What a Creep
Season 21, Episode 5
Below Deck Down Under & The Biggest Loser
Reality TV is having an awakening right now; Bethenny Frankel announced on her Instagram that she is entering the fight for reality show casts and crews to unionize. She is working with top-notch lawyers Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman , who sent a letter to NBC that they are planning a class action lawsuit against the network with over 80 people signing on so far to talk about mistreatment while filming Bravo shows for the last 15+ years. This is BIG news.
Today, we are discussing two shows under the NBCUniversal/Bravo umbrella accused of mistreating their casts-- Below Deck and The Biggest Loser .

Beatrice Sparks "Go Ask Alice" & "Jay's Journal" (Creepy "NON" Fiction Writer)

1h 4m · Published 28 Jul 21:52
What a Creep
Season 21, Episode 3
Beatrice Sparks (Go Ask Alice & Jay’s Journal)

In the 1970s & 1980s--entertainment designed to reach teenagers (and cure them of society’s ills) fell to YA writers, TV Movies, and “ After School Specials .” One of the most compelling stories was the subject of 1971’s Go Ask Alice.
Based supposedly on the true story of a teen girl who delved into drugs and ultimately lost her life, it was designed to scare the audience, and the 1973 film cemented its importance as a tool for communicating between generations.
Beatrice Sparks billed herself as an adolescent psychology expert with an uncanny ability to write stories based on true-life journals and in-person interview sessions (thousands, she claimed.) But how true were her supposed nonfiction works?

Trigger warnings: Addiction and discussion of suicide

SAG, AFTRA, & WGA Strike (Support Union Workers!)

Season 21, Episode 2
The AMPTP and the Hollywood Strike
(Support Union Labor!)
The writers' and actors’ guilds are on strike. While movie and television studios have earned record profits, the workers who make those profits possible are not getting their fair share.
So, let’s talk about it. This episode will be a little different than our usual episode. We will explain who the players are, what the strike is about, and why we should be supporting it because the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers are the creeps in this situation.

Anthony Pellicano (80s/90s P.I. to the stars) Plus, the real Perry Mason (Non-Creep)

50m · Published 14 Jul 22:39
What a Creep
Season 21, Episode 1
Anthony Pellicano“Creepy Hollywood PI!”

Today’s episode gives you the world of underground Hollywood creepiness of the 1980s & 19990s variety. Anthony Pellicano (Whose New York Times documentary Sin Eater is available for streaming on HULU) was a high-profile “fixer” who made life horrifying or amazing, depending on whether you were his client. (Hint--for $25,000, he will bend A LOT of rules and laws to help your cause.)

Here we talk about his unusual career, why he ended up being sentenced to 15 years in federal prison, and who enabled him to succeed as long as he did.
