Bill Murray has appeared in a number of [Wes Anderson's films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-of-tim-burton), but I never quite saw the hipster connection until I saw Eads' work. This 'Wes Anderson's Bill Murrays' series recreates Murray's starring roles in films like 'The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou' and 'Groundhog Day.'
