Over the weekend, my wife and I randomly put on ‘America’s Sweethearts’ on Netflix - the docuseries about the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad. I was so conflicted watching it. The team are so incredibly talented and hard-working. It’s such a physically demanding job and it’s so great seeing them make the team and achieve greatness as it goes on, BUT it’s such a toxic and cult-like environment and they are severely underpaid. Some of the attitudes from creepy dudes towards them made my skin crawl as well.
Overall, we put it on as a background show initially and became hooked on it. Finished it in one weekend.
Good to know. I saw this on my queue as well but haven’t tapped into it. I know a former Chiefs cheerleader - worked with her and she is incredible. Lots of mad respect for the rigor of the work but i can imagine a fairly misogynistic environment
I need to watch “Treasure” and I think I told you it’s in limited release here so not sure how and when but I’m determined after reading your review! Also, I can’t wait to watch the rest of the “Lady Jane” series!!
We are adding MORE amazing things to the To Be Watched list over here! Feels like Land of Women is just begging for a wine pairing…
Totally!! 💯

We should watch A Real Pain and talk about it’
YES! This was the film I saw compared to "Treasure" in one of the reviews I read but the writer said this one was the winner.
Oooh
Since I can't get the series "Under the Bridge" yet, I borrowed the book. Just finishing up a Tom Cox book first.
I bet you the book by Godfrey is incredible.
Will report back.
