    Kyle is from Boston.
    Enough said.

    Ben
    Here’s Ben again, it was so PAINFULLY obvious that Ben did NOT like Alejandro from the start. It was all the tiny interactions. Ben quite literally would not laugh at any joke or quip Alejandro made. To the point where it became very noticeable for me. There were other subtleties as well, but the point is drama follows Ben everywhere he seems to go. It’s just not a coincidence to me that everything was fine with Alejandro until Ben came in. I only gathered all that from listening. Another show more or less ruined by this wet napkin of a podcast host in Ben.

    Death IS entertainment
    One of my favorite podcasts. These guys crack me up and the episodes are always so interesting. Would love to hear one about Kevin Peter Hall someday!

    One of two patreons that I will gladly support. Love this show even though I’m not huge into the entertainment world! These guys just make it that good!

    Been listening since day 1
    Fantastic podcast! or at least it was. I’m not a fan of Ben and after doing some digging I even more dislike him now. I’m all for giving people a second chance, but only after they take accountability for their actions. Which it seems like Ben has done none of, only blaming and denying. I’d be careful with someone like that around your beautiful young family and business. Not sure what happened with Alejandro but he’s missed. Kyle you’re awesome! I’m giving 5 stars because I don’t want this podcast to tank, but Aubrey some upgrades are needed.
  • Ben Kissel
    Kyle is the best
    Love what Kyle created! Such a legend with a huge future. Recommend
  • As Scene by Dave
    Best podcast ever!
    I’ve never been a podcast person, they’ve always bored me to death…but this show has me itching for more and more. Kyle is hilarious, a great show with dark humor which I appreciate. That Ben guy is okay too, haha.

    🎶 just gonna have to be a different man 🎶 Love Mark and was sad when he left, same case with Alejandro. Looking forward to seeing how you and Ben run the show together and perhaps with a 3rd host again down the road. Keep on keepin on

