You know, when most people think of the Peanuts gang, they picture simple joys: Snoopy doing his happy dance, Lucy yanking that football, or Charlie Brown staring existentially at the sky, pondering the futility of life. What people don’t picture is a shadowy curse hanging over the kids who voiced these characters. But here we are.

Yes, Deados, today we’re tackling one of pop culture’s weirdest urban legends: the so-called ‘Peanuts Curse.’ Now, I know what you’re thinking—‘Curse? Really? This isn’t The Exorcist, it’s Charlie freakin’ Brown!’ And yet, the lives of many Peanuts voice actors have been marked by tragedy, struggles, or just plain bad luck. It’s as if the universe took one look at these kids and said, ‘You know what, it’s not enough for Charlie Brown to lose at baseball. Let’s make life harder for everyone involved.’

So grab your security blanket, brace yourself for a therapy session with Lucy, and join us as we dive headfirst into the offbeat, bizarre, and occasionally heartbreaking world of the Peanuts Voice Cast Curse. Who knows? Maybe by the end of this, we’ll find out the Great Pumpkin isn’t so great after all.” That’s TODAY on Death in Entertainment.

On March 7, 1999, the film industry was rocked with the news that legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick passed away unexpectedly at his home in England. His mysterious death came just days after showing a rough cut of Eyes Wide Shut to the bigwigs at Warner Bros and months before its scheduled release. It had been a long and demanding production. Did the stress of it all finally get to him? Or was something more sinister at play? 

You see, the movie digs deep into the nefarious activities of a secret society and exposes uncomfortable truths. Deep enough to anger a group of billionaires with cloaks and connections? Perhaps. Whether Kubrick died of an unexpected heart attack or if he was murdered by the Illuminati, one thing is certain: Eyes Wide Shut did end his life. We unravel the conspiracy, today on Death in Entertainment!

Are you fed up with small portion sizes? Does the label “gluten-free” make you sick? Do you want your arteries clogged with grease? If you answered yes to all 3 questions, then grab your stretchy pants and defibrillator because we’ve got a reservation at The Heart Attack Grill! 

It’s a hospital-themed restaurant where nurses serve you humongous burgers deep fried in lard and then spank you if you fail to clean your plate. The owner, who calls himself Dr. Jon, proudly admits that his food will kill you. And he ain't kiddin'! Several loyal customers have dined and died there over the years. That’s not only a fact, it’s a selling point. But despite the grim prognosis, business is booming. It’s become a kind of high calorie curiosity in Las Vegas. The very picture of American excess. Bon Appetit!

Pat Tillman is an American Hero. Rising from humble roots in California, to becoming a star athlete at Arizona State and eventually being drafted to the Arizona Cardinals in the National Football League— Pat seemingly had it all. But the events of September 11th, 2001 and the ensuing war on terror made him realize how little football meant to the world. 

Soon after the Towers fell, Pat Tillman turned down two NFL contracts totaling over 12 million dollars to join the US military until becoming increasingly against the war before his untimely death and before the US government controlled his legacy. Today we separate the real Pat Tillman from the one you think you know. That’s TODAY on Death in Entertainment.

Okay. I’m not even going to sugarcoat it. This is a sad episode. A life cut way too short. Selfishly and mercilessly. 

Judith Barsi was a prolific child actress who was the voice of many of our childhoods (The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven).  She was failed by her family, Hollywood and the world. That’s today on Death in Entertainment. Yep, yep, yep!

Matthew Perry is dead at age 54 after a long history of substance abuse. He was found unresponsive in his hot tub after an apparent drowning due to cardiac arrest. More details to come on his exact cause of death.

Perry had a career filled with hits (a little show called FRIENDS...hello!!!), misses (best we forget THE WHOLE TEN YARDS) and everything in between (STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP). In 2022, he published a brutally honest memoir called FRIENDS, LOVERS AND THE BIG TERRIBLE THING, which focuses on his never-ending battle with drug addiction. 

We were recording another episode when we got the breaking news about his death on 10/28/2023. This is our reaction. Could it BE any timelier? We go over his life and career, plus insane stories from his book.

 Actor Brad Renfro (The Client, Bully) came from a Knoxville, Tennessee Trailer Park to become one of the most sought-after talents in Hollywood.  Known for his tough gritty demeanor and solid screen presence, Brad was at the top of his game until his addictions slowly chipped at a once-promising movie career and eventually killed him at the age of 25.

We explore all that plus the disturbing allegations that director Bryan Singer behaved inappropriately towards Renfro on and off the set of a major Hollywood movie. Could that have led to his downfall? Find out today on Death in Entertainment!
