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.

The Queer Quadrant
Jordan and Brooke close out the year with Chris Columbus's unconventional holiday movie about the supposed power of collective action...or maybe just a toxic friend group! We go through which characters have been terrible people since the musical premiered, Jonathan Larson's catchy tunes and personal writing journey, the stereotypes of cheating bisexuals and tragic drag queens (eek), and our favorite questionable "La Vie Bohème" lyrics.
