And then. Welcome into the best in True Crime Podcasting. This is True Crime Tuesday. I'm your host Tim Dennis.

Today on the big show, we're going to be covering a little bit different topic, but a topic that is near and dear to my heart.

We're going to talk about old school Hollywood. We're going to go back in time.

And we're going to talk a little bit about movie stars and Hollywood and the mob.

And Joan Runner is their guest today.

She's got a brand new book out there called Of Mobsters and movie stars the bloody golden age of

Hollywood you know one of the things that's interesting is we tend to think of

Hollywood with a little bit of glitz and glamour we don't really tend to look at

exactly how small Hollywood was when it first

started out, especially in the 20s and 30s in the silent age, and we don't tend to think about

exactly what Hollywood was back then and Joan has done an amazing job of

capturing exactly what Hollywood was back in that day and without further ado I we're gonna bring her in here in just a moment and talk about this new book and exactly

how that age was. It wasn't so golden. We'll put it that way.
