Bonus Episode: For My Daughter's Honor (1996) Movie Review

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast. Today for a bonus episode I decided to cover the 1996 TV Movie For My Daughter's Honor or the alternate title Indecent Seduction. This movie starred Nicholle Tom of the first two Beethoven movies and the hit tv show The Nanny, and Gary Cole of Office Space and The Brady Bunch Movie as well as A Very Brady Sequel. In this movie In Tate, Oklahoma a popular coach, Pete Nash, is accused of having a sexual relation with 14 years old Amy, one of his school's pupils. I was the character Amy's (Nicholle Tom)age when this movie came out in 1996, so I could relate to her on an age level, also I loved the country group The Mavericks and had the CD that heavily features the song "O' What A Thrill". This movie also lightly showcases the early talents of Alyson Hannigan of Buffy and How I Met Your Mother fame as well as the first four theatrical American Pie movies. Plus Sara Rue who went on to star in the show Popular and guested on The Big Bang Theory. The movie is based on the Texas Monthly Article The Seduction Of Jane Doe by Skip Hollingsworth. Here's The Link To That Article: https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/the-seduction-of-jane-doe/ Sadly, when this originally aired in 1996 I had to go to bed before I could finish the movie, so I didn't see the ending, even though the following week in school a teacher who also caught the movie on tv happened to fill me in. I didn't see the movie in full until I was in my 20's when I caught it on the Lifetime Channel. Rewatching the movie as an adult I really felt for Amy's character and also cheered on her mother as she begin digging deeper into this teacher's illicit history with previous female students over the years. This whole town turned on Amy and her family, protecting their beloved coach and turning a blind eye to his wrong doings of teacher student affairs.
