The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader Murdering Mom

Michael Ritchie’s The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom (1993) takes a satirical look at one of the wildest true crime stories you’ve never heard of. Wanda Holloway (played by Holly Hunter) would do anything to help her 13-year-old daughter make the cheerleading squad, even if meant putting a hit on the competition. Listen  now to hear how one of the FIRST original HBO movies depicted  this stranger than fiction case.
