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 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!
