Death of a Cheerleader: Cut Cucumbers, Cut People

December 4, 2025·1h 36m
Episode Description from the Publisher

On this episode, the brothers break down the Lifetime classic Death of a Cheerleader, a movie that turns high-school insecurity, Catholic guilt, and one truly awful cheer tryout into a full-blown murder tale. From Kelly Martin actually delivering a great performance to Tori Spelling playing the most believable mean girl imaginable, the movie somehow makes you feel bad for the killer and annoyed at the victim—and we have some things to say about that.As we sit on the pink couch with mismatched coffee cups, Matt admits he’s now addicted to Lifetime movies, Brett questions why anyone would cut cucumbers in a car, and Brandon tries to make sense of larks, larking, and whatever larking is supposed to accomplish. We also wander into side debates about Hallmark hunks, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Stranger Things neck thickness, and why this film plays like it was directed by someone who watched Pulp Fiction once and took the wrong notes. Somehow we even fit in a coach's 9/11 speech.
