Mad Men Season 6: Vincent Kartheiser talks about playing Pete Campbell

Mad Men Season 6 premieres Sunday, April 7, at 9pm ET on AMC. Vincent Kartheiser never thought he’d be here. After becoming something of a teen idol in the ’90s with movies like Alaska and Masterminds, he figured his time in the profession would be limited. “When I was a young man, being a teen actor was like the kiss of death,” he says. “There was no way you were going to get out of it. Well, it turned out, we were all wrong. I mean, you look at so many of those teen actors who have gone on to [...]

Tonight’s episode of AMC’s Freakshow, “The Littlest Wedding” (9:30pm ET), features Amazing Ali (the littlest lady in L.A., standing at just 3’5″) and her upcoming nuptials to fellow little person Matt. Ali shares her wedding options with Venice Beach Freakshow owners and friends Todd and Danielle Ray, contemplating whether she should have a big wedding. Of course, Todd Ray — whose driving force of life is that feeling of pure amazement and astonishment — would never settle for something simple. Todd suggests going big. “Go grand and people will remember it forever, and you will too,” he tells Ali. Todd pulls [...]

The Walking Dead Live: Nicotero, Cohan, Reedus and Yeun enjoy fan love and beer in Milwaukee

This weekend, more than 2,500 fans crowded into Milwaukee’s Riverside Theater for a pair of Q&A sessions with The Walking Dead co-executive producer and special effects guru Greg Nicotero and stars Steven Yeun (Glenn), Lauren Cohan (Maggie) and Norman Reedus (Daryl). As slobbering uberfans of the record-breaking AMC hit, my husband and I scored seats at the 10pm show amid mohawks and zombie wannabes, grandmas and middle-aged couples who might have seemed more at home at the comedy shows, concerts and author chats more common to the venue. Plenty of audience members had clearly made liberal use of the numerous [...]

Immortalized: AMC series explores world of competitive taxidermy

Beth Beverly, one of the taxidermists on AMC’s Immortalized, strives in the world of competitive taxidermy. Wait, you didn’t know there was a world of competitive taxidermy? Well, that’s why it’s great we have shows like Immortalized to open up new parts of the world for us. The unscripted AMC series — premiering Feb. 14 at 10pm — is stuffed (sorry) with interesting people carrying out a profession some deem art while others find it just plain creepy. In each episode, one of the four “Immortalizers” — Beverly, Dave Houser, Page Nethercutt and Takeshi Yamada — will face off against a [...]

The Walking Dead star Steven Yeun on Glenn’s changing role as the prison and Woodbury collide

When Glenn Rhee first appeared on The Walking Dead, he was a ball-cap-wearing smartass who put the encyclopedic knowledge of a city that only a pizza-delivery guy can claim to good use in getting his fellow survivors out of tough spots. Not that it earned him much respect. As the AMC hit drama’s third season returns Feb. 10, Glenn has evolved from a flaky kid into a purposeful, mentally and physically adept warrior thanks to the love of a good woman and the realization that he’s capable of so much more than scrambling through sewers. “I think it’s been an [...]

If you’re a fan of The Walking Dead, Chris Hardwick has your dream job. As host of Talking Dead, the freewheeling after-show for the hit zombie drama, the comic and Nerdist podcaster gets to have the same intense, post-episode conversations that we do — but with a much cooler crowd that includes TWD’s cast and creators and a throng of celebrities gleefully letting their fan flag fly. The rest of us can take part, too, via call-in questions and online commentary. And when Talking returns in its new hourlong incarnation after The Walking Dead’s Feb. 10 midseason premiere, Hardwick hopes [...]

“The Walking Dead” brings new characters, struggles for Season 3

It’s hard to believe now, but two years ago people weren’t sure if The Walking Dead belonged on a tony network like AMC. This was, after all, the home of Mad Men and Breaking Bad, not to mention its stable of classic Hollywood films. How would some zombie show based on a (gasp!) comic book fit in? Quite well, it turns out. The Walking Dead immediately set rating records for AMC, and fan fervor has only grown, with the Season 2 finale in March pulling in a jaw-dropping 9 million viewers. The show was also one of the biggest attractions [...]

AMC and Anthony Bourdain say you’d better watch “Mob Week”

Yeah, tough guy, I’m lookin’ at you. So you’ve seen Goodfellas more times than there are oranges in The Godfather. And you’ve seen The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II — judiciously skipping the oft-maligned Part III — so often that you half believe that the reason Michael Corleone hasn’t called you up is because he keeps his enemies closer. Well, you’re gonna get a chance to see all of these films again, but you’re also gonna get the chance to dig further into the gangster film canon than television typically dishes out when AMC has New York chef, author [...]
