Podcast appearances and mentions of Jamie Babbit

This week on The Watchers, Jodie and Andrea revisit Election, Alexander Payne's dark, hilarious, and deeply cynical take on high school democracy. We get into the film's multiple narrators, shifting POVs, and why it still feels so sharp 25 years later. From Tracy Flick's overachieving rage to Jim McAllister's petty unraveling, we trace how the film breaks down ambition, morality, and why, in 2025, people are still getting Tracy Flick wrong.Next week, we're watching But I'm a Cheerleader, Jamie Babbit's bold, surreal, and very pink satire about queerness, conformity, and finding love at gay rehab.If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now. It would be SO helpful if you gave our little show a follow. If you like what you hear, you could even leave us a review.Recommended Reading:The Movie Election 25 Years On - Scott DetrowWhat America Gets Wrong About Tracy Flick - A.O.

Send us a textAfter seeing a clip of Wicked star Ariana Grande saying her favorite film is Jamie Babbit's But I'm A Cheerleader and being confused by the excitement of lesbians everywhere, Haylie knew it was time to see what the fuss was for herself. Lauren gleefully obliged, and here you have the conversation that followed. We were thrilled by the abundance of camp, shocked at how young and innocent the non-lesbian lesbian icon Natasha Lyonne was in 1999, and of course had to discuss the commentary peeking through the unseriousness of this film.Please leave us a review and download, it really helps us out! Our next book will be The Unfinished Line by The Senator's Wife author Jen Lyon, so start reading so you can join us in conversation. Follow and engage with us at:Tiktok and Instagram: @LesbianBookClubPodEmail: LesbianBookClubPod@gmail.com

On season 9, episode 3 of Paid in Puke, we've got spirit for Jamie Babbit's 1999 satirical comedy, "But I'm a Cheerleader", starring Natasha Lyonne, Clea Duvall, Melanie Lynskey, Cathy Moriarty, Katharine Towne, Mink Stole, RuPaul, Bud Cort, and for 5 seconds, a Dawson's Creek-era Michelle Williams. Special guest Kate Preusser, managing editor at Lookout Landing* joins us to talk about why this is one of two influential films from her early twenties (the other being Showgirls). Still, Kate had the most Hot Probs, in relation to representation and some of Megan's toxic traits.  Kate also brings to us some Fun Facts, as well as the not-so-fun bad takes from the (mostly cis male) critics of 1999 that saddled this delightful film with a low Rotty T score that persists to this day.  Baxter's offspring joins us on Keggers with Kids, and on the Lunchtime Poll, we reveal things we didn't know about ourselves until someone else pointed it out.   *Lookout Landing is an online Seattle Mariner's baseball community.     

In this shortcast edition of the Podcast for Social Research, recorded live at BISR Central, BISR's Rebecca Ariel Porte, Paige Sweet, and special guest Sonia Werner take an in-depth look back at Jamie Babbit's 1999 queer cult classic But I'm a Cheerleader—a campy send-up of gay conversion therapy and compulsory heterosexuality. What are the “roots” of sexual desire? Rebecca, Paige, and Sonia parse the film's playful mockery of the very notion—spoiler alert!—that sexuality (of any stripe) has anything so neatly grounded about it. Topics touched on include: sexuality's intersubjective structure, plastic flowers and monochrome palettes, Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, comedy as coping mechanism, femme queerness, butch visibility, camp as a celebration of surfaces, Foucault, discipline, straight pedagogy, and more!  You can download the episode by right-clicking here and selecting “save as.” Or, look us up on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

On this episode of Capital Games Movie Club, Zero and Wiz review for Pride Month the 1999 cult classic comedy "But I'm A Cheerleader" starring Natasha Lyonne, Clea DuVall, RuPaul and Cathy Moriarty, directed by Jamie Babbit. Does the film fare better now than it did with critics back in '99? Find out in our review!

