    Informational!

    To far in between.
    I like the podcast, but too much time goes between episodes. Scott isn’t the most engaging host either. Mike does a great job steering the ship.

    Love this!
    I squealed with delight when I saw there was new episode. Even more so when I saw the title.
  • Miss Alyce
    Thrilled Dearly Departed Has Returned!!!
    So happy the two of you have returned with your wit and wisdom about movies and their stars. This is a show that I search for. ♥️

    Where or where has my little dog gone…
    Has this pod fallen into the abyss? Nothing new since 10/31/22.

    THE BEST
    I love Scott michaels!! I’m a big true crime fan especially if LA murder crimes and he knows all of it I really enjoy watching him being interviewed and this podcast is HOT
  • bosschang24
    Could be great but…
    Brilliant premise, great insight into the subject matter, good chemistry between the hosts but Scott has a petty and personal problem with something or somebody in every single episode. Every single one. If he could just get a therapist or work the steps this show would be perfect.

    Best podcast out there
    This is a listen to same day it’s released podcast. Patreon is worth the extra content too
  • mitchelle cooper

  • Tobey54
    Always interesting
    The stories are always interesting and the two hosts are very likable!
  • Wren1961
    Awesome!
    Hilarious, sad, poignant, interesting, informative … not enough superlatives to say how much I love this show!
  • Teamdc08
    So good!
    Great podcast, NOT meh! I would love to have a meal with Scott Michaels, we seem to have a similar sense of humor- delightfully inappropriate. This one is a must hear ☺️
  • Emmaguinmom
    Time well spent ….
    Love all the extra background stories they have concerning each podcast! Truly entertaining but with true reverence for the victim’s. Absolutely love their sarcastic wit about their hate mail!
  • Brent @psrtampa
    Great one of a kind podcast
    One of my favorite podcasts these guys do a lot of homework before they put out each episode. You learn so much about the dearly departed. I wish I could talk Scott and Mike to give my eulogy when I die.
  • TexAg Fan
    Love it
    I love this podcast. My only complaint is that there aren’t more episodes
  • ID JD
    Awesome podcast!
    I love this podcast! I was a fan of six degrees of Helter Skelter (found it in a used DVD bin in 2010) and just learned that they had a podcast. As a podcaster, I’m envious of their production and content! Love the random knowledge and random stories that tie the episodes together. Keep up the great work. Anyone out there who leaves a bad review or “hate mail” — leave a link to YOUR podcast in your review, so we can hear how you do it so much better…..

    Love it
    I really enjoy this podcast! Especially the random bits of trivia we get. I was listening to the one about the Addams Family and when the information about Hollywood Forever was really interesting!
  • Icreyes1
    Looking forward to more episodes!
    Stumbled upon this podcast and happy I did. My only complaint is that there aren’t more episodes. I’ve also subscribed to their YouTube channel. I highly recommend. Their knowledge of The Manson murders and old and current Hollywood stars and TV shows is amazing. More please. Thanks for the podcasts, I highly enjoy them.

    Found a Gem
    I could listen to you all day both of you guys are knowledgeable in your own way. I just started listening but your Sunset Boulevard podcast was so good , you had my commute easy listening BTW I am watching Sunset Boulevard tonight thanks guys
  • NAStwins
    I could listen to these two talk for hours!!
    I love the attention to detail and the way you bring this history to life, it’s not just dry facts and figures, it makes you feel as if you know the people they talk about and have visited the places they describe!! Keep up the great work!!

    They Know Where All the Bodies Are Buried!
    Scott Michaels is truly the man who knows where all the bodies are buried! He and Michael Dorsey explore the tales and myths of Old Hollywood's faded glory days, lovingly rendered.
  • MermaidinaLake
    Too good

    DEATH HAG FOR LIFE!! I remember now…
    Long ago I use to think about celebrity graves and death places. I think it started with Bob Crane I was young guy. But I knew Hogans Hero’s from watching it with my grandpa. Anyhow I remember seeing the pics. The place he was killed and Was fascinated. Anyhow, tears later came the internet. And I thought hey let’s punch in celebrity graves and low and behold the first thing that popped up was DEARLY DEPARTED. HOLY COW people have the same morbid fascinations as me. Anyways…I traveled across the country twice to take the Helter Sketer tour and his Dearly Departed tour. I always said Scott’s the real deal if you want REAL Hollywood history !! Love this podcast!! Wish there was one every week. But it’s ok cuz it gives me something to look forward too.

