Bill Burr is one of the more successful stand-up comedians of his generation. He has been performing in the comedy circuit for 30 years and his brand of humor has become more relevant than ever. His unique take on current events isn’t for the squeamish, politically-correct crowd. There are no cheesy feel-good moments in his shows- no celebratory “we’re all in this together” pats on the back a la Jo Koy. Oh no, sir. Bill Burr’s humor cuts close to the bone- so close in fact, that he has been branded a misogynist. Considered a comedian’s comedian, Burr’s subjects deal with some of the most fundamental questions of what it is that makes us human- faults and all. His inability to suffer fools gladly makes for some of the most entertaining, if not cathartic, comedy routines out there. But how exactly did Bill Burr become one of the greatest comics of all time? Let’s take a look at Burr’s beginnings and how his journey led him to the top.

When Quentin Tarantino made his first film ‘My Best Friend’s Birthday’ in 1987, he was an inexperienced director who had more enthusiasm than talent. Fast forward to 2022 and with 12 feature films under his directorial belt, Tarantino is now considered one of the best directors of his generation. His early films single-handedly reinvigorated a then limp film industry that was churning out the usual pap to audiences who are incapable of distinguishing Cassavetes from common feces.But kidding aside, the fact that most of his movies (characterized by nonlinear storylines, stylized violence, dark humor, and dialogue-driven narratives) became Hollywood blockbusters is no small feat.Let's examine how this proud, self-proclaimed film geek found himself on equal footing with the directorial heavyweights of the past and take a peek at his fortune and net worth.

Every once in a while, a piece of art comes along that is so expertly crafted, so beautiful, and so profound it touches everyone who sees it. There's the Mona Lisa, the Statue of David, the Sistine Chapel, and then there's 'Raised by Wolves,' the science fiction masterpiece created by Aaron Guzikowski. As soon as I saw it, I was obsessed. It took up every free second, from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. I was incapable of thinking about anything else. I watched the show on a loop, examining all of the intricate details, the plot points, the character's expressions, cave paintings, and strange alphabets, gleaning new pieces of information as I did.

It's hard to forget young Richard Gere, with his ridiculous burgundy sunglasses, his jacket thrown over his shoulder, walking down the street wearing pants so tight you could see everything. Even 42 years later, his film, American Gigolo, still has sex appeal. How could it not? He was a handsome brunette with the perfect profile and a cocky attitude--his swagger, his refusal to be owned or even loved; it was intriguing, and the film didn't shy away from open displays of sexuality. There was phone sex, real sex, and nude pillow talk. Gere played that camera like a fiddle. Now there's a new gigolo in town, played by Jon Bernthal in a remake television series with the same name, and while we don't mind looking, there's a lot more to it than sex appeal.

Who would've thought that Steve Carell, the star of 'The Office' and the '40 Year-Old Virgin' could put on such a memorable performance in a psychological thriller? He's the master of dad jokes, witty enough to get us laughing our heads off and awkward enough to drive a punchline home. Thrillers don't seem to be his thing, but 'The Patient,' which also stars Domnhall Gleeson, is riveting and raw, and it benefits greatly from Carell's style. It wouldn't be the same without him. Carell plays a psychologist who wakes up to find himself chained to the floor in a strange room. He was abducted by one of the patients he was seeing, a serial killer who is desperate to find the treatment he needs. Currently, Carell's fate hangs in the balance. We're not sure where we're going to go yet, but we don't mind guessing.
