New York Doll brilliantly tells the story of legendary New York Dolls bass player Arthur “Killer” Kane from his days as a genre-bending rocker to his conversion to Mormonism to his unlikely return to the stage in 2004. There are many twists and turns along the way that make Kane’s story interesting as fuck. So set your DVR to record Showtime Next at 7:35 AM on Saturday morning, and thank us later.

Autopsy’s Dr. Michael Baden is a cool dude. I had the pleasure of eating dinner with him and interviewing for a murder trial i covered in ny. he’s quite the character.
