Anthony Pellicano (80s/90s P.I. to the stars) Plus, the real Perry Mason (Non-Creep)

What a CreepSeason 21, Episode 1Anthony Pellicano“Creepy Hollywood PI!”Today’s episode gives you the world of underground Hollywood creepiness of the 1980s & 19990s variety. Anthony Pellicano (Whose New York Times documentary Sin Eater is available for streaming on HULU) was a high-profile “fixer” who made life horrifying or amazing, depending on whether you were his client. (Hint--for $25,000, he will bend A LOT of rules and laws to help your cause.) Here we talk about his unusual career, why he ended up being sentenced to 15 years in federal prison, and who enabled him to succeed as long as he did.
