Hollywood's Greatest Idiots: Randy Quaid, Errol Flynn, and John Belushi (Season 5 Episode 18)

Lights, camera, CHAOS! This special greatest hits episode dives into Hollywood's most spectacular celebrity meltdowns and scandals, featuring three legendary movie stars who proved that fame, fortune, and fundamental stupidity make for blockbuster disasters.

RANDY QUAID - From Christmas Vacation to Conspiracy Theories: The talented character actor who went from beloved comedic roles in National Lampoon's movies to starring in his own real-life thriller involving alleged Hollywood assassins, Canadian border crossings, and a persecution complex that would make even the most paranoid conspiracy theorists say "maybe dial it back a notch".

ERROL FLYNN - Golden Age Hollywood's Ultimate Bad Boy: The swashbuckling Robin Hood superstar whose off-screen adventures made his action movies look tame, complete with high-profile trials, Nazi spy allegations, and enough debauchery to scandalize 1940s Hollywood (which took some serious effort).

JOHN BELUSHI - Saturday Night Live Legend's Tragic Downfall: The comedy genius and Blues Brothers star whose explosive energy extended to pharmaceutical experimentation, turning SNL success into a cautionary tale about how quickly brilliance can burn out when mixed with bottomless appetites.

From celebrity courtroom drama to wartime Hollywood intrigue to drug-fueled comedy chaos, these movie legends prove that sometimes the most entertaining performances happen when the cameras aren't rolling and nobody's directing the disaster.

Join Lev and Derek as they count down the greatest hits of Tinseltown's most gloriously idiotic moments in this true crime meets celebrity biography meets so insane it's practically fictional podcast episode.

Perfect for movie buffs, Hollywood history enthusiasts, celebrity scandal lovers, true crime fans, and anyone who's ever wondered how someone can simultaneously entertain millions and completely destroy their lives.
