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.

My Favorite Wife with Abby Monteil

The Queer Quadrant
Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer Abby Monteil for this 1940 screwball about your wife coming back from the dead on the same day you marry someone new. Super relatable! We dive (once again) into David Canfield's VF article on the co-stars of this picture Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, the film's unique blend of comedy and melancholy, getting hot and bothered over your romantic rival (very heterosexual), and Cary Grant in another fabulous dressing gown.
