Video Interview: Watch 37 Houses’ Husband and Wife Play Ad Hoc ‘Newlywed Game’

Posted in Comedy, Exclusives, Fun And Games, Interviews with tags on 02/28/2025 by Kurt Orzeck

Thank you, New Noise, for publishing a video I’ve wanted to create for a while: “The Newlywed Game,” as played by rock-music spouses or significant others. Watch the husband and wife duo of 37 Houses take part in our inaugural edition of what we hope will be an ongoing series. Artist interviews are sorely in need of more levity these days, amirite?

Catch 37 Houses perform at Prototype on Mar. 15 in Paterson, NJ; and at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn, NY, on the following day.

Go to 37 Houses’ Bandcamp page for much more on the lovable lovers.

Yeah, Vince McMahon Sure Is In ‘Big Trouble’

Posted in Doppelgängers, Features, Fun And Games, Polls with tags , on 10/06/2024 by Kurt Orzeck

Lest there remain any doubt that the makers of Netflix’s new six-part docuseries about disgraced multibillionaire Vince McMahon, take a look at the kitschy movie poster that almost surely inspired Netflix’s advertising for Mr. McMahon.

The uncanny similarities between the docuseries poster and the movie poster for 1986’s Big Trouble in Little China beg a bizarre question that you’re welcome to answer in this poll:

Hollywood’s Creepy Critter Clones Capture Cinemas

Posted in Doppelgängers, Fun And Games with tags , , on 09/10/2024 by Kurt Orzeck

Open your eyes and espy these pricey billboards for two of the summer’s scariest blockbusters. With Alien Romulus and Infested sharing almost nothing in common (we won’t spoil you with any surprises), how did this odd billboard coincidence come to pass? Could it be that the marketing execs at both studios chose to borrow (or even rip off) each other’s idea? Nah. Hollywood ain’t that cynical. Right?

This novice mistake (or prank … or whatever it is) deserves a special place in the annuals of the chronicles of cinematic history.

Check out the posters:

Trivia Tuesday: Mike Pence’s Favorite Song Of All Time Is …

Posted in Fun And Games with tags , on 09/02/2024 by Kurt Orzeck

With the November election only 64 days away, incendiary discussions about politics, the role of government and the future of the United States are permeating—make that dominating—the lives of practically every American. As we watch the nauseating campaign spectacles unfold (and try not to blow chunks when vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance gets hold of a microphone), some of us long for the days when mayonnaise-on-white-toast automaton Mike Pence ran in the same capacity (and lost) on the Republican ticket four years ago. In honor of the former Indiana governor, here’s a little piece of trivia about Pence: What is his favorite song of all time?

The Dorkiest Wordplay Game In Music History

Posted in Fun And Games with tags , , on 08/11/2024 by Kurt Orzeck

The word “procrastination” doesn’t necessarily imply that a person is 100 percent idle. It just means they’re avoiding what they should be doing in favor of doing something they shouldn’t be doing. With that in mind, here’s a stupid, superfluous and solitary game that The Bad Penny calls “Procrastination: A Word Game for Music Nerds.” (Trademark pending.)

Flaming Lips
Flamin’ Groovies
Groovie Ghoulies
Groove Collective
Animal Collective
