Legends Podcast #568; Lake Placid (RIP Betty White)

Betty White's film and television career spanned seven decades and was filled with reinvention. From radio actress to game show staple, from a Golden Girl to being Hot in Cleveland, she never failed to leave us laughing. In 1999, she played a foul-mouthed pensioner with a penchant for reptiles in a creature-feature from Fox and Stan Winston Studios. Co-starring Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Oliver Platt and Brendan Gleeson, written by Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelley, and directed by horror helmer Steve Miner, the movie didn't exactly take a chunk out of the box office but it kept its head above water long enough to earn five low-budget made-for-TV sequels. See you later, alligator, this ain't the Nile, crocodile… it's Lake Placid!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