    My Favorite Podcast!!!
    After discovering this show (thank you Ben!!) I was obsessed and impressed! I went back and binged every episode over the past 5-6 months. It quickly became my favorite podcast to listen to, even over other shows that I’ve been following for years! I appreciate the dark humor and the deep dive research. I’ve learned a lot and laughed even more. I will always support this show even when changes needs to be made. I love that Kyle cares so much about delivering great episodes and is transparent with us listeners. I look forward to each new episode :) here’s to many more to come!!
  • Mirandagiminez
    Super entertaining!
    Ben and Kyle do such a great job mixing true crime with pop culture in Death in Entertainment. The stories are wild, their banter is hilarious, and you can tell they’ve done their homework. It’s like hanging out with funny friends who know all the dark Hollywood secrets.
  • FKeaux
    Can’t stop listening
    Kyle’s a fantastic storyteller. Every episode feels well researched and presented in an entertaining and engaging way.
  • Ce77
    Bring back Alejandro!
    Where is Alejandro? Bring him back.
  • De_de_2000
    Where is Alejandro??
    I can’t believe Ben Kissel was able to slide in and ruin the show. Ever since he came in he’s been so obviously trying to force himself as a replacement for Alejandro. And now Alejandro has just been ERASED from the show as if he never existed?!! I’m so grossed out by this. Ben is so smarmy and adds nothing to the show. Alejandro was the one with all the entertainment knowledge too. BTW- You can’t stick to a weekly schedule to save your lives. I waited for this episode to hear you explain why Alejandro was erased. Then nothing was even mentioned?!!! shame on you. The disrespect for your ORIGINAL co creator and host is disgusting. Unfollow.
  • Micah vvvv
    Was the best!
    Absolutely love the show, don’t listen anymore cause Ben not a fan and boring.
  • Ms. Minerva
    Came for BK stayed for Alejandro
    Long time fan of Ben Kissel, Alejandro’s always there w/the brilliant one liners, & Kyle(Tola)is now my favorite conspiracy theorist. Keep it comin’!
  • passmarie
    I’m Hooked!
    I’ve been listening to Ben since the RTOG and LPOTL days, and now I’m all in on Death in Entertainment. He, Alejandro, and Kyle have such a great vibe together, so much fun to listen to and they really pull you into the stories with some laughs along the way. Just a great podcast all around!
  • meow23456789
    Wow
    Great to hear Ben again and not have to listen to that moron Henry yell over everyone while trying to be funny
  • idontknowY
    Snow white episode
    Ironic that they talk about how the original disney cartoon was changed and then complain about them trying to update the show to modern sensibilities. I am so tired of whiney snowflakes complaining about diverse casting. Get over yourselves. Crazy how far ben has fallen
  • Slimmer 86
    Great times
    Fantastic show. Ben brought me but I’ve since gone back and listened to older episodes. Very entertaining! Keep up the great work.
  • Rubygirl214
    My new favorite!
    I stumbled on your podcast since I’m a regular True Crime listener and love pop culture… the algorithm sent you to me and I couldn’t be happier. I love your pitch black senses of humor and how well researched your stories are A++++
  • BrandiRed
    Ben brought me
    Came here for Ben and I really love love it. Only thing I am patron member for. Binged alll the episodes in a month!! ****Edit. - oops. Here is the extra star *****
  • KDKahBoom
    A happy new find.
    Came for Ben Kissel, staying for the content. I am laughing so much and am finding the gallows humor is just what I need to survive the bizarro world we are inhabiting, so thank you!
  • Foxfire01
    Ben Kissel
    Used to love the show! Was a lot of fun and listened often. Suddenly in the last few months, Ben Kissel was a guest often. That turned me off a little, but I stayed for Kyle and Alejandro. But now you’ve added Kissel as a third host, so time to unsubscribe. Kissel is an abuser who has not apologized for his behavior. I’m all for reform, but Ben has not shown himself to be remorseful or apologetic for his behavior.
  • Minersechs
    Happy I found you guys
    Originally found this show because of Ben Kissel. I stopped listening to his old shows when he left, so my true crime comedy fix has not been fulfilled for some time. This show has the perfect combination of banter, comedy and crime. Just when I thought podcasting was dead, you guys are bringing it back! Keep it up guys! More Jerii too!
  • Minimiel
    Entertaining and informative, and a guilty pleasure all in one!
    I took a job last year that required a weekly 2.5 hour drive to another city every week and looked for a podcast to keep my mind occupied during my long drives. I stumbled on you guys and have subsequently gone through the whole back catalog. Thanks for being funny and informative, and a guilty pleasure, all in one neat little podcast! Keep up the good work! P. S. - I like you guys enough to even put up with Kyle’s gross “Boston sports fan boy” ways!
  • rt66lady
    David Lynch eps 💜
    I am enjoying listening to the show evolved into what it’s going to be with the two of you and Ben. Especially with the David Lynch, two part. It was so good and I learned more about David Lynch than I ever knew. Touched my heart because I lost my wife who was always a big fan and I didn’t really get it. Love you guys. Marcy in Tulsa

    Die Happy
    Stumbled on this looking for a show on the Menendez brothers. The podcast is like a skin tag… a little annoying at first but it grows on you. Before you know it, it’s part of your life. Witty conversations and interesting chronicles of lives and deaths of those in the entertainment industry. After jumping around a few episodes I decided to start with episode one and work my way up. I’m glad I did (and highly suggest it). Lots of fun connections between episodes (Benadryl, Geeners, Boca de Peppo…so far… I love it). Their sense of humor me makes me happy. Looking forward to catching up one episode at a time. Great show gents, keep up the good work!
  • Ruby carat
    Nice
    I’ve been listening for a year and I absolutely love this podcast
  • Phattyfingers
    Woah
    They do the research, which is the most important. Also Kyle and Alajandro are funny. Also! They like to cry and I’m for it.
  • Cristian Alaniz
    Entertaining and funny
    I love listening to the podcast while I’m working. I stumbled upon y’all on Tik Tok and I’m glad I did. The effort put into each episode shows. Love the humor that y’all have. Keep up the great work. Don’t go dying on us.
  • SlapUlikePennyFromGudTimes
    Five stars!
    Thank you guys for keeping politics out of it .. I just wanted to off set the one star review from that troll from this week that accused you of being sore losers and political? You guys do a excellent job ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ + follow
  • El Phantsmo
    Chris Todd is unhinged
    He is a gift to Courtney. There is compelling evidence for Kurt’s Murder enough without bringing up a “mirror theory” . I’m honestly surprised you published that episode. If I were you I would delete it and actually have a legitimate run through of available evidence sans clown.
  • jjteddy1982
    Good podcast, cry babies from the election results
    Go cry harder because Kamala lost, unfollow.

