Before he pumped us up as one half of Hans and Franz, before he sang about chopping broccoli and before he orbited “Wayne’s World,” Dana Carvey was the Church Lady.

The perpetually pious Enid Strict debuted on the Season 12 premiere of Saturday Night Live — which, amazingly, also doubled as Carvey’s first episode ever — as the host of a cable access show called Church Chat where Carvey, dressed as a good Christian woman in her Sunday best, brought on a cadre of celebrity guests, both real and impersonated, and chided them for their improper behavior.

While the Church Lady was an imitation of a churchgoer Carvey knew growing up, he didn’t shape the character alone, someone else had a hand in it, too. Could it be… Satan?

Nope, it was veteran SNL writer Rosie Shuster who, after being there for SNL’s original run, returned to the writing staff...

Despite what plenty of Seo-chasing articles may try to tell you, there is no single perfect post-Thanksgiving meal movie that will suit every household. From those families diving deep into a shared tryptophan haze to those less traditional celebrants whose meals and festivities don’t look a thing like a Charlie Brown TV special,...

Since 1964, Clint Eastwood has been a Hollywood legend, having found stardom by playing the Man With No Name in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy. Taking on a variety of roles, from grizzled cowboys to morally ambiguous detectives, the actor/director has been responsible for some of the most critically acclaimed movies. However, not every one of his movies lands with audiences -- despite some being excellent.

Eastwood has more legendary films under his belt than most actors, from Where Eagles Dare and Kelly's Heroes to Dirty Harry and Unforgiven. Like any actor, however, he has his share of films that, despite being decent stories, didn't make a good impression on audiences or critics. From off-brand dramas to forgotten thrillers, the star has no shortage of underrated movies that are still worth a look.

Cry Macho...

If there’s a downside to living to 94 and remaining healthy enough to work in Hollywood after being an entertainment icon in seven different decades, it’s that your films become impossible to separate from the arc of your life. A straightforward legal thriller can’t possibly be evaluated on its own terms when it hails from the nonagenarian who played Sergio Leone’s Man with No Name, sold countless .44 Magnums with an invitation to make his day, befriended a monkey in the two stupidest movies of the ‘70s, directed “Unforgiven,” “Letters From Iwo Jima,” “The Bridges of Madison County,” and “Million Dollar Baby,” spoke to an empty chair at the Republican National Convention, and spent the Covid-19 pandemic declaring his admiration for anyone who names his cock Macho.

When Clint Eastwood’s 40th directorial effort, “Juror #2,” premiered at AFI Fest 2024, it was accompanied by the hefty expectations that...

Clint Eastwood is one of the most iconic actors of all time, with critically acclaimed performances and commercial success. Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson has been a significant box-office crowd-puller, making him one of the biggest stars. As a result, fans of the two actors would be surprised to learn of one similarity between their careers.

Eastwood and Johnson have been extremely careful with their choice of roles for most of their career, trying to protect the image they have created on the big screen. As a result, both actors avoid playing negative roles. Nonetheless, Eastwood has far darker and more understandable reasoning behind his choice of not playing the villain, and here is what he had to say.

Clint Eastwood and Dwayne Johnson Refrain From Playing the Villains

It’s time to make “Y.M.C.A.” great again. People in the streets of Philadelphia are dancing to “Y.M.C.A.” in celebration of the news that Joe Biden has taken the lead in Pennsylvania. That means he’s nearly clinched the presidential race — hopefully to be called tonight. The Village People’s Seventies disco classic is extra spicy because Donald Trump spent the year using “Y.M.C.A.” at his campaign rallies as his theme song, along with another Village People classic, “Macho Man.” For any disco fan,...
