Wait y’all NEEED to watch “But I’m a Cheerleader” Starring Natasha Lyonne, one of my favorite gay classics of all time , campy and well done cinematography wise
I remember when the discourse around this movie was just about how "toxic" it was, and I was just like "yall, this is a cute fun movie and everyone in it kind of sucks, some more than most, but the point is that high school sucks, omg let gay people have fun things you miserable assholes- a gay", so i'm glad to see people having fun with it the way that it was meant to be engaged with. It was like when people hated that lesbian rom-com with Lena Heady because it was "too mainstream", like, bitches getting mainstream rom-coms where Piper doesn't die at the end has been the whole ass journey of lesbian movie acceptance.
What(!) Ppl didn’t like it? I loved this when I saw it a few years ago and had to hunt down a copy of the blu ray (which was more difficult than it shoulda been). I just assumed it was underground cult classic that only few knew about but all loved. Some viewers can’t deal with happiness I guess. (The lead actor in GBF was also fun in Faking It )
The first time I watched this movie it somehow felt like both a hate crime to all minorities and a regular high school teen drama at the same time and then you remember it's from like 2013 and that explains it all
When I watched this movie the first time, I thought fawcett was going to be the antagonist in this movie, but I’m glad I was wrong since she seemed like a good friend to tanner throughout the movie, it was nice to see. The humor in this movies feel cheesy and self aware, I love it. Especially of how they make fun of the bullies and the horny closeted Mormon boyfriend. And pulling the glitter bucket at the stage that led Brent to come out will also be a fun vibe. Also how they sort of humanize Fawcett and Caprice, that was a nice touch since a lot of mean girls in movies aren’t shown like that all the time. And I agree, Shley is nice, she kind of reminds me of a parody of Cher from clueless but as a Mormon.
yeah, the first 2 times they said it I thought they were saying “Solar Dad” and I thought huh that’s some weird ass name and then I was like OOHHHH they’re just butchering Soledad
Yes, I’m glad you guys had fun with this! Not much people talk this movie, it’s silly but iconic. And I agree they have some ridiculous names in this movie, its hilarious. I almost forgot since Britta will always be an unforgettable weird name to me. Also Rizzo, your dad tank top outfit looks great on you, you like Harry Styles or Matt Helders in the 60s-70s era, all you need is a fancy classic car and you look like an Italian James Dean. Oh and this is a compliment not flirting, I promise. Also you not noticing that tanner and Brent were kissing while admiring your manatee is hilarious, I hope you guys do a blooper reel of all your videos. 🤗 💜
@@riann7707Community is the first place I heard the name Britta and I’ll never not think of the water filter when I hear it, lmao even after watching the whole show more than once
I don't think you can really call that a "called it!" moment bc the movie intentionally made it obvious for the audience from the start and was just waiting for the characters to catch up lol.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! The cast is chefs kiss and it is genuinely hilarious and full of heart. It is camp to the max and i hate that not a lot of people talk about it. Like it came out when there was like minimal representation and did an amazing job of not taking itself seriously.
This movie is so fun and absolutely love Ms. JoJo Levesque doing her thing in it. Definitely feels like a successor film to Saved! (2004) with Mandy Moore and Jena Malone among others. Also TV-wise, the dialogue is a lot like the MTV show Awkward.
I remember watching this movie ages ago when I was looking for any possible queer media to watch. A wild ride lol. Y’all should check out The Way He Looks! It’s a really cute queer romance with a blind main character. It’s also a Brazilian film, so it could be a good one for your break from major studios :)
Love you guys are supporting the strike and not reacting to some movies and shows for the time being you both give countless reasons to love this channel.
Michael J. Willett (Tanner in this movie) was also a main character TV show called Faking It (2014-2016) which had similar vibes to this. If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend it.
i LOVE this movie. so much fun! dont get the haters who call themselves "allies" that says this film is a gay hate crime...............sigh. gays are going around calling each other the f word and this film is your battle? sis fix your life and spend five minutes on grindr. this film is NOT the problem or a problem at all. its campy satire and FABULOUS!