It's still May for a few more hours, but Pride Month starts *now* at Spooky Tuesday. We just couldn't wait — and with a new Fifth Tuesday giving us the chance to cover any movie across all genres, we knew we had to do But I'm A Cheerleader (1999). An instant queer classic, this candy-colored flick is packed full of heart, silliness, and undeniable chemistry between Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall.  Whether you first watched it as a preteen without parental supervision or only saw it after MUNA and Phoebe Bridgers dropped their "Silk Chiffon" music video, it's pretty much consensus that Jamie Babbit's satirical rom-com is required viewing — and if you somehow still haven't seen it, well, we would be honored to make the introduction.   References:https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/visualizing-liberation-in-but-i-m-a-cheerleader-9518https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/clea-duvall-but-im-a-cheerleader-scary-time-1234773201/https://variety.com/2020/film/features/but-im-a-cheerleader-director-jamie-babbit-20th-anniversary-1234842163/https://southseattleemerald.com/2023/02/20/new-moon-movie-night-but-im-a-cheerleader-is-one-of-my-roots/ https://www.them.us/story/but-im-a-cheerleader-transformed-elliot-page-life Behind the Scenes:https://youtu.be/zlaIm9EYfcIDeleted Scenes:https://youtu.be/zOo_vYgdLkohttps://youtu.be/cen8Q0wgGTQTattle Tale - Glass Case Cello Case (aka THE SONG of this movie):https://youtu.be/RzVeKbWaniI"Silk Chiffon" by MUNA:https://youtu.be/fhyk9rchC2c

Today on What's My Frame? I'm joined by Poker Face hair department head, Marcel Dagenais. I had the absolute joy of meeting Marcel last year on the set of Rain Johnson's new series Poker Face. In the week leading up to joining the show I was blown away by Marcel and his team's attention to detail and pre planing. It dawned on me so many actors don't know what to expect after the offer email. We spend so much time focusing on getting the job we don't discuss the flood of emails / txts and planing that happens between booking and landing on set. Today Marcel and I discuss just that, how to share helping info with the hair & MUA department heads before arriving in their trailer along with so many more helpful tips. Of course we also dive into Marcel's work in commercials and editorial along with a few favorites stories from set including a wild one from Russian Doll.

On today's episode, we're going to sneak out from True Directions, and head over to the Cocksucker Bar for a night of uninhibited gay fun while we revisit the sapphic campy glory that is But I'm A Cheerleader (1999). This movie was directed by Jamie Babbit and written by Brian Wayne Peterson with a story credit by Jamie Babbit.This movie stars Natasha Lyonne (Slums of Beverly Hills, American Pie), Clea Duvall (The Faculty, She's All That), Rupaul (The Brady Bunch Movie, A Very Brady Sequel), and Cathy Moriarty (Raging Bull, Casper). Other actors in this film include Melanie Lynskey (Heavenly Creatures, Yellowjackets), Dante Basco (Hook, Avatar: The Last Airbender), and a small cameo from Michelle Williams (Dawson's Creek).This movie is such a queer comedic classic, and is an absolute staple for the lesbians and gays in general. It's campy, satirical, over-the-top, but also has some deep things to say about living the gay experience. If you've never seen this film, you should add it to your watchlist immediately, so you can experience this film.Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan BoyleShow E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

Becca's the one who recommended we watch this movie for our last episode of Filmuary, and we're so glad she did, because the three of us have so much to say about this joyful, silly, campy, gay ass movie.But I'm a Cheerleader, directed by Jamie Babbit, stars Natasha Lyonne as Megan Bloomfield, a high school cheerleader who is sent to a conversion therapy camp to "cure" her of her homosexuality.  The three of us discuss how the movie satirizes its heavy subject matter with razor-sharp comedy and heart, and how above all else, this movie centers and celebrates queer joy in an incredibly forward-thinking movie for the turn of the millennium. It's got an incredibly diverse cast, knockout performances, and SO many good jokes. (Also, Prince Zuko and RuPaul are in it?) We highly recommend it! Plus it's easy to view online if you wanna give it a watch before listening to our thoughts. Becca Rowland (she/they) is a Chicago-based actor, musician, and improviser.

