One of the two stars of “American Movie” who probably should’ve died decades ago, lived to see 56.

RIP, to a legend. Theatrical mockery, man.

That really is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen.

I was living in Milwaukee when that movie came out and literally bumped into Mark Borchardt at a bar/BBQ place on Water Street. Kinda funny seeing him in person when he was somewhat a media darling at the time.

That's too bad he was a good dude. Got sober then became a gambling addict who had one of the guys from his AA meetings drive him to his gambler's anonymous meetings and they'd stop for lottery tickets on the way.
