Hollywood Urban Legends w/ James Oliva

Hollywood: Stars and Glamor, but also murder and curses? It’s more likely than you think. We’re joined by audio drama creator, James Oliva, to do a deep dive into the urban legends and spooky happenstances of Hollywood and the movie industry. Featuring William Shatner as the virtuous hero(???), why an incubus should be called a dudeubus, and the story of James Dean, Lesbian Icon. Content warning: discussion of death, suicide, sexual assault, domestic violence, homicide, and motor vehicle accidents.
