The Queer Quadrant – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by film & culture writer Lillian Crawford for 2002's sad and lovely ode to the interiority of women's lives. We talk awards-y lesbianism, the enduring impact of Virgina Woolf's brilliant writing, Philip Glass's divisive score, the ins and outs of this movie's intense Oscar campaign (courtesy of David Canfield), and being DEPRESSED and GAY and BUYING THE FLOWERS YOURSELF.

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by film critic Laura Venning for this harrowing drama where the corruption – gasp – goes all the way to the top. We discuss shirtless Kurt Russell chopping wood (good), Meryl's mullet (good), Cher saying the word "dyke" in a Southern accent (GOOD), and our favorite pro-union films. Plus the messed up things that happen in blue-collar America and why Nora Ephron really is the best to ever do it!

Jordan and Brooke go over the rainbow for this 1939 classic that changed filmmaking forever, and may or may not have inspired the modern day pride flag! We rank every main character by canonical queerness (shoutout high femme lesbian Glinda truthers), discuss the very inclusive Oz books, ignore all other movie spin-offs (Wicked, you're on thin ice...), and get a bit emotional about how much this move means both to us and to the gay community.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer and professor Kyle Stevens for Hitchcock's underseen thriller. They dive into the incredibly queer text and subtext that got this movie literally banned from US theaters, Hitchcock's impeccable use of camera, choreography, and color, how much we all love characters getting turned on by crime.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by returning guest and friend of the pod Wyatt Muma for the film to end all films...2019's "Cats!" How do we deal with how this film captivated the nation (and maybe ended the world)? Why are there (gasp) certain queer plotlines in the stage version that weren't included? And could there ever truly have been a good live action version of this thing?

Jordan and Brooke are joined by filmmaker and writer Drew Gregory for 1955's utterly iconic teen flick. They do a deep dive into this film's long history with the queer community on and off camera, draw some timely "Euphoria" parallels, and Drew explains why James Dean is her style icon (as he should be).

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe (Kill By Kill) for a double feature on the 1942 and 1982 versions of this female-themed horror. How has sexuality on-screen (aka horniness) evolved between the decades? How did queer tones of the original get to be there in the first place? What drew the ever-entertaining Paul Schrader to this erotic remake? And...was this the original inspiration for Animorphs?

Jordan and Brooke are joined by YouTuber and writer Maggie Mae Fish to discuss 1963's classic epic in all its homoerotic glory. The gang canonizes this as a tragic romance, expresses their deep love for Omar Sharif (rightfully so), examine the casting choices of this and recent desert film "Dune," and wax poetic about score, cinematography, and David Lean's directorial prowess.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by returning guest and comedian Avery Edison for a very special episode – our first indie film! Our Wachowskis month just wouldn't feel complete without a discussion on the sex, crime, cinematography and pacing of one of our best neo-noirs. Listen in as Jordan praises a young Christopher Meloni, Brooke unsurprisingly thirsts over Gina Gershon, and Avery absolutely bodies a Jennifer Tilly impression. Plus, an essential series of promos for "No Kidding? Me Too!"

Jordan and Brooke return to the source with Lana Wachowski's brand new solo outing. They discuss their love for this story, what this film looks like as a post-transition allegory, the casting delights of Jonathan Groff and Neil Patrick Harris, how much it sucks to be online sometimes, and the evolving need for self care (in the cinema way and the personal way!).