the way this movie was on repeat for me in 2013,like i never watched passed season one of faking it, even though it had 2 actors from this,and it's kinda the same vibe, but this movie like it was everything to me i love it. there are lines i still say and forgot that it was from it, like it changed my brain chemistry for sure
I think this movie has a punchy humor similar to mean girls, but targeted to high school gays as opposed to a more female / general audience. I think it touches on a lot of important themes, if in a subtle way. Holds a special place in my heart lol enjoyed your reaction video
YAYY! new video! I remember seeing another reaction to this and it makes me so nostalgic, the energy is similar to movies I watched as a kid in the early 2010s lol
3:53 I AGREE 😍 also I only know about this movie BECAUSE of JoJo! She's one of my favorite singers of all time so when I found out she was in this, I went out of my way to find this movie online...I was like 15 and was NOT ready for the dialogue lol
Once again back to watch this, this and Derry Girls are such great fuckin reactions. Wonder if you plan to go back to s2 and 3 for Derry girls, I miss those chaotic mf's
Just want to say thank you guys for posting this video! That movie was a hot mess in the best way and I needed this commentary this week. Truly can’t say how much light you all are bringing me during this time. ❤
I've always wondered if this movie was any good and never wanted to risk it, but this was definitely the most fun way I could have watched it! Fun reaction and thank you for supporting the strikes 🙌
i remember watching this film yeeaars ago when i was either in the closet or newly out and found it on netflix and i didnt realise how bad the wording was LMAO; such a good film though, i love it:')
Thank you for supporting the strike! As a SAG dancer it has not been easy or fun but we really do appreciate the support from everybody. It’s louder than you think 🫶🏾
I love this movie... It's camp but still has heart. Sort of reminds me of But I'm a Cheerleader, which is hilarious since Natasha Leone was the lead in that
Idk why I put this one off for so long but this was hilarious 🤣 Between Benji trying to keep the "surprise" a secret 13:25, to 20:07 where Rizzo GENUINELY losing track and almost missing the kiss SINGING FREAKING VEGGIE TALES?! 😭😭😭 I need my friend I introduced to y'all to see this immediately LMAO OH OH! 11:13 "this is an A and GAY conversation", he's gay and she's (allegedly) "A" in Pretty Little Liars? Do you think that was intentional or just a funny coincidink?? 👀👀👀
Some horror movies I NEED you guys to watch are Urban Legend, Kristy, The Fly, The Descent, a nightmare on elm street( the first movie and part 3), and Wes Cravens New Nightmare
I have watched this reaction so many times now, your reaction to this + the film itself is so good. I can't wait to see similar reactions! Speaking of reactions, I just watched Cabin in the Woods today so I finally got that one short clip you edited in. Wonder if you ever plan to watch it on this or the other channel? It's so similar to Evil Dead Rising, which you have reacted to before.
This might be my favorite reaction of y'all's so far! So much fun! I was just telling my friend about this movie last week. Also, love the support of the strike
Great reaction!! ❤️ I remember this when it came out. (Pun not intended) Really takes me back as a teen. Anyway, it’s nice to see y’all supporting the SAG strike. If you need a recommendation for a movie to watch without the BIG companies, I recommend 1998 Pleasantville or My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2002. But I could be wrong.
I’ve had the five second clip of the mean girls mashup in my head all day and I fully blame you guys. Literally came back here to inform you after my coworkers heard me singing it at work 🤦🏻♀️ SMH
Thanks for reviewing these movies, I would never even know some of them exist. But your reviews are hilarious and because of you two, I don’t have to actually watch some of those flicks. Although, I’ll search this one out. Too funny, thanks. Took me a second to recognize Megan Mullally without her “Will and Grace” makeup and coif.
I’ve never seen this but i think my favorite gay movie has to be The Birdcage with Robin williams and Dianne Weist❤❤❤ i’d LOVE to see y’all react to it!
Benji's fucking straight face as he LIED to Rizzo is top tier.
😂😂😂🙌
As an Ex-Mormon, all the Mormon jokes are *cracking* me up. XD The sexual repression is so damn real, y'all have no idea.
😂😂😭
@@PinkPopcastplease tell me the movie, ‘red, white and royal blue’ is in the line up. I’m looking forward to benji’s heart eyes😂
The dialogue is truly top tier
Epic 😂
The girl who plays Fawcett, Sasha Pieterse, is such an icon honestly
i was so convinced it was sydney sweeney until like 3/4 through the movie
Wait y’all NEEED to watch “But I’m a Cheerleader” Starring Natasha Lyonne, one of my favorite gay classics of all time , campy and well done cinematography wise
That one was amazing. I did not expect that much heart in it!
😉
Rizzo yawning and admiring his necklace at the kiss was so funny!!
The adhd came in hard 😂
And then seeing the kiss 😂😂😂
Honestly I’ve always thought of this as the gay version of Mean Girls😂
It’s so mean girls coded lol
When you find out that “Soledad” is Spanish for “Loneliness” 🤣😅😂
😭
I remember when the discourse around this movie was just about how "toxic" it was, and I was just like "yall, this is a cute fun movie and everyone in it kind of sucks, some more than most, but the point is that high school sucks, omg let gay people have fun things you miserable assholes- a gay", so i'm glad to see people having fun with it the way that it was meant to be engaged with.

