1, 2, 3, 4! This is a movie that we adore! 📣🏳️‍🌈

We're going on another trip — this time to New Directions in Jamie Babbit's But I'm a Cheerleader (1999). A satirical look at the horrors of conversion therapy, But I'm a Cheerleader follows Megan (Natasha Lyonne), an All-American cheerleader who's sent to a local rehab camp to learn about to be a Happy Heterosexual™ when her friends and family suspect that she's a lesbian. But I'm A Cheerleader also stars Clea DuVall, Melanie Lynskey, RuPaul, and Cathy Moriarty.

In this episode: AI influencer Natasha Lyonne; straight people and American values; Britney realizing RuPaul was a man; biphobia in film.
