"Indiana Icons: Angelo Pizzo on Capturing the Spirit of the Hoosier State" | S5E21 No Dishes Podcast

"Hoosiers" and "Rudy". Two timeless sports movies, both highlight Indiana cities and people. And, both written by Bloomington local, Angelo Pizzo, and directed by David Anspaugh, his fraternity brother at Indiana University. We are very grateful to have Angelo join us on our final episode of Season 5 and to share his very illuminating insights of the inner workings of each of these Hollywood classics. He also shares his thoughts on the Bloomington food scene, IU basketball, IU football, and fills us in on his newer works, including The Hill, starring Dennis Quaid and now streaming on Netflix.
