Never Been Kissed + Nellie Bly = Never Been Undercover at an Asylum

In this weeks episode Vonia revisits the late 90s Rom Com, Never Been Kissed! While the romance element in this movie hits a little too close to Mary Kay Letourneau’s home to completely capture our hearts, we can’t deny the fun of watching awkward Josie (Drew Barrymore) go back to high school undercover to get the scoop on teenagers these days. Then Averyn tells the true story of investigative journalist, Nellie Bly. In order to secure a position as a reporter at New York World, Nellie agreed to go undercover at the insane asylum on Blackwell’s Island to report the goings on behind closed doors. After successfully convincing a judge and two doctors that she should be committed, Nellie spent ten days living on Blackwell’s Island where she witnessed the horrific and inhumane treatment of the patients residing there.  This weeks episode is sponsored by Magic Mind!