Featuring special guests Emily Csuy (of Stoop Kidz!: A Hey Arnold! Podcast) and Charlie Mackin (https://twitter.com/charliemander13)! BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER is Jamie Babbit's tacky, iconic entry in the history of sardonic queer cinema, panned at release but brought back as a cult classic by the queer communities it was made for. Its dire subject matter (an all-American cheerleader discovers her homosexuality by force when she's sent to conversion therapy) is wrapped in a bubblegum aesthetic and inflammatory, comedic writing, positioning it between somewhere between “quaint queer dramedy” and “John Waters camp”. Its insistence on subverting straight symbology and queering the “traditional Western lifestyle” expands its focus beyond a singular queer girl finding herself to include conversations we're still having today on gender expression, matrimony, queer joy, and more.

Our summer celebration of Pride comes to a close (with many apologies for the delay) on a return to a familiar face: Jamie Babbit, best known for the landmark lesbian film BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER. Today we look at her 2007 follow-up, its deliberate attempts to introduce young viewers to the world of queer activism, and how well it achieves those goals. Also, the fact that you've probably never heard of it.

This week, in honor of Pride Month, Sarah and Mary recap the cult movie classic, “But I'm a Cheerleader.” From the satire, stereotypes, and sexual innuendos to the star-studded cast (Natasha Lyonne, RUPAUL!!) — this movie is the best. The eyes-wide-open french kissing scene brings back a wave of less-than-ideal memories to Sarah, while Mary is obsessed with the name of the gay bar in the movie and wants to pay homage by getting tee-shirts made. Have a listen and some laughs as the girls share their thoughts on an already hilariously dark movie. Subscribe, follow, like, and review wherever you get your podcasts.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and join us on Patreon. sarahcolonna.com  maryradzinski.com   © 2020-2021 Are You My Podcast?

Today, Kate brings Jamie Babbit's "But I'm A Cheerleader" to the podcast, a romantic comedy that takes a swipe at the ludicrous practice that is conversion therapy. Its a film that inspires a lot of joy and devotion from the LGBT+ community, and features some of the earliest work of incredible talents like Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall. The film also features a delightfully silly out-of-drag role from RuPaul Charles. https://www.autostraddle.com/100-best-lesbian-queer-bisexual-movies-285412/ https://variety.com/2020/film/features/but-im-a-cheerleader-director-jamie-babbit-20th-anniversary-1234842163/ linktr.ee/louistsangarides INSTAGRAM @l.a.tsang TWITTER @l_a_tsang

In honor of pride month, hosts David and Paris dive into the 1999 film 'But I'm a Cheerleader' starring Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall. This film was Jamie Babbit's first feature and dives into the world of conversion camps. Has the film Aged Like Milk? You decide!

This week we're discussing The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) directed by Desiree Akhavan. It is an adaption to the 2012 book written by Emily M. Danforth. As Becca says we discussing the miseducation of society while drawing similarities from Jamie Babbit's satire in But I'm a Cheerleader (1999) Comparing the book and the films visual elements and cutting the internal struggle of guilt, the importance of queer friendships and who do we blame for homophobia? The person themselves or society as a whole. The film brought up a lot for thought for us and new information we didn't know about, So, join us, as we scream from the top of our lungs WHATS GOING ON? Why icebergs conflict our gay experience and wonder why queer friendships in media are pushed to become relationships.

Erst seit letztem Jahr sind sogenannte Konversionstherapien in Deutschland gesetzlich verboten. Im Jahr 1999 verpackte Jamie Babbit in ihrem Langfilmdebut diese Thematik in einem komödiantischen Rahmen. Ob der Humor gut gealtert ist, wer hier aufs Korn genommen wird und mehr erfahrt ihr in der aktuellen Folge unseres Podcasts.

