Double Elvis

The mysterious death of Brittany Murphy. David Lynch and the real-life brutal murder that inspired Twin Peaks. Steve McQueen’s brush with Charles Manson. The three conspiracies surrounding Marilyn Monroe’s death. The indecent arrest of John Waters. Dennis Hopper’s easy riding and excessive 70s Hollywood. Woody Harrelson’s Dad’s connection to the JFK assassination. The obsessive murder of Dorothy Stratten. Bill Murray’s bust. Chris Farley burning out too soon. Al Pacino’s armed robbery. The serial killer and Gianni Versace. Heath Ledger’s overdose. If it’s a story that meets up at the corner of Hollywood and True Crime, then it’s an episode of HOLLYWOODLAND, the show that explores the lives of our most celebrated actors and actresses through the true crimes that have most impacted them. Hosted and produced by award winning podcaster Jake Brennan, creator of DISGRACELAND, HOLLYWOODLAND is the first true spin-off of DISGRACELAND and is produced similarly with edge-of-your-seat storytelling and gripping, immersive sound design by the folks at Double Elvis. Episodes are roughly 30 minutes long and released every Monday.

BADLANDS

In the second of three special bonus episodes for the holiday season, Zeth and Double Elvis' Head of Production Matt Beaudoin do a deep dive into the 1984 classic movie 'Gremlins.' They talk about the incredible special effects, the weird mind of director Joe Dante, and the surprising ways in which it connects with the grandaddy of Christmas movies, 'It's a Wonderful Life.'

Bonus Episode: Remembering Rob Reiner, Unseen Style, and the Weirdest Movies of All Time

In 1908, a girl was brutally murdered in a small town in upstate New York. The town was seemingly idyllic, but beneath the surface, it was crawling with prostitution, orgies, deceit, and corruption. It was fueled by a political machine so powerful it could cover up not just one but multiple murders. The truth behind the murder of Hazel Drew was meant to remain unsolvable. Just like the television show it inspired over 80 years later.

This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including graphic depictions of violence.

David Lynch: A Brutal Murder, a Corrupt Small Town, and the Secret Origins of Twin Peaks

Why is it that some of the most compelling “Christmas movies” aren’t traditional Christmas movies at all, but instead use the holiday spirit as a contrast for crime, grime, and transgressive behavior? Zeth Lundy and Jake Brennan get into the Christmas spirit by talking about ‘Die Hard,’ ‘Lethal Weapon,’ ‘Eyes Wide Shut,’ ‘Goodfellas,’ and more.

Bonus Episode: Trash vs. Treasure and Tarantino Talking Trash

The films of John Waters were so nasty, so shocking ,and so subversive that shock author William Burroughs called him "The Pope of Trash." But from his beginnings in X-rated art films to cult classics like Hairspray and Crybaby, John Waters created and cultivated his own peculiar niche in film while nurturing the unique company of players who became a family of outcasts.

Bonus Episode: Where Are All the Thanksgiving Movies?

Hugh Grant infamously almost tanked his budding movie career when he was caught with a sex worker on the Sunset Strip. He was arrested a second time when he assaulted paparazzi outside his house…with a Tupperware container full of baked beans. But perhaps most shocking of all, he wore a wire to interview a tabloid reporter and wound up cracking open a phone-hacking case that implicated both the London police and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Hugh Grant: Sex on the Sunset Strip, Assault with a Non-Deadly Weapon, and Cracking Open

The death of a neighborhood friend, an attempted robbery that almost went horribly wrong, good vs. evil, and the road not taken: this is the Al Pacino origin story. It all culminates in the role of a lifetime. Not Michael Corleone. Not a role on stage or screen. The most important role of Al Pacino’s young life played out in front of a couple of detectives and a district attorney.