    Awesome podcast!
    This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. I have listened to every episode numerous times. Scott and Mike have great rapport and they discuss really interesting Hollywood history and keep it light and fun. Scott’s social media and YouTube channel are also fun and super interesting and he clearly has a passion for what he does and, probably because he’s older and wiser, sticks to what he does REALLY well without ruining it with continuous political opinions. Unfortunately, Mike hasn’t adopted that magic formula yet, and while he appears to be a very talented producer/film maker, his social media is more political opinion than highlighting his talents and what he does for a living.
  • Yeah,Yeah,Yeah.....
    Great show,but
    Both Mike & Scott habitually say…..yeah,yeah,yeah…..1-It’s forced….2-It’s fake…3-It was a fad…4-It’s over…Please stop…Thank you…

    Makes my lame workday so much better!
    I’ve been listening, and re-listening, to Dearly Departed since being sent home to work due to COVID. (Now I can listen at full volume). I’m bummed I never got to go on a tour - Scott’s tour was one of my “must do” things on my list, when I go on my LA vacation. DD is definitely one of the best podcasts for someone like me - I love the trivia, the interesting stories, stories behind the movies and actors, etc. Scott and Mike have a great rapport together. This podcast has it all, and I look forward to their future podcasts. It’s a pleasure to listen to every day.

    Creature comfort!
    I appreciate your podcast. Death is a subject our culture avoids. Especially for those who are eccentric or under unfortunate circumstances. You are telling their stories with respect. Marilyn Monroes story?… Many theories, tho she likely accidentally overdosed. But would like to hear your take. 😚
  • SadderWiserGirl
    I love it.
    I could honestly just listen to Scott Michaels talk all day. Both because of the stories & fun chatter and because he’s got a really great voice. This podcast makes you wish you could hang out with him and his friends at a bar or a party.
  • grumpy47130
    Request
    Any chance of doing a rocky horror picture show podcast episode? Thanks again for the informative , entertaining podcast

    Hollywood History
    I thought this would be more structured informational than like they’re hosting an FM radio show… I’ve been on the Dearly Departed tour and love Old Hollywood history. Oh well.
  • BenQ72
    Love this podcast
    Great podcast. Especially when they cover the old TV show casts. Wouldn’t mind a Hogan’s Heroes episode. I’d like to hear what Scott has to say about Bob Crane...
  • b-rad1975

    Fun podcast! I’ve been binge listening. Great stories and name drops. I knew Scott Michaels already from the Six Degrees of Helter Skelter talkumentary. That hokey voice in the intro cracks me up. Sounds like a leprechaun crypt-keeper.
  • Highchair79
    Great podcast
    Love hearing the stories about old Hollywood you guys keep it up really love the podcast you’ll speak of it a lot how about doing one on the Dean Martin celebrity roasts
  • Desi Babalou
    Excellent
    So interesting!!!
  • kehchwodb
    Two thumbs up!!
    If you love Hollywood history this is the podcast for you. You’ll also like the YouTube channel that gives you a deeper dive on persons, locations, and insight to those behind the scenes as well. They both show respect to those with troubling lives as the delve into their history.

    Pop culture heaven
    What a smart, funny, informed podcast. I could listen to Scott and Mike dish the dirt on showbiz all day. Been a fan of Scott’s for years after stumbling on his fascinating Find a Death website. Please make more episodes! I need my fix!
  • Danish6300
    Factual, Interesting, Intellectual Stuff
    Just found this show after searching through tons of celebrity, mostly boring, podcasts. The information is accurate, interesting, and it’s clear that the hosts are well-read on their subjects. They’re terrific. The topics are enjoyable, especially Grease and Lucille Ball. I’m glad to have found your show!
  • CasinoOwl
    The best movie trivia
    These guys are so much fun to listen to. I especially love hearing inside information and trivia about old movies I love. You can tell Scott and Mike love what they do, and the trivia feels real, not like some of the b.s. you get with some tribute shows.
  • MSS42
    Excellent
    Love the cast! When will there be more episodes?
  • TinaKManning

  • the dinosaur grape
    Educational, entertaining. Love it!
    The hosts are so informed and easy to listen to. I love the history and enjoy the “insider” tidbits. I can’t wait to hear more.

    Scott is truly a national treasure. I could listen to him for hours and have listened to him for hours. If you love Hollywood stories, which I do, Scott and Mike have a fantastic podcast. Love it! I also love Scott’s YouTube channel.
  • Ratpak2000
    Awesome Podcast
    Awesome podcast. So many great anecdotes. Been a huge fan of Find a Death for years, too.

    Hollywood
    I’m really enjoying your podcast. I recently discovered it searching for Sharon Tate podcasts. I listen while I work at home.
  • megatron0259
    Hollywood fun
    A very entertaining look at old Hollywood stories from two hosts that really appreciate it. I love hearing about the lives (and deaths) of the stars that I grew up watching.
