David Erickson: Bill Murray is
kind of an iconic American in
many ways, right? He's been with
us for a long time. And yeah,
he's just like in a lot of
cultural moments. Saturday Night
Live. Ghostbusters.
BL Ochman: Groundhog Day.
David Erickson: Groundhog Day,
yeah. So it seems entirely
appropriate that he be put in
different iconic situations.
This is from a Metropolitan
Museum post by Sarah Barnes.
There is a Redditor named Eddy
Torigoe--I guess how you
pronounce it--who has created a
series of images that reimagines
famous artworks with Bill
Murray; in the artwork--Bill
Murray's face in the artwork.
So there's Gilbert Stuart's
famous portrait of George
Washington, with Bill Murray's
face. And you can actually
picture it right now, can't you?
There's Grant Woods American
Gothic, which is fabulous.
There's a Van Gogh
self-portrait. There's a
Rembrandt self-portrait. There's
the Uncle Sam I Want You poster.
And I was waiting for it as I
was scrolling through the page,
I'm like, oh man, they gotta
have this one and of course they
did: Whistler's Mother. We will
include that in the show notes.
