Having lost their parents young, they dive into everything from broken-heart syndrome and family issues to ghost stories and conspiracy theories, exploring death’s spiritual, cultural, and strange sides. With raw, often hilarious conversations, they’re showing that death can, surprisingly, be ‘a funny business.’
