Jan 31, 2023•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast Cover your webcams and watch out for tasers because we're talking Jon Abrahams' Exploited (2022). C/W: sexual assault. This indie film features male nudity in two minutes, boys in singlets and Leah FUCKING Pipes running around in lingerie.

Basically: she's a messy bitch that tries to tackle too much, but Exploited is so explicitly queer, pro-sex and unabashedly wild that we had to cover it...
