Scandal Water

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. It is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

“This remains the most bizarre criminal case in American history. There is nothing to match this anywhere. You have all the elements: good families, money, bombs, shoot-outs.”

These are the words of Jerry Bledsoe, author of the book “Bitter Blood: A True Story of Southern Family Pride, Madness, and Multiple Murder,” which then led to a 1994 made-for-TV miniseries called “In the Best of Families: Marriage, Pride, and Madness” starring Kelly McGillis, Harry Hamlin, and Keith Carradine.

The first tragedy occurred on Tuesday, July 24, 1984, when a friend discovered 68-year-old Delores Lynch lying on the driveway outside the door to her home. Upon arrival, the police soon also discovered Delores’s 39-year-old daughter Janie inside. Both women had died from gunshot wounds, and while the murder scene was staged to look like a burglary, it looked more like a professional hit.

Before it was all said and done, 7 more would be dead and two families nearly destroyed.

Join us for this tragic yet fascinating true-crime story that feels especially personal to Candy because of a theater connection.

At the peak of the drive-in theater craze in 1958, more than 4000 drive-ins were operating in the U.S. Today that number is closer to 300.

In this nostalgic minisode, we celebrate the phenomenon of drive-ins, highlighting two that hold special meaning for us, the Sauerbeck Family Drive-In located in LaGrange, Kentucky, and the Georgetown Drive-In, located in Georgetown, Indiana. 

So grab your popcorn and join us as we discuss the story behind the very first drive-in, our experiences with these two local theaters, and our thoughts about the appeal of drive-ins.

In this lively update episode, Candy and Ashley spill the tea about new developments that occurred after their season 5 episodes aired. 

 

What intersection between their Scamanda and Sherri Papini episodes did the hosts discover? How are “American Nightmare” survivors Denise Huskins Quinn and Aaron Quinn continuing to advocate for victim rights? What new projects are on the horizon for Shania Twain and John Grisham? How are the paths of Megan Follows and Lucy Maud Montgomery crossing yet again? (Could they be kindred spirits? 😉)  And what fun anecdotes has Johnny Knoxville shared about his experience serving as a stand-in for Keanu Reeves on “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” (1992)? They discuss all this and more!

 

And for one extra splash of tea, the episode ends with a brief explanation of the exciting new things in store for season 6!

If Winnie the Pooh is feeling a little rumbly in his tumbly, it may be because he’s now 100!

 

And in this podcast, we celebrate the milestone by discussing how A. A. Milne’s lovable bear was brought to life. 

 

How did a real bear named Winnie inspire Milne’s famous character? Which of the real Christopher Robin’s toys were featured in the stories, and where are they now? How did Winnie the Pooh turn into a billion dollar franchise? And why did both A. A. Milne and his son struggle with the fame that resulted from the popular storybooks? We discuss all this and more!

 

As an added bonus, we also share some insights from Lindsey Mattick’s children’s book, “Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World’s Most Famous Bear.”  

 

This episode is not one to “pooh” at 😉

“Bueller… Bueller… anyone?”

 

Oh, yeahhh… it’s been 40 years since Ferris Bueller famously convinced girlfriend Sloane and best bud Cameron to skip school together for a whirlwind day in Chicago. And pop culture has never been the same. 

 

In this fun podcast we celebrate the 1986 hit movie that’s been called a cultural milestone: “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

 

What (and who) inspired John Hughes as he was writing the script? Why did Matthew Broderick hesitate to accept the role of Ferris? What are some fun behind-the-scenes stories about the parade and art museum scenes? Why did both Matthew Broderick and Mia Sara find filming challenging? And what tragedy were two of the cast members involved in after the film’s release? We discuss all this and more!

 

In the words of Ferris, “Life moves pretty fast…” So be sure not to miss it, OR this podcast episode!  

Special thanks to one of our current members, Rebekah, for helping us to keep the tea brewing!
