On this episode of The Sapphic AV Club, Alice, Rad and Jess discover their queer roots watching But I'm A Cheerleader (1999), a film that has them divided about the best ways to tackle serious subjects through media. Rad has a few problems with the film's inconsistent tone, Alice talks about the time she met Natasha Lyonne, and Jess provides a reminder that she is bisexual. Disclaimer: this episode was recorded while all members of the podcast were extremely sleepy, so they cannot be held responsible for their words.

Alice, Rad and Jess are back with a discussion of Rad's pick: the 2004 classic, My Summer of Love. That's right, two Emily Blunt movies in a row! What a gift for us all. This time the club was divided on how to feel about the film, sparking discussions about voyeurism, whether handheld cameras should be outlawed, depictions of religion, and whether Emily Blunt on a horse is the pinnacle of cinema.
