    Rocky: Celebrating 50 Years of the 1976 Knockout Hit!

    Yo, Adrian! It’s been 50 years since Sylvester Stallone landed a knockout punch with “Rocky,” a low-budget movie about a down-on-his-luck boxer named Rocky Balboa. More than an underdog story, though, “Rocky” ended up being a sports drama, a love story, and the film that launched a franchise.  But what was Sylvester Stallone’s own underdog story in getting his “Rocky” script onto the big screen? What are some behind-the-scenes stories told by the lead actors? How were certain key scenes affected by the film’s low budget? And how was the Steadicam, new technology in 1976, used to make an “immeasurable” impact on the movie? We discuss all this and more in this fun podcast that will have you humming “Gonna Fly Now” as you head off to face your day.    How to support Scandal Water: Rate, review, and subscribe!

    Research Gone Wrong: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study

    In 1932, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study was initiated by the U.S. Public Health Service. It involved 399 black men who already had the disease–though they thought they suffered simply from “bad blood”--and 201 who were part of the control group. The study was supposed to last 6 months, and part of the incentive for participation was free treatment, free meals, and free burial insurance. Instead, the study lasted 40 years, and the participants received no treatment… even though penicillin was widely and effectively used to treat syphilis by the mid-to-late 1940s. In this minisode, we discuss the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study, which was referenced in last week’s fascinating episode on “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.”
