Exactly Right and iHeartPodcasts

Hollywoodland is a podcast that takes place at the intersection of Hollywood and True Crime. It's where you'll hear the stories about our most beloved actors, directors, and other icons of movie history through the lens of the crimes that have impacted them. The mysterious death of Brittany Murphy. The obsessive murder of Dorothy Stratten. Woody Harrelson's father's connection to the JFK assassination. The three conspiracies surrounding Marilyn Monroe's death. Steve McQueen's brush with Charles Manson. The indecent arrest of John Waters. Dennis Hopper's easy riding and raging '70s Hollywood. The shocking small town murder that inspired David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Heath Ledger's overdose. Robert Downey Jr. hitting rock bottom, only to stage the greatest comeback in movie history. From the Golden Age of Hollywood to New Hollywood all the way to contemporary moviemakers, Hollywoodland features tales of murder, kidnapping, organized crime, curses, disappearances, prison escapes, and hauntings. You know, the kind of stuff that makes for the best movies.

True to its subject matter, Hollywoodland is a cinematic brand of audio storytelling. Think less of a Ken Burns documentary, and more of a fast-paced, highly transgressive Martin Scorsese film, co-hosted by movie and true crime buffs Jake Brennan and Zeth Lundy. Fully scripted, sound-designed episodes from our archive are released every Monday. These "movies for your ears" are narrated by Jake and feature Double Elvis' edge-of-your-seat audio storytelling. On Wednesdays, we drop brand new "Wrap Party" episodes, a chat-style show in which Zeth responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from listeners, while also talking more about that week's subject and themes (including guest appearances by Jake for weekly recommendations). And then on Fridays, we release new "Screening Room" episodes, in which Zeth deep dives into one film – after which, the audience is encouraged to watch that film over the weekend, and then call or text the show so that we can discuss it further in the following week's Wrap Party.

BADLANDS

This week in the Screening Room, Zeth is talking about pit bosses, shift bosses, floor men, box men, the eye in the sky, and Martin Scorsese’s 1995 film ‘Casino.’ Plus we make a mixtape inspired by the film with songs by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Zappa, the Flying Burrito Brothers, and more.

Bonus Episode: So Bad They’re Good

In a single year, Sharon Stone was nominated for awards for both Best Actress and Worst Actress – for the same role. She launched a million sexual awakenings with one quick display in Basic Instinct. Her performance in that film was so vivid that it inspired stalkers to track her down. It may have even served as the inspiration for one fan to commit murder, cannibalism, and necrophilia.

Bonus Episode: Hollywood’s Origin Scandal Story

A century ago, at the birth of movie superstardom, silent film star Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was at the center of a scandal that rocked Hollywood to its core. He was accused of a murderous sex crime so depraved that it turned the nation not only against him but against Hollywood itself. It led to the trial of the century, and a test of whether America’s elite veil of privilege could be pierced by the long arm of justice. The tide of public opinion that followed was so strong that it made Hollywood change the way Hollywood did business – at least on the surface.

Bonus Episode: It’s 1969, OK!

Sharon Tate’s entanglement with Charles Manson and her husband, filmmaker Roman Polanski, as well as her involvement in some of the long-rumored hedonistic events at her home on Cielo Drive put her at the center of a counter-narrative that explosively disrupts the supposed motive for the Manson family murders. Was Sharon Tate blissfully ignorant of the darkness that had been bubbling beneath Hollywood’s shiny veneer for years? Or is there more to this story than we’ve been told in the past?

Sharon Tate Pt 2: Rape, Drugs, and Murdering New Hollywood

Sharon Tate was a sophisticated beauty who literally stopped traffic when she walked down the street. She began her movie career when America was becoming sexually liberated, and despite the ease with which she was made a sex symbol, she aspired to be respected as a serious actress. Decades later, however, she is perhaps best-remembered as one of the victims found brutally murdered at her Cielo Drive home, the one she shared with her husband, director Roman Polanski. Sharon and Roman welcomed regular guests to that home, including Sharon’s friend, Mama Cass Elliot, who was at the center of the Manson murders and whose actions may be why the motive for the murders that America has come to accept as fact is actually false.
