Break out your pom-poms, because this week Jackie and Danielle are diving headfirst into the pastel fever dream that is But I’m a Cheerleader! Joined by returning guest Zoe, the trio tackles the satirical cult classic where Natasha Lyonne’s perky protagonist finds herself at a conversion therapy camp that looks like a Barbie Dreamhouse got hijacked by homophobia. With RuPaul serving Butch Realness, Melanie Lynskey feeling up Jan during wedding dress fittings it’s safe to say no one is straight — not even the plot.

As the crew recounts shock therapy nightstands, trauma-induced make outs, and how a two-second boob graze earned this movie an NC-17 rating (the 2000s were wild), they manage to balance campy humor with real talk about sexuality, queer identity, and why it seems every straight man kisses like a vacuum cleaner on meth. Whether you’re a 5-day rental fan or ready to throw this one in the doghouse (literally), this episode is a cheer-filled, glitter-coated ode to being loud and proud.