Wow I didn’t know people were hating on this but you’re so right, it’s just a funny gay comedy lol it doesn’t have to be perfect
@@PinkPopcast we deserve fun things because they’re fun and that’s my thesis
What(!) Ppl didn’t like it? I loved this when I saw it a few years ago and had to hunt down a copy of the blu ray (which was more difficult than it shoulda been).
I just assumed it was underground cult classic that only few knew about but all loved. Some viewers can’t deal with happiness I guess.
(The lead actor in GBF was also fun in Faking It )
Rizzo blanking out and breaking into "Barbara Manatee" is the best thing I've ever seen. Christian songs from childhood will haunt us forever! 😂
Right!? 😂😂
I remember going out of my way to watch this movie as soon as it came out and 12 year old me was like “I’m such an ally” 🤡
😂😂😂🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
The first time I watched this movie it somehow felt like both a hate crime to all minorities and a regular high school teen drama at the same time and then you remember it's from like 2013 and that explains it all

Yeah, it seems like just a light movie, but it actually does a really good job, playfully, tackling stereotypes, and breaking them down
14:11 I love that you guys did this movie on its 10 year anniversary ON ACCIDENT 😂
😂😂 right!?
Love you guys standing in solidarity with SAG/WGA!! Excited to watch your content as always
Thanks so much!!
I already laugh and enjoy your commentary but the whole "LIAR" Anakin edits had my dying! LOL
😂😂
Soledad isn't that weird of a name, it's a name latin American/Spanish speakers prefer. It sounds less stupid with Spanish pronunciation
yeah, the first 2 times they said it I thought they were saying “Solar Dad” and I thought huh that’s some weird ass name and then I was like OOHHHH they’re just butchering Soledad

😁😁😁
I think since watching Community with one of the main characters named Britta it just never occurred to me how weird that name might be lol
@@riann7707 That's fair, you get used to it as you watch the show more.
@@riann7707Community is the first place I heard the name Britta and I’ll never not think of the water filter when I hear it, lmao even after watching the whole show more than once
This movie is SO unhinged but in the best possible way LMAO
Right!? 😂
I don't think you can really call that a "called it!" moment bc the movie intentionally made it obvious for the audience from the start and was just waiting for the characters to catch up lol.
I called it!
This movie is so dumb in the best way. It sort of has the same sense of humor as Another Gay Movie (another movie I’d love to see Rizzo react to).
I Can only imagine the editing they would have to do haha
@@BrianZatzke Yeah that would probably have to be a Patreon only reaction.
Sasha Pieterse-Sheaffer is so fierce and the fact she was like 16 in this is wild to me!
That’s awesome that an actual high schooler played a high schooler for once lol didn’t realize that
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! The cast is chefs kiss and it is genuinely hilarious and full of heart. It is camp to the max and i hate that not a lot of people talk about it. Like it came out when there was like minimal representation and did an amazing job of not taking itself seriously.
Absolutely!! This was right before people started caring about queer films 😭
I love that Sasha always plays the most iconic characters loved her here and in pretty little liars she always serves
This movie is so fun and absolutely love Ms. JoJo Levesque doing her thing in it. Definitely feels like a successor film to Saved! (2004) with Mandy Moore and Jena Malone among others. Also TV-wise, the dialogue is a lot like the MTV show Awkward.
Omg both of those are great! 😄
I remember watching this movie ages ago when I was looking for any possible queer media to watch. A wild ride lol. Y’all should check out The Way He Looks! It’s a really cute queer romance with a blind main character. It’s also a Brazilian film, so it could be a good one for your break from major studios :)
This is such a cute film ! Would highly recommend!!
Benj refusing to reveal that he is gay 😂
😂😂
every time i see the girl who said “you’re welcome” thats all i think about
Same!! Haha I said at one point, but It got cut out lol
@@PinkPopcast dang it
Love you guys are supporting the strike and not reacting to some movies and shows for the time being you both give countless reasons to love this channel.
🙌🙌 ❤️❤️
Well said!!
Please please do “but I’m a cheerleader” it has Natasha leonine in it and it’s and indie film! It’s so cute
🥰🥰
Michael J. Willett (Tanner in this movie) was also a main character TV show called Faking It (2014-2016) which had similar vibes to this. If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend it.

