DESCRIPTION:GIRLY POP! PRESENTS BUT I’M A CHEELEADER (1999) INCL. INTRODUCT
	ION\n\nGirly Pop! celebrates the glittery\, messy\, and meaningful world o
	f girlhood on\nscreen! From iconic teen comedies to coming-of-age cult fav
	es\, we spotlight\nfilms that explore friendship\, self-discovery\, and th
	e cultural power of all\nthings “girly.” Often dismissed\, these stories a
	re anything but trivial —\nthey’re bold\, brilliant\, and totally unforget
	table. Join us as we reclaim the\nfun\, the fierce(ly fabulous)\, and the 
	formative moments that shaped a\ngeneration.\n\nJamie Babbit’s candy-colou
	red cult classic turns conversion therapy into a\ndeliciously artificial s
	atire of gender\, desire and compulsory heterosexuality.\nNatasha Lyonne s
	tars as Megan\, a high-school cheerleader whose horrified parents\nsend he
	r to True Directions after suspecting she might be a lesbian. Inside its\n
	pastel prison of rigid pinks and blues\, But I’m a Cheerleader finds sweet
	ness\,\nrebellion and queer self-discovery beneath the absurdity. Funny\, 
	romantic and\ndefiantly stylised\, it remains one of the most beloved quee
	r comedies of the\n1990s.
