Canned Air #314 The Show Won't Go On

We start this weeks episode talking about the most memorable deaths in comics, movies and television in the Retro Roundtable. We look at films like Raiders of the Lost Ark, True Lies, as well as comics like TMNT and Wolverine. Let us know your favorite fictional death on Facebook and Twitter! Then we welcome co-author of the new book The Show Wont Go On: The Most Shocking, Bizarre, and Historic Deaths of Performers Onstage, Jeff Abraham. From the comedy magician who dropped dead on live television to the amateur thespian who expired during a play called The Art of Murder, the book is a celebration of lives both famous and obscure, as well as a dramatic and accurate recounting of events leading to the moments they died "doing what they loved." The Show Won't Go On covers almost every genre of entertainment, and is full of unearthed anecdotes, exclusive interviews, colorful characters and ironic twists. With dozens of heart-stopping stories, it's the perfect book to dip into on any page.
