Hey Wonderlings, It’s the 100th episode of the podcast. Here’s the movie No One Would Tell starring Fred Savage and Candace Cameron. High school student 16-year-old Stacy Collins has never been in a relationship, as she has always been shy and never felt like part of the crowd. So when she hears that Bobby, a popular student and athlete, is interested in her, she immediately decides to go for it. But not soon after, Bobby starts to get jealous and manipulates her, constantly telling her what she can and cannot do. Things eventually escalate even further when Bobby would get physically violent with Stacy if she did anything that he didn't approve. With constant fighting, yelling, misunderstandings, and bruises, it is not long before Stacy's mother and friends suspect that something is wrong and start to worry that her life may be in danger. Despite the situation and constant pleas from others, Stacy would not let Bobby go and would take his side, refusing to end the relationship and telling everyone that everything is okay. Eventually, she comes to her senses and decides to break things off. But, at the last minute, she makes one last decision. However, her decision would lead to a deadly consequence. Let me just say this movie took me a week to get through. It was emotionally draining at times and I went on a lot of angry rants so I apologize in advance for the occasional screaming, but I won’t apologize for the dropped “F” bombs as they were well deserved given the plot of this movie. After the movie review I do talk about my own personal experience dealing with the death of a friend when I was 19 that I had to find out about in the newspaper. This was back in 2001. Don’t worry, the next Fred Savage movies I cover will be like a breath of fresh air after this.
