They thought she'd be easy. They thought wrong. It all began with the phone call asking former porn star Angel Dare to do one more movie. Before she knew it, she’d been shot and left for dead in the trunk of a car. But Angel is a survivor. And that means she’ll get to the bottom of what’s been done to her, even if she has to leave a trail of bodies along the way….

Today, Susie looks at sex workers who inject drugs. That's two taboos rolled into one! Susie reads an article from a blog that interviewed both men and women escorts about their drug use. This very frank and honest discussion will debunk some stereotypical thinking - for example that it's having to engage in sex for a living that turns people into addicts. They say no. They don't mind the sex work; it's just that they like drugs. This in-depth article covers brothels, self-medication, Johns who pay with drugs instead of cash, alcohol abuse, and sex workers' rights.

A hilarious, wildly erotic, and biting satire of Hollywood, Blue Movie tells the story of King B., an Oscar-winning director who's determined to shoot the dirtiest and most expensive X-rated movie ever made; Sid Krassman, a producer who's made a fortune catering to the tastes of the American public, and Angela Sterling, a misunderstood sex symbol who'd give anything (and everything) for a chance to do something "serious."

Today, Susie reflects on the life and influence of Marilyn Chambers, who recently passed away. Marilyn Chambers made a name for herself in the 1970s when she was an X-rated movie star, as well as the wholesome face featured on boxes of Ivory Snow laundry detergent. Marilyn was more than just a porn star; she was a true star and a sexual icon. Susie has many memories of why Marilyn stood apart in the sex industry.

Susie compares what's forbidden in the porn industry versus mainstream Hollywood, and the results are surprising. Who do you think is more prudish?
