Urban MythsRating: 3.9/5 (with 7 votes)
Urban Myths is a British biographical comedy drama television series first aired on 19 January 2017 on the Sky Arts. Each episode featured an anecdote surrounding popular culture loosely based on a true story, ranging from Muhammad Ali talking a man down from a ledge to Bob Dylan turning up on a stranger's doorstep in London. A second series was announced featuring The Sex Pistols and Salvador Dalí, which began airing on 12 April 2018. The series was most notable for a controversy surrounding the casting of Joseph Fiennes in the role of Michael Jackson, an episode that was pulled from transmission. ()

#2 | 10/14/2020When Joan Kissed Barbra
2.5/5 (with 1 vote)
As Joan Rivers told it, before she and Barbra Streisand were famous, they were in an off-Broadway play together. Failing as a club comic and returning to more artistic pursuits, Rivers demanded she be cast in the production without even reading the script. The result: the role she was given called for a love scene between herself and Streisand.
