Harvey Weinstein was a movie mogul, working behind the scenes to make hit films recognized by millions.

In this episode, we’ll look at Weinstein’s rise to Hollywood fame and then his ultimate downfall for the grotesque crimes he committed. Cachero, P. (2020, February 20).

Guns n’ Roses was one of the biggest bands in the world in the late 1980’s into the 90’s, and their front man, Axl Rose, was the perfect man for the job. Axl’s high-octane voice and the band’s explosive sound, sold a ton of records and their insane rock star lives made headlines everywhere. Axl seems to have gotten a bit of a bad rap over the years, whether it be showing up a few hours late to a show, his history of violence, or stories like the ones we’ll talk about in this episode that just make you shake your head. Kick back, stay safe in this time of weirdness, and enjoy our latest AHC Podcast episode. *********************SOURCES******************** Axl Rose. (2020, March 23).

He might be the most talked-about asshole in the world right now. Jeffrey Epstein was incredibly wealthy, insanely perverted, and oddly mysterious in every way-- including his death.

Arguably the most famous mafioso ever, John Gotti captured the American public’s imagination in the ’80s and '90s. While previous mob bosses had shunned the spotlight-- or at least attempted to-- Gotti seemed to revel in it.
