Yet the singer’s omnivorous career over the three decades since has somewhat proven the lie in those words.Ever since he joined Faith No More in 1988, while still fronting his high school band Mr Bungle, Patton has followed his every muse to become rock’s most…

I Love My Dad SXSW 2022 Patton Oswalt is touting the newest dark comedy he stars in, I Love My Dad, as the cure you need for Netflix fatigue — or at least, that’s what you would gather from the comedian and actor’s latest post on Twitter. Oswalt shared an image for I Love My Dad juxtaposed with one of Netflix’s true crime documentary shows, I Just Killed My Dad, with the humorous caption, “It’s called COUNTER PROGRAMMING PEOPLE!” In all likelihood, this isn’t a genuine reflection of Oswalt’s dislike of…

Eternals sequel might be happening with Chloé Zhao returning to direct. Patton Oswalt accidentally spilled the beans in an interview with The Today Show, suggesting that an Eternals sequel has been "announced". The 53-year-old actor-comedian voiced Pip the Troll in the 2021 film, and hopes for more scenes with him and Starfox, played by Harry Styles.

Image: Marvel StudiosOut of all the Marvel films, I feel like the internet is most divided over Eternals, the blockbuster superhero film directed by Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao. With a bit of a bonkers plot, an ensemble of 10 new superheroes, and convoluted MCU-ification of the timeline, there was a lot for fans to take in. But despite the naysayers, Patton Oswalt, who played Pip the Troll (a character introduced during an end-credit scene), has good news for Eternals fans.On The Today Show, Oswalt was able to nerd out about…

His face-voice combo has that special something that makes a person a sought-after character actor…
