Music Kiss has made many appearances in comic books, but they left a personal touch on a specific issue from Marvel Published on June 11, 2023 2 min read Gene Simmons is known for his eccentricities.

Would we have even wanted a full-assed treatment of this concept? “I noticed that you’re wearing a shirt. Is everything okay?” That’s one of the first questions Zach Galifianakis asks Matthew McConaughey in the opening scene of Between Two Ferns: The Movie, and it reminds you that this whole schtick, while pretty old by now, still works. Galifianakis’s Emmy-winning, cheapozoid online fake mini-interview series, in which he guilelessly asked famous guests all sorts of awkward questions — some pretend-ignorant, some pretend-cruel — had a nice, sporadic run, and doesn’t post much nowadays, but its comic spirit hasn’t dated.

Two icons. Like the majority of Gen-Zers her age, Billie Eilish is completely, hopelessly obsessed with The Office. She’s so obsessed, in fact, that one of the stunning tracks on her debut album, “My Strange Addiction,” weaves in a bunch of dialogue from the show’s beloved episode “Threat Level Midnight,” where Michael Scott (Steve Carell) unveils his movie magnum opus to a divisive crowd at Dunder Mifflin. Iconic dialogue such as “I haven’t done that dance since my wife died” and “You should enter it in festivals” wound up in the song, and as with any sample, proper clearance was required for Eilish to include them without legal repercussions.
