When Hollywood Gets Weird, She Laughs Louder ~ Elizabeth De Razzo | Ep. 245

Hey, fellow lushes! 🍸

This week’s guest is the fearless and hilarious Elizabeth De Razzo, best known as Janet in The Greasy Strangler and Maria on HBO’s Eastbound & Down.

Elizabeth joins us for one of the wildest, most honest conversations we’ve ever had — talking about awkward auditions, uncomfortable scenes, cult invites, and why she’s learned to face Hollywood’s chaos with laughter instead of fear.

She tells the jaw-dropping true story behind The Greasy Strangler’s one and only Merkin, how she almost quit the movie after being pushed too far, and the moment she stood her ground and took back control. We also hear about her first big audition (and the wardrobe malfunction that caught everyone off guard), how she told The Beard “F*** you” within minutes of meeting him, and why she believes grace and humor can survive even the greasiest corners of the industry.

Like, comment, and share if you’ve ever learned to laugh your way through the madness. Hit Subscribe and ring that bell 🔔 so you don’t miss a drop.

💦 Stay greasy, lushes — and remember, never trust anyone who owns more than one Merkin.
