S1 Ep11: But I’m A Cheerleader with Sara...

The Shift Podcast Network
About this episode
OK, so this may not be a title that rings familiar to a lot of folks. But hear us out! The Last One To See wasn’t conceived with the idea that everyone everyone has seen each of the selections, and Sarah very much understood the assignment (and Alan willingly agreed to go along with it) with the selection of BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER - a queer classic and rare entry in the lesbian teen movie genre that saw a 20th anniversary re-release in 2020.

As mentioned, Alan and Sarah are our guests this week and you may know their work from the fantastic Juvenalia podcast.
