The Cleveland Balloonfest Fiasco of 1986 (Episode 142)
Death In Entertainment
11/08/24 • 73 min
I want you to picture 1.5 million balloons floating through the sky. The year is 1986. And it happened in Cleveland, Ohio. The stunt was supposed to save the city, but instead it turned into a PR disaster. The streets were littered, the airport was shut down and 2 fishermen went missing.
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!

Rest in Grease: Last Meals at the Heart Attack Grill (Episode 146 ft. Ben Kissel)
Death In Entertainment
12/10/24 • 50 min
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!

Kid 90s: The Tragic Tale of Jonathan Brandis (Episode 143 ft. Ben Kissel)
Death In Entertainment
11/14/24 • 87 min
Child stardom is a strange thing. One day you’re on the cover of Tiger Beat, plastered on every teen girl’s locker, and starring on a popular TV show with the guy from "Jaws." The next day, you’re chewed up and spit out like a piece of gum stuck on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
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.

The Sudden Death of Matthew Perry: Could This BE Any More Shocking? (Minisode #6)
Death In Entertainment
11/01/23 • 43 min
Matthew Perry is dead at age 54 after a long history of substance abuse. He was found unresponsive in his hot tub after an apparent drowning due to cardiac arrest. More details to come on his exact cause of death.
Perry had a career filled with hits (a little show called FRIENDS...hello!!!), misses (best we forget THE WHOLE TEN YARDS) and everything in between (STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP). In 2022, he published a brutally honest memoir called FRIENDS, LOVERS AND THE BIG TERRIBLE THING, which focuses on his never-ending battle with drug addiction.
We were recording another episode when we got the breaking news about his death on 10/28/2023. This is our reaction. Could it BE any timelier? We go over his life and career, plus insane stories from his book.

What Really Happened to Pat Tillman? (Episode 145 ft. Ben Kissel)
Death In Entertainment
12/04/24 • 77 min
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. But the events of September 11th, 2001 and the ensuing war on terror made him realize how little football meant to the world.
Soon after the Towers fell, Pat Tillman turned down two NFL contracts totaling over 12 million dollars to join the US military until becoming increasingly against the war before his untimely death and before the US government controlled his legacy. Today we separate the real Pat Tillman from the one you think you know. That’s TODAY on Death in Entertainment.