O primeiro longa de Jamie Babbit completou 20 anos em 2020, e conseguiu a proeza de se tornar um filme cult LGBT. Na história, Megan é uma líder de torcida com um namorado grudento e apaixonada pelo corpo das garotas. Um dia, sua família decide fazer uma "intervenção", levando ela a um centro de terapia de conversão. Em um ambiente completamente repressivo, Megan encontra seu primeiro amor e faz novos amigos.

It's 2021, and Swamp Grits is back! To start off this new--and hopefully better--year living in this dumpster fire, we are revisiting one of our favorite queer camp classics: But I'm a Cheerleader. We'll be talking about roots, greasy hair, Robbie the Boy, and how ridiculous gender roles can be when shown through the pink and blue lens of movie director, Jamie Babbit. Consider this a pallet cleanser as we embark on our next year of random shit we like! #SwampGrits4Eva

Well folks, we’re still alive and this week we are joined by the charming Natalie Zea. You Might Know Her From The Detour, Justified, The Other Guys, The Following, Dirty Sexy Money, Californication, Passions, and The Unicorn. We were absolutely giddy talking to Natalie about cutting her teeth on the wacky soap Passions, how she convinced the Hollywood powers-that-be that she was a gifted comedic player, and maybe most importantly, we dug into Natalie’s first role as Lana Tisdale in Kimberly Peirce’s unreleased short, Boys Don’t Cry, which would go on to inspire the feature film. We need this footage, stat! All that plus some excellent old Hollywood gossip. Please see us online at #OldHollywoodHungLikeAHorse.

This week we’re recapping Jamie Babbit’s, 1999 film, But I’m a Cheerleader, starring Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall. We discuss washing machine kissing, our love for Graham and lesbian stereotypes. While Becca questions if this film is based on her own life, Molly discovers her root to lesbianism is similar to the characters. The satirical element of this film highlights the stereotypes and that we must fit into a particular category: boy or girls, pink or blue, gay or straight… or a cheerleader. While Graham likes girls A LOT, Megan gets good grades, goes to church… she’s a cheerleader. And we follow their journey through True Directions, 5 step, conversion therapy programme. As they fall in love with a little help from the ex-ex gays and underground homo-rail road. Only Megan would get kicked out of a conversion camp for homosexual activity. Returning to win her love back, in the only way she knows how… with a cheer. This relatable, comedic film is a light-hearted twist on a much more serious topic.

For a wildly unpredictable new year, Sam and Jordan have a wildly unpredictable Aughtsterion coming at you thanks to Jamie Babbit's 2005 meditation on Very Sad Mysteries: The Quiet. This episode is really one for the books you guys, because it finds your co-hosts lobbying for The Quiet as the definitive 2000s anti-erotic thriller while providing you with a huge insider tip for how to get cast in a Sam Wineman feature film. Elisha Cuthbert is saying fuck your girl next door fantasies. Katy Mixon is giving a tour de force mean girl performance. Edie Falco is a tragic "prescript-a-holic", and taken all together, Babbit is leading this ensemble through a blistering commentary on the tropes of patriarchal Lolita lust in genre. If you wrote this movie off before then wake your ass up. It's time to correct the record.   Produced by: Jordan Crucchiola Music by: Sam Wineman

Being a pioneer is never easy, but Jamie's continuing journey is a remarkable story of artistic resilience and endless creative curiosity. Support this podcast

On this week's episode, we're evoking the spirit of American Beauty with lesbian director Jamie Babbit's incest drama/thriller The Quiet. Thankfully we've got Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe of the Kill by Kill podcast to help us unpack all of the lurid melodrama of this Elisha Cuthbert/Camilla Belle stinker.Where did this snooze worthy film go wrong: the languid pacing? The atrocious dialogue? Aiming for prestige instead of embracing queerness and camp?In between bouts of maniacal laughter about milkshakes, masturbation and Belle's complete lack of screen presence, we never quite reach consensus (Trace *likes* this film...but can't explain why!).

