  • GOOD GRIEF! The Curse of the Peanuts Gang (Episode 148)
    Dec 26 2024

    You know, when most people think of the Peanuts gang, they picture simple joys: Snoopy doing his happy dance, Lucy yanking that football, or Charlie Brown staring existentially at the sky, pondering the futility of life. What people don’t picture is a shadowy curse hanging over the kids who voiced these characters. But here we are.

    Yes, Deados, today we’re tackling one of pop culture’s weirdest urban legends: the so-called ‘Peanuts Curse.’ Now, I know what you’re thinking—‘Curse? Really? This isn’t The Exorcist, it’s Charlie freakin’ Brown!’ And yet, the lives of many Peanuts voice actors have been marked by tragedy, struggles, or just plain bad luck. It’s as if the universe took one look at these kids and said, ‘You know what, it’s not enough for Charlie Brown to lose at baseball. Let’s make life harder for everyone involved.’

    So grab your security blanket, brace yourself for a therapy session with Lucy, and join us as we dive headfirst into the offbeat, bizarre, and occasionally heartbreaking world of the Peanuts Voice Cast Curse. Who knows? Maybe by the end of this, we’ll find out the Great Pumpkin isn’t so great after all.” That’s TODAY on Death in Entertainment.

  • Eyes Wide Open: Was Stanley Kubrick Murdered by the Illuminati? (Episode 147 feat. Jeri Aquino)
    Dec 18 2024

    On March 7, 1999, the film industry was rocked with the following news: (CLIP) His mysterious death came just days after showing a rough cut of Eyes Wide Shut to the bigwigs at Warner Bros and months before its scheduled release. It had been a long and demanding production. Did the stress of it all finally get to him? Or was something more sinister at play?

    You see, the movie digs deep into the nefarious activities of a secret society and exposes uncomfortable truths. Deep enough to anger a group of billionaires with cloaks and connections? Perhaps. Whether Kubrick died of an unexpected heart attack or if he was murdered by the Illuminati, one thing is certain: Eyes Wide Shut did end his life. We unravel the conspiracy, today on Death in Entertainment!

    Dec 10 2024

    Are you fed up with small portion sizes? Does the label “gluten-free” make you sick? Do you want your arteries clogged with grease? If you answered yes to all 3 questions, then grab your stretchy pants and defibrillator because we’ve got a reservation at The Heart Attack Grill!

    It’s a hospital-themed restaurant where nurses serve you humongous burgers deep fried in lard and then spank you if you fail to clean your plate. The owner, who calls himself Dr. Jon, proudly admits that his food will kill you. And he ain't kiddin'! Several loyal customers have dined and died there over the years. That’s not only a fact, it’s a selling point. But despite the grim prognosis, business is booming. It’s become a kind of high calorie curiosity in Las Vegas. The very picture of American excess. Bon Appetit!

    Pat Tillman is an American Hero. Rising from humble roots in California, to becoming a star athlete at Arizona State and eventually being drafted to the Arizona Cardinals in the National Football League— Pat seemingly had it all.

Today we separate the real Pat Tillman from the one you think you know. That’s TODAY on Death in Entertainment.

    Jonathan Brandis was on top of the world at 17. At 27, he was gone. Behind the striking blue eyes and lovable smirk, was a river of sadness. This is the story of a young actor caught between who he was, who he wanted to be, and who the industry thought he should be.

    Nov 8 2024

    It’s a story of good intentions, bad planning, and one very regrettable Guinness World record. We're going up, up and away, today on Death in Entertainment!
