We're looking at Jamie Babbit’s But I’m A Cheerleader. Released in 1999, the film stars Natasha Lyonne as Megan, the titular cheerleader who seems to have some very “unnatural urges” according to her parents, teachers, and friends. She’s sent to a camp where she gets re-educated in the ways of heterosexuality. Director Jamie Babbit joins Mike as a special guest, alongside guest co-hosts Joshua Grannell and Cassandra Baker, to discuss the film.
