Mike Myers is riding a wave of nostalgia this week, marking two significant anniversaries back to back — the 33rd anniversary of his romantic black comedy 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' on 31 July, and the 24th anniversary of Austin Powers in Goldmember just days earlier. The actor took to social media to share his reflections, calling it a nostalgic week for him personally.

Myers Celebrates 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' at 33

To mark the milestone, Myers shared the film's poster on social media, writing: 'A nostalgic week for me. "So I Married an Axe Murderer" was released on this day 33 years ago! #shestolemyheartandmycat #tbt.'

Released in 1993 and directed by Thomas Schlamme, the film stars Myers in a dual role — as Charlie MacKenzie, a commitment-phobic man who falls for a woman who may be a serial killer, and as Stuart, Charlie's father. Nancy Travis co-stars in the film alongside Myers.

Critically, the film received a mixed reception and underperformed at the box office upon release. However, it has since built a devoted cult following. Notably, the film's mythology inspired Myers to create The Pentaverate, a miniseries on Netflix released in May 2022, which expanded on the conspiracy theories referenced within the movie.

Austin Powers in Goldmember Turns 24

On 28 July, Myers also marked the 24th anniversary of Austin Powers in Goldmember, the third instalment in the beloved satirical spy comedy franchise. Sharing the film's poster, he captioned it: 'Yesterday July 26 was the 24th Anniversary of the release of Austin Powers "Goldmember." Hard to believe it's been 24 years! #happyanniversarymrpowers.'

Directed by Jay Roach, Goldmember features Myers in four distinct roles, including the iconic Austin Powers and Dr. Evil. The ensemble cast includes Beyoncé Knowles, Seth Green, Michael York, Robert Wagner, Mindy Sterling, Verne Troyer, and Michael Caine. The film follows Austin Powers as he confronts Dr. Evil, teams up with agent Foxxy Cleopatra, and faces the criminal mastermind Goldmember.

A Legacy That Outlasted the Box Office

Both films represent a distinctive chapter in Mike Myers' career — one defined by physical comedy, multi-character performances, and a willingness to lean into absurdist humour. While 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' initially struggled commercially, its cult status underscores how streaming and home video have reshaped the afterlife of films once deemed box-office disappointments.

As Myers continues to celebrate these milestones with fans, the dual anniversary week serves as a reminder of the enduring affection audiences hold for his most unconventional work.
