174. Bring It On: "Meat Ranch High School".

August 12th, 2024

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bring It On: "Meat Ranch High School".

Here's an ACOFAE lore drop for you: Laura Marie ate, slept, and breathed CHEER when she was younger. No exaggeration. Laura Marie spent many summers at Cheer Camps in Florida experiencing the joy of humidity. When Bring It On came out on theaters Laura Marie was sat with her teammates, watching the thing that was LIFE being shown on screen, mostly accurately. It was very special. Fast forward to today, and the nostalgia is as high as the temperature as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie jump head first into this cheer classic that has both aged well and not well at all. Torrance is the new captain of her cheer squad and drama is a foot. Stolen routines and Nationals coming up mean that it's crunch time to figure out if the Torros have what it takes to be original and rise to the occasion or bow out and quit. New (old) rivals, The Clovers, mean business as both squads face off on the biggest stage in Cheer.

"I know you don't think a white girl made that shi* up."
