https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5764742/This doesn't really need a release, because it's perfectly freely available on youtube for everyone, on the producers' own channel, and will probably stay there. But I think it's cool enough to deserve its own thread, and that means it must meet the minimum requirents for an FLM release.
It was originally released as the first season of a series of shorts on youtube, but they then re-released it as one video that's a bit over an hour long. Watching that video, I have no idea where each of the original short episodes ends and the next one starts, so I think it's fair to call it one movie.
It doesn't have any scenes this forum would usually find "interesting", but I think it's very funny and has great characters played by good-looking young actresses.
The plot is that one of the heads of a school chess club blackmails the head of the cheerleading squad into joining the club, and she brings one other cheerleader with her. Hilarity, as they say, ensues. It's not gritty or realistic, but light-hearted and to some extent surreal.
Since I don't even know when exactly it was originally released, I have no idea about the actresses' and actors' ages. So theoretically it's possible that in the future, after additional research, a Mod will have to move it to Verified Off-Topic. But I hope not, and the cast looks fairly young to me.
My post is what I downloaded from youtube, after I passed it through a video processor.
Here it is on youtube:

[Code] Edited to add: The video is in a format so that you can only watch it once you've downloaded either all of it or, if you're doing an emule download, the last part of it. So don't worry if you can't watch the parts you've already downloaded while you're downloading it.
Here's my attempt to post it on emule:
Like this post to see ed2k links [1.05 GiB]And here is a brief conversation I had about it with pillowbaker in the Ask Me About My Shirt thread in the short films section:

I literally laughed out loudly when the guy reacted that way to the two cheerleaders walking into the club. Dude, there's a number of fairly cute girls already in your club, and each of them would probably be a better fit for you than either of those two!pillowbaker wrote: Wed Sep 17, 2025 3:42 am Here's Cheerleaders in the Chess Club. A bit more drama with this one:

And also what they did to Cindy's character at the end. There is also a direct sequel ("season 2") to this miniseries. I found it enjoyable and worth watching, but not quite as good as the first season. Its overarching title apparently is "Romance".
Since this is my first attempt at a release, please tell me if I could have done something better, Admins or Mods.ttulog wrote: Wed Sep 17, 2025 8:10 pm If you'll forgive me one more post that's a bit off topic for this thread:
Yeah, Beth's great. Early on, I liked the way Penny explains the basic rules of chess. I also like how they're all weird, but weird in clearly different ways, with their clearly distinct personalities.pillowbaker wrote: Wed Sep 17, 2025 7:21 pm Hey glad you like it.

It's just that what's left of my old first aid training kicked in and revolted when
All the other weird and borderline surreal stuff in the film is a lot of fun, but that part's just wrong.
