Hello! By popular demand, we did a minisode on the Below Her Mouth, an unexpected affair quickly escalates into a heart-stopping reality for two women whose passionate connection changes their lives forever.

Hey buddies! EOB and Sarah G finally got our shit together (not really) to recap one of our fav favs in modern lesbian canon. But I'm A Cheerleader, a 1999 American satirical romantic comedy film directed by Jamie Babbit and written by Brian Wayne Peterson. Natasha Lyonne (OITNB, Russian Doll, Slums of Beverly Hills fame, major dyke energy but not gay) stars as Megan Bloomfield, a high school cheerleader whose parents send her to a residential inpatient conversion therapy camp to cure her lesbianism(terrible/ cruel idea, what assholes). There Megan soon comes to embrace her sexual orientation, despite the therapy, and falls in love with Graham played by the fabulous Clea DuVall. The supporting cast includes Melanie Lynskey (The L Word, 2 & 1/2 Men, Heavenly Creatures), Dante Basco (RUFIO! RUFIO RU FI OOOH), Eddie Cibrian, Cathy Moriarty (Casper), Katrina Phillips, RuPaul(YAS QUEEN), Richard Moll, Mink Stole, Kip Pardue, Michelle Williams, and Bud Cort. OMG y'all this movie is so damn good. Everything from the monochromatic set design, to the perfect music selects (Glass Vase, Cello Case OMG) and a dynamo cast. TLWMMG gives it two gay thumbs up! Don't go to creepy conversion camps, go get tacos and STAY GAY!
