We’re back! Spencer’s giving us the lowdown on some celebrities who dabbled in the death space before rising to fame, and then Madison is teaching us all about thanatomimesis. We’ve got an obituary for someone who took after their father, and one for a real rhino of a man. Oh, and we didn’t forget we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminallllllls!