We are oozing with excitement about her upcoming projects: the new take on “A League of Their Own” and “Only Murders in the Building” starring Steve Martin, Martin Short (Dana’s boyfriend), and Selena Gomez where they… wait for it… start a podcast together. Her resume is the longest - having directed *almost* every tv show in the land, but her real bread & buttah is indie filmmaking. This queen got her chops from working with Martin Scorsese in film in the early days of her career and Ryan Murphy in tv. We get a really candid look at just how difficult/exhilarating it is to be a director - putting massive puzzles together and flying by the seat of your pants whilst holding a hastily crafted pb&j. Also, lesbians are great. @jamiebabbit @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy  @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes! We so appreciate your lurve, shout outs, and support! XOXO IN THE ROOM is a proud member of the Broadway Podcast Network. www.bpn.fm Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alexis Dent, writer and co-host of the very funny podcast "The Violet Wanderers" joins us to discuss Jamie Babbit's 1999 cult classic queer satire, BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER.We get into mid-century modern kitsch, the narrow-mindedness of cishet reviewers, the evils of the MPAA (who gave BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER an NC-17 rating for reasons all but explicitly homophobic.) Alexis also discusses her adolescence, growing up bisexual and trans in the midwest (in the frank and witty fashion few but she can) and why this film was how this film was the first time she saw herself in media.Follow Alexis on Twitter @FilthAlexis Follow her wonderful podcast "The Violet Wanderers" @violetwanderers (www.violetwanderers.com) Support the show (https://twitter.com/YouStarteditpod)

“Let’s Be Bad” premiered on March 5th, 2012. It was written by Julie Rottenberg and Elisa Zuritsky, and directed by Jamie Babbit. As performers in the Bombshell workshop are warming up for the start of a rehearsal day, Derek uses Karen to work on a new sequence for the bridge sequence. Ivy walks in and clearly startled asks “am I late?” Eileen is anxious about the script developments, interrupting Tom in a date with a handsome lawyer who he’s just not that into. But it’s really Julia who is stalling over dinner at Westway Diner with Michael Swift.   Eileen uses sneaky Ellis to spy on Julia’s progress. Derek is pissed about everything going well, even pitting Ivy against Karen by asking Cartwright to perform a tricky vocal passage in front of a full company rehearsal.  In their private rehearsal, Karen graciously apologizes for the awkward situation, which Ivy labels “taking singing lessons from a chorus girl.” Ivy has a lot on her plate but she’s handling it, which she shows both the audience in the rehearsal room and watching on TV with a fully-staged fantasy version of “Let’s Be Bad.” After the rehearsal, Sam confines in Ivy that “This company has too many drama queens as it is.” We find out Sam is gay, even though he likes sports (!)  Afterwards, drunk Ivy confronts Derek at his apartment about why he can’t support her more. Derek tells her he wishes that people “didn’t have those annoying feelings,” to which Ivy yells back “THEATRE IS ABOUT FEELINGS!” Derek the Nightmare gives her a pseudo-apology, which is more than enough for Ivy to spend the night!  Also, Julia’s son gets arrested because she’s out with Michael Swift, who woos her with a front stoop serenade. And Karen learns how to be sexy to help her boyfriend Dev get a leg up in the running for the mayor’s new press secretary. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As this is LGBTQ Pride month, here’s our contribution to the cause! Taking you back to 2000 for the bold, game-changing, positively-charged romantic satire that advanced queer cinema, BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER. ▶️ (02:40) After she’s accused of being a lesbian, a naive high school cheerleader is sent to a reprogramming boot camp for LGBTQ youths. However, intentions backfire when she begins to better understand herself and fall in love with a fellow female camper. Discussions include: the film’s placement in American culture and queer cinema history, usage of sexuality and gender stereotypes, the satirization of true-life struggles, the MPAA’s treatment of the film’s content, misconceptions about the film’s inspiration, the cast, director and interconnectedness in subsequent years. And why the casting of legends Mink Stole and Bud Cort? We have our theories. *Starring Natasha Lyonne, Clea DuVall, Cathy Moriarty, RuPaul Charles; Directed by Jamie Babbit. ▶️ (38:50) PICKS OF THE WEEK.

