The Queer Quadrant The Queer Quadrant

- 電視與電影
Four-quadrant films are movies designed to appeal to the biggest, widest audience possible. In the process, they can often leave out a lot of LGBTQ+ representation – but end up loaded with subtext. In The Queer Quadrant, hosts Brooke Solomon and Jordan Gustafson examine cinema in all its cultural contexts, and explore why your favorite four-quadrant blockbuster is maybe…not as straight as you think it is.

Tombstone with Phil Tice
Jordan and Brooke are joined by author & writer Phil Tice for 1993's sincere take on the Western epics. Phil goes deep and analyzes Doc and Wyatt's incredibly intimate conversations, Brooke laments the terribly underwritten women of this film, and Jordan marvels at the fact that two podcasters could get this excited about gunslinging.

Hairspray (2007) with Ella Kemp
Jordan and Brooke are joined by Ella Kemp (Letterboxd) for 2007's sock-hoppin' musical featuring - gasp - actual sets?! We talk some inspired (and some uninspired) casting choices, the legacy of John Waters, all things camp, drag, JAMES EFFING MARSDEN, and Zac Efron's one perfect curl.

Bringing Up Baby with Mia Lee Vicino
Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Mia Lee Vicino (Letterboxd, Best in Show) for 1938's delightful romp, known as a box office flop and the "feral stepchild" of screwball comedies. We finally get to discuss David Canfield's amazing article on Cary Grant & Randolph Scott's life, thirst over noted badass Katharine Hepburn, marvel at how insane it is to combine these practical effects with such snappy writing, and express major fashion and gender envy over Cary Grant in a fluffy dressing gown.

Carrie (1976) with Cass Clarke
Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer & podcaster Cass Clarke (Horror Hangover) for 1976's iconic and powerful film, the prom royalty of teen horror. We talk bitch-ass high schoolers, Carrie being punished via a literal closet, historically sexy art of St. Sebastian, the abject horror of womanhood, how we really need to nominate more horror at the Oscars, and getting cathartic, bloody REVENGE!!

Everything Everywhere All at Once with Yutaka Tamanaha & Liam Boyack
Join Jordan, Brooke, and special guests Liam Boyack and Yutaka Tamanaha (The Horror Hour) just in time for awards season, as we dive into 2023's zany Oscar juggernaut that nobody could escape. We think this movie is great! We are thrilled by the awards it won! We love the dildos and the scrappy production and the cast and the costumes! We, do, however, have some questions about the butt plug stuff. Plus, a bonus mini therapy session as we unpack generational trauma, the need for mainstream representation, and disappointing our parents.

Join us for a state of the union on late 00s queer rep (TL;DR – there are way too many straight white people), Taylor's Swift rocky acting career, Jordan's enduring love for Bradley Cooper, Brooke's enduring love for Anne Hathaway, and a bite-sized review of the new Mean Girls movie.
