Season 5 begins in September, but rather than going dark during August, we thought we’d offer you a peek behind the scenes by sharing one of the perks usually reserved for our Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee Members. In this minisode, we make it personal, discussing all manner of disasters from real-life Good Samaritan videos to our own brushes with natural events, and the disaster movies we’ll never watch (and why). If you’d like to listen to the rest of our catalog, consider becoming a member through BuyMeaCoffee or Patreon. You can find the link to both on our website: ScandalWaterPodcast.com. Cheers!

Season 5 begins in September, but rather than going dark during August, we thought we’d offer you a peek behind the scenes by sharing one of the perks usually reserved for our Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee Members. For 12 seasons, the charming but shrewd Jessica Fletcher kept her lovely hometown of Cabot Cove safe, despite the bodies piling up around her like firewood. In this fun minisode, we discuss one of Ashley’s favorite things, the series “Murder, She Wrote” starring Angela Lansbury, after rewatching the pilot episode.

In our very first mini-sode, Candy and Ashley spill the tea on one of Marilyn Monroe's most famous photos, the publicity still taken by her friend Sam during a publicity stunt for "The Seven Year Itch." And in a twist worthy of six-degrees of Kevin Bacon, Ashley calls Brian so he can recount a time in his community theatre past when he very well may have been sharing the stage with (long retired from Hollywood) Tom Ewell! As an added bonus, tune in after the Cheers to hear a blooper from the full "Famous Photographs" episode that aired January 30th. Thanks for supporting Scandal Water and enjoy this bonus cuppa tea! “Isn’t it delicious?!” If you’d like to listen to the rest of our catalog, consider becoming a member through BuyMeaCoffee or Patreon.

In this lively update episode, Candy and Ashley spill the tea about new developments that occurred after their season 4 episodes aired.

What exciting new projects are in the works for Alicia Silverstone, Kimberly Williams Paisley, and the “Little House on the Prairie” franchise? How is the Biltmore connected to King Tut? What circumstances led to Candy’s brief encounter with a relative of Nate Bargatze? How did “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” bring in 9.2 billion social media views in a year? And what happy development has been reported by one of Ruby Franke’s children?

We discuss all this and more, including a surprise gift from friend Kathy related to the “Dark Highway” murder case, and an update from friends Jennifer and Rocky about their trip to London, Kentucky, to help with tornado clean-up efforts.

And after you enjoy this extra splash of tea, we have another special treat in store! Each week in August we will release a minisode that has never before been made available on the main feed. (Minisodes are shorter, bonus episodes usually available only to our supporters on Patreon or Buy Me a Coffee.) Then we’ll be back with new episodes in September as we start Season 5!

Roughly 100 years ago, in Oklahoma, dozens of Osage people were murdered in cold blood in an attempt to steal their wealth and land. That horrific period of time is referred to as the Reign of Terror and is the focus of the true crime book “Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann.

In this fascinating episode we compare the 2017 nonfiction book with the 2023 movie, also called “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Though different in approach, both center around an Osage woman named Mollie Kyle whose family was systematically killed in the early 1920s.

What photograph inspired David Grann to write the best-selling book? How did speaking with Mollie’s granddaughter inspire Martin Scorsese to change the film’s script? In what ways does the movie differ from the book? And what happened to Mollie, Ernest, and Bill Hale after the trials?

We hope you will join us as we discuss not only these two acclaimed works, but also this important historical occurrence of which many people still remain unaware.

When just a glimpse of the famous gunslingers’ silhouette or the phrase “I’m your huckleberry” immediately transports you to the world of “Tombstone” (1993), it’s a pretty sure sign the film is a classic.

Featuring a star-studded cast, “Tombstone” is now widely regarded as one of the all-time best Westerns… which is even more impressive considering the massive obstacles the cast and crew faced during filming!

Why was the original director fired a month into the shoot? How did Kurt Russell save the movie, according to some of his fellow actors? What strategies did Val Kilmer use to bring his iconic Doc Holliday to life? And how accurately did “Tombstone” portray the actual characters and events depicted in the film?

The gritty, dark revisionist Western “Unforgiven” is not only widely regarded as one of Clint Eastwood’s greatest works– as both actor and director– but is also one of only 4 Westerns to ever win an Oscar for Best Picture.

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at this classic film, including a brief tribute to legendary Gene Hackman, whose portrayal of ruthless sheriff Little Bill Daggett also earned him an Oscar.

What movies inspired David Peoples as he was writing the script? Why did Gene Hackman initially turn down the role of Little Bill? How does “Unforgiven” have a feminist thread in it, according to Clint Eastwood? And what’s the story behind two alternate endings that were filmed, but then discarded?

John Wayne brought more than 150 characters to life on film, but it was his turn as the pot-bellied, heavy-drinking, eye-patch-wearing U.S. Marshall Rooster Cogburn in “True Grit” that earned him his only Oscar.

And in this fun episode we revisit the classic 1969 Western “True Grit,” including a brief tribute to The Duke himself.

How true did the movie hold to the book on which it was based? What personal struggles did Kim Darby, who played young Mattie, face during filming? Was there any truth to the widespread rumors of tension and fighting on set? And which scene from “True Grit” did John Wayne consider to be the best performance of his career?

Saddle up and head back to the Old West with us, alongside the rough but lovable Rooster Cogburn… the only role John Wayne ever reprised!
