Chances are, you’ve had to find a way to earn some extra money at some point in your life. Most of us are not above a little hard work and elbow grease to help us meet a fiscal goal, but at what point does financial necessity supersede personal integrity? In BABYSITTER’S BLACK BOOK (2015), starring Spencer Locke, Angeline Appel, and Ryan McPartlin, we meet a group of high school girls who turn their babysitting business into an underground prostitution ring to help pay for college. At first, it’s all fun and cash and rap videos…but when the cold reality of felonious underage sex work sinks in, our heroines start to think that maybe they should have first considered financial aid.
We also discuss the REAL perpetrators on whom this “inspired by true events” tale was based (Spoiler alert: they were NOT white upper-middle class college hopefuls with privilege on their side), as well as what the effect of legalization and regulation of vice may have on society. Also, we hate to break it to you, but Rachel isn’t going to cry when you die. This episode is one for the books!
