Description

A COMEDY OF SEXUAL DISORIENTATION.




"Straight is great!" Josh brings one of their favorite movies of all time to the show with queer camp cult classic BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER. We break down why this movie should have an infinitely more resounding impact, Rupaul as "an ex-gay", how it's even possible for conversion therapy to exist and why it's so fun to make fun of, and what goes into making a queer relationship so deeply personal and universal. Josh also finally catches up I Saw the TV Glow, Joey tries to create another Moonfall situation, Jackson rolls through the Fast and Furious franchise for some reason, and Sutherland sadly goes on a Young Sheldon hiatus.
