Episode 506: Is There Sex After Death? (1971)

Special Guests: Jeanne Abel, Jenny Abel
Guest Co-Hosts: Skizz Cyzyk, Heather Drain

Alan and Jeanne Abel's Is There Sex After Death? is a mockumentary from 1971 that dares to ask the hard hitting questions with ridiculous answers. It’s a series of vignettes with some familiar faces like Buck Henry, Marshall Efron, Holly Woodlawn, Robert Downey, and more.

Heather Drain and Skizz Cyzyk join Mike to discuss pranks, Jenny Abel's Abel Raises Cain, and much more.

Be sure to stick around until the end to hear about how one persistent myth about a college rock band got its start.

Addendum: Per Bill Ackerman's interview with Mink Stole she is not in Is There Sex After Death?.
