My Interview With Riki Lindhome

Last year, Riki Lindhome debuted a one-woman musical, Dead Inside, about her struggles with infertility. Now, she's putting out an album based on that show. For Cracked, I had a long, fun conversation with Lindhome about the album, No Worries If Not, as well as marriage, motherhood and life as a solo artist after years of being in Garfunkel and Oates. Hope you enjoy.

SXSW 2025: 'Slanted' Review

The final film I was going to review out of SXSW was one that I'd grab when I got home: the narrative jury winner. The prize went to Slanted, which is about a Chinese-American teenager who wants to be prom queen. Her plan? Undergo a procedure that will turn her into a blonde white girl. My review is here.

Patti Smith Group - "Because the Night"
