Fasten your seatbelts because Menendez Mania continues!  After months of living large, the brothers were finally arrested in 1990 and charged with the murder of their parents.  To quote the tagline for the TV movie: "Was it fear that made them kill or was it simply greed?" 

The trial began in 1993 and became a media sensation when it was broadcast live on cable in the heyday of trash talk shows and tabloid television.  Erik and Lyle  Menendez became household names -- and national punchlines. Their public image of being spoiled rich brats would take a turn, however, when they revealed the dark secrets of their dad, Jose Menendez. They were the first huge True Crime story before True Crime was even a thing. 

In this episode, we go over both trials (yes, there were two), what really happened on the night of the murders and all the recent developments in the case, including new evidence that could set them FREE! Hint: it involves Menudo.

Welcome to the final chapter of the Freddie Mercury saga! 

Throughout the 1970s, as Queen became the biggest band in the world, Mr. Mercury was having a good time and he didn’t want to stop at all. Then came the 1980s and a terrifying epidemic that would bring the party to a dead halt. Although under enormous pressure, Freddie wasn’t ready to bite the dust and he kept on fighting until the end. As they say in the business: the show must go on.

When you think of true Rock Royalty, there’s one name that comes to mind: Freddie Mercury - the man, the myth, the mustache. As the flamboyant frontman of Queen, he was a shooting star leaping through the sky, defying the laws of gravity and having a ball. But tragically, he would burn out far too soon. 

In this special 2 part episode, we’ll be exploring the real life of a Musical Champion and the terrible circumstances that led to his death on a quiet Sunday afternoon in 1991. If you're looking for a feel-good fantasy, go watch the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody.” This podcast may not be your bag. For the rest of you, grab your crown, raise your mic stand and get ready for a Killer time. 

In this first chapter, we cover Freddie's rise to the top of the Pops as the King of Queen. The band's worldwide success brought him fame and fortune and everything that goes with it. And by the end of the 1970s, his life revolved around sex, drugs and rock n roll. But unfortunately, there would be a heavy price.
