Episode 48, Life Imitating Art: Weekend at Bernie’s
Whether or not you have seen the cult classic, dark comedy film ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ it doesn’t really matter. Because I am here to tell you about real life stories… of corpse puppetry.
Today we cover a rash of crimes from Brazil, to the US, to Japan, where corpses are used in one way or another for financial gain.
I will also give you an overview of the film, and a little bit of BTS tea, just for fun.
