The hair choices in this 1996 film are mesmerizing, the wardrobe is out of this world, and the way this story wraps up wth a dramatic court scene meant that they'd be no better guest than a glamorous lawyer who takes on not-so-glamourous cases. Enter Molly's pal, Attoney Stara, a defense attorney living in the Dallas area who also shares her takes on various cases on TikTok and is a fixture in Molls' lives. 

From IMDb:

Thanks to a roommate's practical joke, bookish college student Joanna Halbert finds herself signed up with a Malibu-based escort service. Her initial annoyance turns to curiosity when she visits the boss's beach house, and she is soon captivated by the seemingly glamorous lifestyle of working as a high-class escort. Before long, however, she realizes that glitz and money go hand in hand with exploitation and sleaze--and it may be too late to get out.

Molly welcomes Kate Peter (MassholeMafia) to the podcast to discuss Accused: The Karen Read Story. Kate’s involvement with the case began in 2018, when she briefly worked as a writer for Turtle Boy’s blog, and has continued ever since. Today, she is one of the most outspoken advocates for justice for John O’Keefe, his family, and the witnesses.

Kate offers firsthand insight into how the “Free Karen Read” campaign began—and the chaos it unleashed on everyone even tangentially involved. Her perspective makes this episode a must-listen for anyone trying to understand how rumors and manipulative storytelling, marketed as journalism, snowballed into a worldwide movement that ultimately supported a drunk-driving, rage-fueled girlfriend despite overwhelming evidence against her.

Molly's joined by the founder of r/KarenReadSanity and attorney, SnooCompliments6210, to talk more about the Accused: The Karen Read Story, as well as their many observations about Karen, Bill Read, Alan Jackson, Bob Alessi, Brennan, Lally, et c. It's a long, cathartic talk between two people that have basically nothing in common beside two beliefs: 1) Karen Read did what she was accused of, and 2) LawTube is very dangerous.
