and bitingly funny episode, the siblings cover an episode where Francis kills rats, Lois gets a hideous makeover, and Hal plays dirty in basketball. Topics include: the gross leftover parfait in the cold open that Ryan thinks looks good, our geography teacher Rob who Willa thought was hot, and our pitches for some tweaks we'd make on this episode. Wow. Good to be back.

    Topics include: Linwood's inspiration for Malcolm in the Middle, a life-changing drug trip, that episode where Hal makes Lois fat, and whether Malcolm has a future in politics.

    This was a totally surreal and amazing experience. Still can't believe it happened. We got Linwood!!!!

    The child that was promised. The final NoLastName kid. KELLY.

    Ryan and Willa had the pleasure of sitting down with the unbelievably lovely Vaughan Murrae who plays the last of Hal and Lois's kids, Kelly. We talk Life's Still Unfair, fandoms, dark Sims deeds, and a very memorable audition experience.

    Big thank you to Vaughan and their team for making this happen. We feel like we have a much deeper understanding of who Kelly is and what went into bringing them to life after this interview: and you will too!

    Vaughan clearly has a bright exciting career ahead of them. We'll be able to look back at this interview someday and say... damn we had VAUGHAN MURRAE on the pod??

    Enjoy!!

    Show notes

    You've seen it, we've seen it, let's talk about it.

    Willa and Ryan go in depth on Life's Still Unfair Episodes 1 and 2.

    Malcolm is a hot mess (unsurprising), Reese is using Hal for internet fame (typical), and Stevie has a gay ableist husband (tough). At least one thing is clear: Willa was right about "Homeo".

    Please enjoy our unfiltered thoughts on the Revival. We feel so lucky people care enough to listen. Everyone will have different opinions on this series, and that's okay!


    Check out our new Subreddit started by a fabulous fan at r/YesNoMaybePod, keep an eye out for some insane interviews dropping soon, and stay sexy like Newey (New Dewey).