On the latest Truth & Movies, Michael Leader, Rowan Woods and James Luxford take in two new releases about the pitfalls of youth. First up is Desiree Akhavan’s sparkling second feature, The Miseducation of Cameron Post, set in a conversion therapy camp in the early 1990s, followed by Bart Layton’s unconventional heist caper, American Animals. And continuing the conversion therapy theme, this week’s Film Club offering is Jamie Babbit’s cult LGBT comedy, But I’m a Cheerleader. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In episode thirty-nine of movies imo., Ben, Brandon, and Daniel yell over each other about their favorite films from the queer canon in a Very Special Pride Edition of the podcast. Ben brings Jennie Livingston's seminal Harlem vogueing documentary PARIS IS BURNING to illustrate its portrayal of the American Dream (as well as Kenneth Anger's subversive touchstone FIREWORKS and Todd Haynes's First Amendment firebrand POISON), Daniel celebrates Donna Dietch's DESERT HEARTS for its queering of the western milieu and strong character work (and also Pedro Almodóvar's queer noir LAW OF DESIRE starring a murderous, smoldering Antonio Banderas), and Brandon makes sure that everyone knows to watch James Ivory's magnetic MAURICE on account of it being his new favorite film (in addition to Jamie Babbit's idiosyncratic, stylish comedy BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER). Happy Pride to our queer family, now and forever. ✊

This week, Kait tells Victoria, in great detail, about the lesbian cult classic film, But I'm a Cheerleader. Starring Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall. Directed by Jamie Babbit.

In this episode, we talk about that “other” show. Star Trek faithfuls have made no qualms about their love of “The Orville”, and how it has managed to capture some of that Star Trek magic. Throw in the vast differences in the tone of Discovery, along with the CBS All-Access paywall, and you have the makings of a true competitor. But how does the show really stand-up?

The franchise continues with the 80-minute (check that out!) follow-up to Richard Linklater's first film. We talk about meta-filmic cinema, how this film is like Berthold Brecht crossed with Arthur Miller, and why the film is a reflection on the process of creating memories. This Week's Watching THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE (2017): Chris McKay, Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis MOANA (2016): Ron Clements, Auli'i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson Recommendations DODES'KA-DEN (1970): Akira Kurosawa, Yoshitaka Zushi, Kin Sugai BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER (1999): Jamie Babbit, Natasha Lyonne, Clea Duvall DEAD POETS' SOCIETY (1989): Peter Weir, Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke MARY AND MAX (2009): Adam Elliot, Bethany Whitmore, Toni Collette Footnotes Firstly, an interesting introduction to meta-cinema. Secondly, here are links to the playwrights we mention this week, in an episode that looks more at dramatic than filmic convention. Finally, here are a bunch of articles on the process of creating memories, that seemed particularly pertinent to this week's discussion: 1, 2, 3, and 4.

In this week’s show, we’ll be discussing three films that are currently playing at, or coming soon to FilmScene.  Our line-up includes Jamie Babbit’s But I’m a Cheerleader, which plays this Saturday night at 11PM as part of Bijou After Hours.  Next, we’ll be discussing Wild Tales, last year’s academy award-nominee for Best Foreign Language Film from Argentina.  Wild Tales continues to play at FilmScene throughout the weekend and following week.  Finally, we’ll be discussing Siddharth, which plays at FilmScene on Tuesday, April 21, at 6PM as part of Bijou Horizons, a series dedicated to bringing awareness to world cinema.
