  • Summary

  • Somehow, Andrew made it through 26 episodes of the pod without one single guest telling him to fuck off or referring to him as a “cocksucker.” Thanks to novelist James Ellroy, this long national pod-mare is over! The celebrated 74 year-old author of The Black Dahlia came on to promote his new Audible Originals series, “James Ellroy’s Hollywood Deathtrip,” but was not at all interested in discussing his life as a pervert and womanizer, a reputation borne not of tabloid gossip or rumor, but rather exhaustively copped to in his two very dirty memoirs, 1996’s My Dark Places and 2010’s The Hilliker Curse. Whoops! Noted. Come for the swear words and dramatic walk off, stay for the return and the host/guest fragile, edgy détente. Discussed: his father’s alleged “18 incher,” his “Hitler-esque” moustache and John Wayne’s purported life as a crossdresser.
