While we are hard at work preparing for season 6, please enjoy this popular rewind episode entitled “The Tragic 'Bitter Blood' Murders” that originally aired on September 26, 2023. *This episode 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, but fascinating true crime story that feels especially personal to Candy due to a theater connection. A special thank you to Bill Baker for contributing insights via audio clips.

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. The link is in the bio.

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!

When “Legally Blonde” came out in 2001, the movie not only introduced the Bend and Snap and turned a privileged sorority girl named Elle into a loveable underdog, it also propelled actress Reese Witherspoon’s star power to new heights.

Today, 25 years later, “Legally Blonde” is now a beloved rom com that has spawned two sequels, a Broadway musical, a reality TV show, and a prequel.

So throw on your favorite pink outfit and help us celebrate the 25th anniversary of “Legally Blonde” with this fun minisode in which we discuss everything from the movie’s origins, to behind-the-scenes stories, to the prequel “Elle” that is now available on Prime Video.

This minisode– and all our other bonus content– is available to Scandal Water Podcast supporters on Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee. The links to both of those sites can be found at scandalwaterpodcast.com, so become a member today!
