    The Ultimate David and Goliath Story, the Beloved Sports Movie “Hoosiers” (Part 1)

    The Ultimate David and Goliath Story, the Beloved Sports Movie “Hoosiers” (Part 1)

    Gene Hackman feared that starring in the movie “Hoosiers” would kill his career.

    Instead, 38 years after its release in 1986, “Hoosiers” remains one of the most beloved sports movies of all time. 

    Suggested by listener Merle, who served as an extra during the filming of “Hoosiers,” this lively episode takes you back to 1985, when this soon-to-be classic was filmed.

    What true life story inspired “Hoosiers,” and how was the making of the movie its own underdog story? How were the Hickory basketball players cast? What’s the true story behind the rumors of Gene Hackman’s surliness and Barbara Hershey’s unhappiness during filming? And what is it about “Hoosiers” that has made it so enduring?

    We discuss all this and so much more this week on Scandal Water!

    Pro Wrestling Takes the Ring in this Spectacular Episode

    Pro Wrestling Takes the Ring in this Spectacular Episode

    Beefed up physiques covered with a sheen of body oil. Stage names like “The Undertaker” and “The Animal.” Entrances accompanied by loud music and deafening cheers (or boos). Action-packed matches, sometimes involving objects like metal chairs or thumbtacks. 

    These are just a few of the elements that might spring to mind at the mention of pro wrestling, but the sport is so much more than that.

    What role did the carnival play in the development of professional wrestling? How accurate is the depiction of the Louisville area wrestling scene and the aspiring wrestlers of the OVW, as seen in the Netflix docuseries “Wrestlers”?  How do athletes and fans of the sport respond to claims that pro wrestling is fake? What did Al Snow– a former WWE wrestler who now helps run the OVW– mean when he stated that pro wrestling is the art of physical storytelling?

    With help from pro wrestling fans Chris, Chandra, and Steve, we delve into these questions, and so much more! Candy and Ashley even brainstorm their own potential wrestling stage names… although suggestions are always welcome. ;)

    “There’s No Crying in Baseball…” Celebrating the 1992 Hit “A League of Their Own”

    “There’s No Crying in Baseball…” Celebrating the 1992 Hit “A League of Their Own”

    It’s a movie that simultaneously highlights the impact of women during a critical time in U.S. history, celebrates the bonds of sisterhood, and explores the dynamics of sibling rivalry. 

    It also happens to be one of America’s most beloved sports films, and to this day, remains the highest-grossing baseball movie of all time.

    We are of course talking about the 1992 hit “A League of Their Own,” directed by Penny Marshall and boasting a powerhouse cast including Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell, and Jon Lovitz. 

    From behind-the-scenes stories about filming to the tension caused by Madonna’s casting, to the controversial scene cut from the movie, to the hotly debated question of whether Dottie dropped the ball on purpose, we discuss all this and so much more! 

    *A special thank you to friend and listener Marsha for her audio clip.

    Wuv, True Wuv: We Celebrate this Valentine’s Day with the Beloved “Princess Bride”

    A Valentine’s Day that does not include a look at “The Princess Bride,” one of the greatest– and funniest– love stories of all time? Inconceivable!

    “The Princess Bride” (1987) remains a beloved cult classic nearly 40 years after its release… and after you listen to this fun episode, you’ll remember exactly why!

    Why did author William Goldman and director Rob Reiner have to fight so hard to bring this fractured fairy tale to the silver screen? What sword-fighting mishap landed Cary Elwes in the hospital? Why was the character of Inigo Montoya so personal to Mandy Patinkin, remaining his favorite role to this day? And what famous athlete-turned-actor almost played the role of the lovable Fezzik in Andre the Giant’s place? We discuss all this and so much more!

    So if you’re in the mood to revisit a nostalgic film that will have you rooting for true love, a son seeking revenge on his father’s killer, and classic tales of romance and adventure, then as you wish.

The Perfect Formula

These two hosts are master storytellers…regardless of the subject matter. Whatever the runtime, the episodes always leave you wanting more. In my opinion, that’s a great attribute. And you don’t have to be a showbiz buff to enjoy it!

Insights

Not only have I enjoyed every podcast I am amazed at the insight of all the various aspects in the entertainment arena they provide. Even stories I felt I know quite a bit about they surprise me with new facts. Awesome job ladies

Jonathan Mertz ,

These two are entertaining and super intelligent!

Okay, I may be a little biased because I personally know and have work projects with these two ladies. From listening to their podcast and working with them I can attest to how invested they become in their work. From Candy’s research and development of each show to Ashley’s amazing movie, novel and entertainment knowledge these two really know how to put on a good show!
