The Queer Quadrant

Jordan and Brooke are joined by friend of the pod and writer Phil Tice to discuss 1992's  lush, dramatic, slightly insane Coppola version of "Dracula!" We talk through Anthony Hopkins' gonzo performance, the film's absolutely incredible production and costume design, some iffy but adorable accent work, and the long, sexy, gay history of Bram Stoker and vampire stories.

The weekend after its release, Jordan and Brooke dive into Billy Eichner's new studio comedy. Was bad marketing the one to blame for this film's underperformance, or have the straight people taken us down once again? How soon can we get our hands on this screenplay? Who's our MVP (besides Debra Messing, obviously)? And how do we get a spot in the animatronic Hall of Bisexuals?!

Jordan and Brooke are joined by podcaster and writer Cass Clarke (SlashFilm, Marvel) to discuss 1996's twistiest movie and another great addition to the "be gay do crime" genre. Is this actually a very progressive film, or just enjoyable sexy schlock, or maybe a bit of both? Who on Earth was this film marketed to? Is the entire main cast actually playing queer and was that intentional?! And most importantly, how is Kevin Bacon such a stone-cold hottie?

Jordan and Brooke are joined by screenwriter Nat Torres ("Our Flag Means Death") for a delightful throwback movie, helmed by none other than director Drew Barrymore! We discuss the need for a roller-blading cinematic renaissance, one of Elliot Page's best and maybe queerest roles (confirmed by Drew Gregory), the wide world of Texas-set films, and how we'd all secretly like Juliette Lewis to shove us in a locker.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Roxana Hadadi (Vulture) to discuss yet another entry into the greater Snyder-verse! This one is complete with video game logic, one of the most interesting ensemble casts of the 2010s, the constant "depiction vs. endorsement" debate, and one perfect Bjork needle drop.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by returning guest Cate Young (Thirty, Flirty + Film) to close out our epic summer series on "Q Fast Q Furious." Brooke reveals she teared up when Roman & Tej went to space, Cate pitches an all-female spin-off as the franchise's next entry (yes please), and Jordan for once does not invoke Tom Cruise! Plus our final Fast X predictions, some bonus franchise rankings, and a touching parting gift from Jordan.

Jordan and Brooke kick it solo this week for an absolute must-cover, hotly anticipated film...Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar," obviously. We talk the disastrous old age makeup, Dustin Lance Black's writing career, the bad gays of American history, Leo's very questionable accent work, and the field day Hoover would've had with Twitter.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Caitlin Durante (The Bechdel Cast) for this hyper masc F&F spinoff. Listen along for a detailed breakdown of how queer subtext became so popular in blockbuster film canon – from the Hays code to 80s buddy comedies – alongside a discussion of David Leitch's action chops, the need to have your famous friends tell you how cool you are onscreen, why Hobbs & Shaw really should have kissed by now, and the analytics of getting "pussy slammed."

Jordan and Brooke are joined by entertainment writer Lillian Crawford for Robert Zemeckis's 1992 horror/drama/comedy/camp masterpiece. We talk all things VFX and where Zemeckis fits in, Hollywood's current ironic obsession with de-aging technology, what "traditional femininity" means to society, the drag-focused and queer reclamations of this film, and Meryl Streep's incredible line delivery of "flaaaaacid."

Jordan and Brooke are joined by filmmaker and actor Ben Chinapen for a shaky entry in the Fast family canon (but high-key the best Hobbs & Shaw movie lol). We debate whether this film is actually kind of underrated, the buzzzzz that Dwayne Johnson redirecting a tank with his bare hands gives us, Dom missing his main man Brian, Hobbs falling for his main man Shaw, and – most importantly – what a Fast & Furious Muppets version looks like.
