The teen cheerleading movie was a cliche of the early 2000s.The cheerleader trope was so familiar that it was lampooned in the satirical, “Not Another Teen Movie.”
Fast forward two decades to 2024: high school cheer is back in a new film.
“Backspot,” in theaters and streaming now, has all the competitive spirit, drama – and injury – you might expect.The movie also has queer romance, and two women of color as leads.
We talk about the film.
