On season 9, episode 3 of Paid in Puke, we’ve got spirit for Jamie Babbit’s 1999 satirical comedy, “But I’m a Cheerleader”, starring Natasha Lyonne, Clea Duvall, Melanie Lynskey, Cathy Moriarty, Katharine Towne, Mink Stole, RuPaul, Bud Cort, and for 5 seconds, a Dawson’s Creek-era Michelle Williams.
Special guest Kate Preusser, managing editor at Lookout Landing* joins us to talk about why this is one of two influential films from her early twenties (the other being Showgirls). Still, Kate had the most Hot Probs, in relation to representation and some of Megan’s toxic traits.
Kate also brings to us some Fun Facts, as well as the not-so-fun bad takes from the (mostly cis male) critics of 1999 that saddled this delightful film with a low Rotty T score that persists to this day.
Baxter’s offspring joins us on Keggers with Kids, and on the Lunchtime Poll, we reveal things we didn’t know about ourselves until someone else pointed it out.
The 2018 Seattle International Film Festival ran from May 17th to June 10th. That’s 25 solid days of movie madness.
