Bonus! Why stealing movies is good, actually
🕑 Added 2025-08-10 16:00:10 +0000 UTCThere are two different versions of But I'm a Cheerleader -- one that looks great, and another that looks absolutely terrible. And of course, the terrible version was the only one you could get for many years, because the studio that produced it threw out all of the original elements. But there was one pristine copy hiding away somewhere, and the story of how it was tracked down for a beautiful 4K restoration is the topic of this week's bonus video!
Plus: An X-Men mystery; Fleckman's identity revealed; and also why I am mad at the American Historical Association.

Wow, the whole opening theme song by Rita Moreno is great!

Oh, Matt, I seem to be the only one who's thought to mention this, but aren't you wearing a shirt (that I think I've seen you wear before) that says "I'd rather be watching the 1965 sitcom My Mother the Car", or am I losing my mind? Losing my mind... Losing my mind... (Ok random time for a Liza reference, but as soon as I typed 'losing my mind' the first time, she just popped in there. Haha.)
