What is the plot of 'Friday Night Sext Scandal'?
When Shawn, 16, lands a spot on his high school football team, all his stars align. This is what he has wanted and now here it was. But as Shawn navigates the locker rooms, playing fields, and his new status at the school with his teammates he discovers a sick game being played that has nothing to do with the sport he loves.
His teammates, he discovers, trade in nude pictures of girls in his school, even placing bounties on certain 'unattainable' female students. Sickened, but not wanting to lose his place on the team, Shawn holds his tongue as the perversions around him abound. But when Shawn gets injured and sidelined from the team, he fears that his absence would mean not just losing his place on the team, but the friendship of his teammates.
Eager to remain onside with his teammates, Shawn decides to join in their sick game. But when his mother and best friend launch a vociferous public campaign to end the football team's nightmare games and name-and-shame the criminals, things fall apart for Shawn. Will his mother find out that he too has been participating in these sick games and can Shawn redeem himself?
'Friday Night Sext Scandal' main cast
Anthony Timpano
Anthony's boyish good looks belie the fact that he is almost an acting 'veteran'; having starred in 17 films and series since he got his big break as Ricky Gray in the TV series 'Tribal'. But it was as Benjamin 'Bingo' Butler in the megahit 'Riverdale' that Anthony really made a lasting impression on fans. After 'Riverdale', Anthony also starred in 'Nancy Drew', 'Legends of Tomorrow' and the TV series 'Wild Cards', opposite Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti. Fans can catch him next in the upcoming TV show 'Grendel'.
Keana Lyn Bastidas
Canadian actress Keana will be a familiar face to fans of the TV series 'The Hardy Boys', on which she plays Callie Shaw. Keana got her big break back in 2010 when she played Jordan in the TV series 'Dino Dan'. She followed that up with a role in the acclaimed TV miniseries 'The Yard'. Appearances in 'The Good Witch', 'Designated Survivor' and the criminally underrated 'Wayne' followed. Fans can see her next in the movie 'Festival of the Living Dead' opposite Camren Bicondova and Keana's twin sister Maia Jae Bastidas.
How do I stream 'Friday Night Sext Scandal' if I don't have cable?
Well if you don't have access to cable then your best bet is to use a live TV streaming service of which there are a gazillion ranging from the excellent but uber expensive YouTube TV to some absolute scammy dross (so you need to be very careful). The consensus seems to be that if you're looking for a live TV streaming service -- that also allows you to record your shows -- that's reliable and cheap then it's Philo which will give you both the Lifetime Network (which also has all those curtain-twitching reality shows) and LMN.
If money is no object then you can opt for the aforementioned YouTube TV or opt for DirecTV's aptly named 'Ultimate Package' which will not only give you Lifetime but also 12.8 million other channels with absolutely nothing to watch. Needless to say, you can cut through all the tape and go directly to the source and sign up for the on-demand streaming service Lifetime Movie Club.