i don’t think i could’ve gone through this movie without y’all’s support 😭
🙌🙌😆
I have heard great things about it although I’ve never had a chance to see it, sadly. High time we had a gay friendly satire.
the way this movie was on repeat for me in 2013,like i never watched passed season one of faking it, even though it had 2 actors from this,and it's kinda the same vibe, but this movie like it was everything to me i love it. there are lines i still say and forgot that it was from it, like it changed my brain chemistry for sure
Hahah such a great movie!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who loves it
Tanner's best friend played RJ Berger in The Hard Times of RJ Berger which used to be on MTV channel.
A reaction to the Amazon film Red, White, & Royal Blue is definitely required for you two! Such a cute gay romantic comedy!
Soon hopefully
Necessity is the mother of invention is the funniest quote in the whole movie
13:29 yall was so in sync when y’all lean into the left side 😂
😂😂
I think this movie has a punchy humor similar to mean girls, but targeted to high school gays as opposed to a more female / general audience. I think it touches on a lot of important themes, if in a subtle way. Holds a special place in my heart lol enjoyed your reaction video
I watched this movie ONCE and remember nothing so I can't wait to have a blast watching with you.
😁😁
YAYY! new video! I remember seeing another reaction to this and it makes me so nostalgic, the energy is similar to movies I watched as a kid in the early 2010s lol
It’s sooo 2010s haha
Fawcet is the girl from Sharkboy and Lava girl. She is the teacher's daughter and the princess or whatever
Oh yea I forgot she’s in that too lol
3:53 I AGREE 😍 also I only know about this movie BECAUSE of JoJo! She's one of my favorite singers of all time so when I found out she was in this, I went out of my way to find this movie online...I was like 15 and was NOT ready for the dialogue lol
Since Rizzo hasnt seen much Will & Grace, you MUST do a binge reaction to the original series!! That is comedy gold!!
WAIT!!! I just asked for this when Red white and Royal Blue came out. I cant believe yall actually did it lmfaoo!!
🙌🙌😄
Once again back to watch this, this and Derry Girls are such great fuckin reactions. Wonder if you plan to go back to s2 and 3 for Derry girls, I miss those chaotic mf's
Soledad is a common Spanish/Latin name. It’s translates to “loneliness”
🥲
Just want to say thank you guys for posting this video! That movie was a hot mess in the best way and I needed this commentary this week. Truly can’t say how much light you all are bringing me during this time. ❤
Our pleasure☺️
May I recommend Handsome Devil. It's a gay indie Irish movie from 2016 with Nicholas Galzatine and Andrew Scott.
I love handsome devil!!
We're seeing a lot of Galzatine this year! 😊
You guys should watch Saved! It’s right up your alley and bonus: it’s got Mandy Moore
Definitely lol
OMG MY FAV MOVIE OF ALL TIME 💖 (well second to mean girls)
🙌🙌
This movie is so meta it gave me an aneurysm and I think I’m in love 😍
😂
That might actually be something else. Lol
I've always wondered if this movie was any good and never wanted to risk it, but this was definitely the most fun way I could have watched it! Fun reaction and thank you for supporting the strikes 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oooh, you guys should totally watch iconic episodes of Will & Grace! I'd love to see if you guys find it dated or still as funny as it was.
Ooh nice!
the wardrobe is giving love culture MORE than DUFF and it's so hard to look past it lol
Luna? Are you lost, girl?!
😂😂
not the barbara manatee veggie tales reference 😆
😂😂 Christian kids!
The dialogue is top tier😭😭
i remember watching this film yeeaars ago when i was either in the closet or newly out and found it on netflix and i didnt realise how bad the wording was LMAO; such a good film though, i love it:')
2:18 OMG IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO REALIZE THATS THE ACTRESS THAT PLAYS LUNA LOVEGOOD! LUNA LOVEGOOD IS AN ALLY THOUGH!
😂
6:24 -caught by wait is that JOJO yup that is JOJO THE SINGER 😂
I have seen this video a few times and no one ever mentions how Benji is Rizzo’s GBF
Rizzo is fawcett
This movie has a special place in my heart, it’s so funny. It was on Netflix before streaming was popular.
im so glad im not the only one who loved this movie… I dont know anyone whos watched it but it was an instant classic in my eyes
i want to add that this cast was surprisingly stacked considering its not from a major motion company
i definitely watched brokeback mountain with my mom so…. kinda losing it at 17:21
The gaslighting 😂
😂😂😂
It crazy, in Korean award shows K-pop idols look so ethereal ✨ but here it’s not the same vibe and they don’t really standout
16:43 that dress looks good on Rizzo😂😂
😂😂 we said the same thing
Thank you for supporting the strike!
