Jack and Nora are joined by our *very first guest* (fashion icon/ costume designer/ “steak lover” Faye McKeever) to discuss #41 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time - But I’m a Cheerleader. In this episode, Nora unlocks a hot new crush (and a new-ish sexual identity), Jack recites the supporting cast’s superhero CVs, and Faye is deeply shaken to learn Ellen Degeneres isn’t Canadian. Grab your pompoms, pack some tofu, and let’s “kill the Rangers”!

Topics include:

• Bottoms (2023) starring Ayo Edebiri & Rachel Sennott
• Hot glue
• The (alleged) vegetarian to gay pipeline

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

• Whether Megan is actually good at cheerleading (unclear)
• Who hurt you, Mary Brown?
