Much like Barry Berkman, the hitman turned aspiring thespian he plays on TV, Bill Hader loved heavy music as a kid. Judging by the Metallica poster glimpsed above the title character’s bed in the first episode of the HBO dark comedy Barry, which Hader co-created and stars in, Berkman is still a regular headbanger. Hader not so much. When I talked him on the phone shortly after the series debut, he struggled for a good 30 seconds to find the word for the trademark hairstyle worn by the Misfits...

Anyone who’s seen and loved the 1993 cult classic So I Married an Axe Murderer knows that its title doesn’t describe the plot literally. (If you haven’t seen it, you should know that there are spoilers ahead.) The dark romantic comedy features Mike Myers as Charlie MacKenzie, a sensitive beat poet who is deathly afraid of commitment, at least until he meets the love of his life: a beautiful butcher named Harriet, who may or may not be a serial killer. Charlie falls in love despite himself, bu...

According to the New York Times, the mild-mannered citizens of Minneapolis are bracing themselves for the hordes of feral Philadelphia Eagles fans invading their city for Sunday’s Super Bowl against the New England Patriots.

Recorded in 1978 and shelved for two decades, what should have been the band’s London Calling befuddled record execs who didn’t know what to do with a B-movie-obsessed punk with an Elvis croon.
When Static Age finally saw the light of day, in 1996, as part of The Misfits box set, it felt more like a time capsule being unearthed than a record release. By that point, singer Glenn Danzig had long since abandoned his corpse paint and so-called “horror punk” origins in search of bluesier, Black Sa...

Yes, somewhere along the way, the former Smiths frontman, born Steven Patrick Morrissey in 1959, had stopped being a lithe, witty wordsmith and morphed into Dumb Uncle Steve, the one you groaningly put up with at Thanksgiving because your dad tells you to grin and bear it.

The “Trade Mark” section of actor Willem Dafoe’s IMDB bio is an entertaining read. One item remarks that Dafoe often plays “psychotic unstable characters.” A more brutally honest item remarks that Dafoe possesses “a deeply lined face that can be contorted to frightening effect.”

In 1996, Doug Liman helmed Swingers, the breakout buddy film largely responsible for your friends saying things like, “You’re so money and you don’t even know it!” and that guy in your dormitory signing up for swing lessons. In other words, Swingers’ influence on popular culture may not have been profound, but it was briefly unavoidable.
