Faith, Forgiveness, and Family: The Secret Behind Denzel and Pauletta Washington’s Successful Marriage
Named the greatest actor of the 20th century by the New York Times in 2020, Denzel Washington is one of today’s most well-known and highly respected actors.
Less well-known is his wife of 41 years, Pauletta Washington, an accomplished musician and actress with whom Denzel has shared a life and raised four successful children… and without whom Denzel has said, “I wouldn’t be alive.”
In this episode, we celebrate the love story of Denzel and Pauletta Washington, while also highlighting interesting information about the couple’s individual lives and careers.
What event during his childhood does Denzel credit with helping him avoid a future in the penitentiary? How did Pauletta make North Carolina history in 1970? How did the couple connect… and why do their respective versions of the story differ slightly? 😉 What does Denzel consider to be “the biggest moment” of his life, and what recent project was a family affair, involving all 6 members of the Washington family? Join us as we discuss all this and more!

Revisiting Kentucky’s 1977 Tragic Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire in this Fan Favorite Episode
Special thanks to friends and listeners Lizzie and Hayden for submitting the Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire episode as their Fan Favorite, and sharing insights for the new introduction. In addition, Ashley also weighs in on the conspiracy theory explored in “Forbidden Fruit: Sin City’s Underworld and the Supper Club Inferno,” a book mentioned in the episode.
(Originally aired 9/19/2023)
It’s the 3rd deadliest nightclub fire in US history and the reason you see a maximum capacity sign posted in every restaurant and bar you enter.
Yet many have never heard of the horrific fire that ravaged the Beverly Hills Supper Club in May of 1977, killing 165 people and injuring 200.
Known as the “Showplace of the Midwest,” the opulent, sprawling facility located in Southgate, Kentucky, not only offered event space, but also boasted wildly popular Vegas-style performers and acts.
The evening of May 28, 1977, approximately 1200 people crowded into the cabaret room to see the legendary performer John Davidson, never dreaming their night would end in a nightmare of flames and toxic fumes.
Join us as we revisit not only the circumstances behind the tragic Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire, but also the impact it had on fire safety codes and the mystery that still lingers.

Hang Out With Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones in This Nostalgic Fan Favorite Episode on “The Fugitive” (1993)
Special thanks to friend and listener Rich for submitting “The Fugitive” as his Fan Favorite topic and providing audio for the new introduction.
Part 1: (Originally aired 11/5/2024)
Accused of brutally murdering his wife, Dr. Richard Kimble, played by megastar Harrison Ford, is relentlessly pursued by the shrewd and witty U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard, played by Tommy Lee Jones.
This is the simple but engaging premise behind the 1993 blockbuster “The Fugitive.”
But what’s the story behind the making of this smash hit? That’s the question we track down in this episode– the first of a two-part feature on everyone’s favorite ‘wrongly-accused’ film, “The Fugitive.”
On what true crime case was the original TV series “The Fugitive” allegedly based? How did the movie’s plot evolve as it moved through the various screenwriters who worked on it? What impact did Harrison Ford have on the film, and why was he initially reluctant to bring in Tommy Lee Jones? And just how much of the dialogue actually was improvised?
Part 2: (Originally aired 11/12/2024)
U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard may not care, but we certainly do!
A box office hit and critical success when it was released 41 years ago, ”The Fugitive” is still highly regarded today, with many ranking the lead actors’ performances among their very best.
But what, exactly, is it about this movie that makes it SO good?
That’s what Ashley and Candy discuss as they break down one of Ashley’s favorite films, “The Fugitive.” Join the fun as they weigh in on everything from the cast, to the special effects, to the last-minute script changes, and so much more.

We Revisit Anne Frank and the Secret Annex in this Fan Favorite Episode
Special thanks to friend and listener Jennifer for submitting our Anne Frank episode as her Fan Favorite, and providing audio for the new introduction. In addition to the insights and personal connections that are shared by Jennifer, Candy and Ashley also discuss two new developments related to the legacy of Anne Frank, the young writer whose tragic story has touched millions of people around the world.
(Originally aired 4/2/2024)
“I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”
These were the words written by 15-year-old Anne Frank just months before Nazis raided the Secret Annex and sent the inhabitants to concentration camps, where all but her father ultimately perished.
One of the most well-known teens in history, this extraordinary young woman’s work, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, ranks among the top-10 best-selling nonfiction books of all time and has been translated into more than 70 languages.
How did Anne’s family end up in the Secret Annex along with the other inhabitants, and what challenges did they face while in hiding? What new discoveries about Anne’s story have come to light in more recent years? How do the A, B, and C versions of Anne’s diary differ? And do we finally have an answer to the mystery of who betrayed the Secret Annex families? Join us for this moving episode where we discuss all this and so much more!

As You Wish… We Revisit “The Princess Bride” (1987) in this Fan Favorite Episode!
Special thanks to friend and listener Jodi for submitting “The Princess Bride” episode as her Fan Favorite and providing audio for the new introduction.
(Originally aired 2/13/2024)
“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.
