Ep. 513 Eddie Mannix
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast - A podcast by Jacob Trimmer and Tim Groeschel - Tuesdays
Today we'll be taking a trip back to the golden age of Hollywood to talk about king goon, Eddie Mannix. It turns out even before TMZ became famous as the blood sucking leeches that they are making their money off celebrity gossip, people loved to talk about actors and actresses and their various scandals. So Eddie Mannix made sure that either those stories didn't get out, or that at least the people working for MGM were skipped in the headlines in favor of people who worked with a different studio. How did he do this? With corruption, intimidation, and violence of course. So enjoy!
