"Outerlands" Provides Community in Unexpected Places
Intergenerational friendships and community can be so powerful, and this was a great example.

Uh-oh, it sure looks like these two students are in trouble when their teacher catches them messing around in the classroom. But school is all about learning and it looks like Mrs. Adams is going to give little Holly & Johnny a lesson in sex education they won't forget. Brittany surprised her teacher one day when she tells him what she is going to do after graduation. It appears this little twat thinks she can make more money being a stripper than getting a real job. And if that doesn't pan out she shows old Mr. Adams what she will have to resort to make real money. Kara has a real bad attitude. And this tough little street girl just ran into her match as she meets a teacher that deals her a real "straightening out." It's amazing what a hard cock will do for you girl.

What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
