Death In Entertainment

The guys re-visit topics from the D.I.E. Podcast and expand on them. In this installment we return to Episode numbah 3: Adrienne Shelly.

On November 1, 2006, Shelly was found hanging in her Greenwich Village apartment. It looked like a suicide. But why? Her first major movie (Waitress) was about to hit Sundance. And she had a family she adored. 

Her husband Andy Ostroy set about proving that it was actually murder -- and he did just that! On this postmortem, we discuss all new developments since we first tackled the subject, including the release of the documentary 'Adrienne,' directed by Ostroy himself. And it features a powerful in-prison interview with her killer!