    Humor & Knowledge
    This is one of my favorite podcasts! I always look forward to new episodes. The hosts are so funny and it’s well researched, please keep up the great work!

    My Favorite Podcast
    I found this show a couple of months ago before a long drive at night and have been hooked ever since. The show topics are riveting, the hosts are hilarious and play off each other so well. If you don’t give it a try, you’re making the biggest mistake of your life; you just don’t know it yet.
  • Taybehustlin
    I love you!
    I have never been so captivated by a podcast before. Yours is the only one I think about and keep checking back for new episodes! Hooked!
  • Dananorama
    Welcome back Alejandro!
    Hey DIE guys! Thanks for this podcast. I love it. As a mom, I have made a habit of listening to podcasts while rocking the little to sleep. The only problem with listening to this one during bedtime is that I can’t always suppress my laughter 🤣 Missed y’all over the last month and am so happy to hear your voices again!
  • TheLayla420

  • coreybull
    Great Show!!!
    Love the podcast. Found you a few weeks ago and I’ve been listening to 4 shows a night. I live in the U.P. of Michigan and work overnight at the Home Depot, so your episodes get me through. Great combo of humor, information, and emotion. I have also been to Fond du Lac, but we call it Fondle a Yak lol sorry not sorry lol. Keep it up.

    Makes my ears bleed
    Man you are loaded with a lot of great info but I can’t handle the “humor”. What a waste.
  • Terry Dowdy
    Awesome!
    My favorite podcast discovery of the year! You guys have already gotten me through many long work hours with your interesting topics and hilarious banter. The conversations are authentic and not forced, which is a huge plus. Some podcasts try too hard, but not here! Keep it up, guys!
  • Skip808
    It’s not about you
    Atrocious. It’s like the hosts are all fighting to do their own stand up routine. 2% subject content 98% hosts trying to be funny

    My Serotonin Boost
    I stumbled across this show and I’m so glad I did. I love the true crime content with the niche of how insane the entertainment industry is. Hosts are hilarious, research is thorough, and I always find myself laughing along.
  • JennyTabb
    Came for Ben Kissel, stayed for a truly awesome podcast!!
    I decided to check out this show when I heard Ben Kissel was a guest. I’m so glad that I did as I absolutely love the Host’s fun banter and intriguing subject matter. This show has quickly become one of my faves and I would definitely recommend it to any true crime/conspiracy theory/spooky fans.
  • GaiaNin
    Too Good
    I just barely found this podcast, thanks to the Aaron Carter episode with Ben Kissel as the guest. I have been binging from the beginning to get all caught up. The dynamic of the boys is truly wonderful. They present the facts with just enough comedy. Not too sleepy, not too sloppy. Love this show!
  • Hildieboo
    New fave
    I listened just to hear Ben Kissel, but have quickly fallen in love with these guys and this pod. This is actually a great topic, done tastefully, with heart and humor. I’ve been recommending it to people.
  • Ikhfdtjgg
    Very Funny
    Found this pod because I missed hearing my favorite LPN host, and subscribed because Alejandro and Kyle are hilarious.
  • Robottie
    One of the best!
    This is one of the best true crime podcasts out there. I just discovered this last month and have been binging all the episodes. I am impressed! This podcast gets the balance just right. I’ve laughed (those Al Pacino impressions get me everyime) and I’ve cried (Judith Barsi episode). The hosts have great chemistry and this is one of the funniest poscasts out there. Keep up the good work and highly recommend!
  • parker george
    Fun to binge listen
    Excellent show overall. great stories, well researched, comedy is dark but hilarious makes my day at work go smoothly I'm a mail carrier so of course my customers talk to me when the most gruesome part of the story is happening. Highly recommend this show! if you like macabre and have a sense of humor this is it. can’t wait for the gang to start solving mysteries and getting blame by a creepy old guy in a mask for ruining his plans. Thanks to Mr Ben Kissel for putting this show on the map for me.
