Top Notch Nonsense Episode 64. Alicia-Predator and Prey: The Crush (1993)/The Babysitter (1995)
Alicia Silverstone playing the victim and the perpetrator. Pervy, icky, disgustingness about the base emotions of teenagers who want to destroy other lives. Beware, dark uncomfortable jokes about the worst acts known to man and woman and children.
As always NSFW and Spoilers abound.

Sicko Fairy Tales With Outspoken Ladies Who Don’t Take No S**t: Freeway (1996)/Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trick Baby (1999)
There is the true evil of men against confident ladies who don’t mess around. Matthew Bright’s vision of dark life in modern America through the eyes of 2 downtrodden girls ready to fight the world and the worst of the worst. The ‘Neo-exploitation classic’ as Vinegar Syndrome put it & it’s disjointed and really bizarre sequel. One Little Red Riding Hood Story and One Hansel And Gretel Story. Vanessa (Reese) and Crystal (Natasha) deserve your respect. We talk about some extremely triggering and dangerous stuff so be warned. NSFW and very explicit and of course Spoilers abound.
