What’s your favorite sports movie of all-time? “Hoosiers" is near the top of the list, right? And isn’t March the perfect time to hear all about it since we don’t have real March Madness this year?
In this episode of “30 With Murti,” host Sweeny Murti chats with Angelo Pizzo, the screenwriter of “Hoosiers.” You’ll hear tales of making the 1986 classic about a small-town Indiana high school basketball team and how it just might have been George Steinbrenner’s favorite movie ever.
And Pizzo -- who also wrote “Rudy” -- tells us about his script for a Mickey Mantle biopic that he thinks is the best thing he’s ever written but somehow has never been turned into a movie yet.
Listen now to the latest episode of “30 With Murti.” And don’t get caught watching the paint dry!
