Alicia Silverstone, Fashion, & the Language: Why We Still Love “Clueless” (1995)

Miss this episode on the beloved rom-com “Clueless” that tells the story of Cher, a self-absorbed Betty with a heart of gold, whose annoying step-brother Josh (a Baldwin himself!) ends up being her love interest? As if!
This classic 90s film was more than just a work of entertainment. It not only changed the way we speak, but also influenced fashion and launched the careers of young stars such as Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Brittany Murphy, Stacey Dash, and Donald Faison.
But on what 1815 novel was the movie based, and why was it rejected so many times? Why did writer and director Amy Heckerling have Alicia Silverstone in mind for Cher even before the script was finished? What memories do cast memories have of Brittany Murphy? And how did the focus on fashion (Cher alone had 64 changes!) challenge the cast and costume designer? You’ll feel, well, clueless if you miss out on this fun episode!

Six Degrees of Love: Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick

They first crossed paths in 1978 when Kyra Sedgwick was 12 and Kevin Bacon 19, though he doesn’t remember it! The pre-teen complimented the young actor after seeing Kevin perform in an Off-Broadway play. Ten years later the two were married, and they’ve remained happily so for 36 years. Just ask the goats they occasionally serenade when posting Instagram videos from their Connecticut farm. In this fun Valentine’s week episode, we share the love story of Hollywood couple Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, including a few highlights from their individual lives and careers.How did Kevin convince Kyra, his somewhat reluctant movie costar, to go on a first date with him? When Kyra was hesitant to do “The Closer,” how did Kevin help make it possible for Kyra to accept what would turn out to be her most acclaimed role? What devastating personal crisis did the Bacons experience in 2008? And in which projects have the couple collaborated not only with each other but also occasionally with one or both of their children? We discuss all this and more in this uplifting episode that will leave you feeling “Footloose” and fancy-free!Find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel.MID-ROLL AD: A big thank you to listener Jennifer R. for her ongoing support of Scandal Water via Buy Me a Coffee!

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.

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.

‘Auld Lang Syne’ and a Midnight Kiss: The Story Behind 4 New Year’s Traditions

You count aloud the seconds as the clock approaches midnight of New Year’s Eve, watching the massive, twinkling ball lower in One Times Square. At midnight you share a kiss with a loved one, then sing along to a rousing chorus of “Auld Lang Syne.”
This is what you do to welcome every New Year. The question is: Why?
In this lively episode we first touch on a few customs followed in other countries before delving into the history behind 4 of America’s most common New Year’s traditions.
What ban imposed by the city of New York actually led to the very first ball drop on January 31, 1907? How did the advent of electricity help the tradition of kissing at midnight gain in popularity? How did “Auld Lang Syne,” a song (and poem) dating back to the 1700s in Scotland, become so popular in the U.S.? And why do so many of us make… and abandon… New Year’s resolutions every year? 
Resolve to say hello to 2025 with your Scandal Water friends as they explore these fun New Year’s traditions!
