The Queer Quadrant
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.

Johnny Guitar with Mitchell Beaupre

The Queer Quadrant
Jordan and Brooke are joined by Letterboxd senior editor Mitchell Beaupre (The Letterboxd Show) for Nicholas Ray's unconventional 1954 Western. We get to talk about icon/legend/notorious hater Joan Crawford, Nicholas Ray's frankly crazy life, an epic Southwest witch hunt, women in PANTS, and how this is definitely a film for the enbys.