As a SAG dancer it has not been easy or fun but we really do appreciate the support from everybody. It’s louder than you think 🫶🏾
❤️❤️❤️
I love this movie... It's camp but still has heart. Sort of reminds me of But I'm a Cheerleader, which is hilarious since Natasha Leone was the lead in that
Yes!! Haha
This film is hilarious. And I enjoy the characters too. I got really invested when I first watched it lol
“What are you doing in front of my house?” Just found out that meme came from this movie. I was freaking out lol
Idk why I put this one off for so long but this was hilarious 🤣 Between Benji trying to keep the "surprise" a secret 13:25, to 20:07 where Rizzo GENUINELY losing track and almost missing the kiss SINGING FREAKING VEGGIE TALES?! 😭😭😭 I need my friend I introduced to y'all to see this immediately LMAO
OH OH! 11:13 "this is an A and GAY conversation", he's gay and she's (allegedly) "A" in Pretty Little Liars? Do you think that was intentional or just a funny coincidink?? 👀👀👀
😂😂😂 glad you enjoyed it
Singing a veggie tales song distractedly as two boys are about to kiss 😂 the best thing ive seen in a while
😂😂
oh this was so much fun, thanks for sharing Benji!!
My pleasure!!
Some horror movies I NEED you guys to watch are Urban Legend, Kristy, The Fly, The Descent, a nightmare on elm street( the first movie and part 3), and Wes Cravens New Nightmare
Sasha Pieterson is so good at playing a mean girl just look at Alison from pretty Little liars
She definitely found her niche lol
This movie is officially on my watchlist now ❤
Good 😊
I have watched this reaction so many times now, your reaction to this + the film itself is so good. I can't wait to see similar reactions!
Speaking of reactions, I just watched Cabin in the Woods today so I finally got that one short clip you edited in. Wonder if you ever plan to watch it on this or the other channel? It's so similar to Evil Dead Rising, which you have reacted to before.
Thank you!!
Also, we absolutely love cabin in the woods and will watch it at some point for sure I just don’t know when
I watched this movie ages ago and forgot how much I loved it! It’s got a great cast too!
Still surprisingly good lol
yes the puns were the kweens of the film. sigh SO GOOD
This might be my favorite reaction of y'all's so far! So much fun! I was just telling my friend about this movie last week. Also, love the support of the strike

Thank you!
american flag? thats wonder woman's undies as a jacket. blue sky with white stars
😂😂 true!
This movie is so damn good. I remember watching it in the tumblr days 😂 feel so old saying that but this movie is iconic 💖🌸
ah I have missed the classic "called it" with the phone and everything
😁😁
You guys make me wish I liked this movie lol Glad you guys enjoyed it tho!
😂
I’ve had the five second clip of the mean girls mashup in my head all day and I fully blame you guys. Literally came back here to inform you after my coworkers heard me singing it at work 🤦🏻♀️ SMH
😂😂
Sorry, I know it’s catchy
The trapped in the closet reference 😂 and the South Park reference back to back is too much
After watching I this I googled the cast and found the MTV show Faking It. I love it
I’m gonna have to check it out
All three seasons are on Prime with ads @@PinkPopcast
How did I miss this movie?
Had a blast with you guys ✨
Your dynamic with the 'called it' was hilarious 😆
🤳
😁😁
i have never laughed this hard from a reaction before and im only 14 minutes in lol. keep up the great work
😂😂 thank you!
Well it’s over right? I can’t wait for you guys watch my gay prince movie I loved it so much. You will have great reactions I’m sure
Writers are done, still waiting for the Sag strike 🥲
Thanks for reviewing these movies, I would never even know some of them exist. But your reviews are hilarious and because of you two, I don’t have to actually watch some of those flicks. Although, I’ll search this one out. Too funny, thanks. Took me a second to recognize Megan Mullally without her “Will and Grace” makeup and coif.
This movie is amazing!!! I remember watching it back when it was released on Netflix and loving ir, it gives me mean girls 2 vibes
Better though loll
I honestly fucking love this movie. LMAO
Never seen this before but really enjoyed it. Also recognizing quite a lot of the actors was unexpected but cool.
I love this movie so much! Homosexiness is my new identifier🤣💀
🙌🙌
I remember watching this movie super young & loving it & the story!
I’ve never seen this but i think my favorite gay movie has to be The Birdcage with Robin williams and Dianne Weist❤❤❤ i’d LOVE to see y’all react to it!
