The Queer Quadrant

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by entertainment writer Brianna Zigler (Paste Magazine) to discuss Paul Verhoeven's 1992 iconic erotic thriller. This movie has everything: extremely valid controveries, extremely ludicrous controversies, the line "magna cum laude pussy," three (3!) queer lead characters, and Michael Douglas wearing a v-neck sweater to the club. Plus, our takes on the modern state of erotic thrillers, the power of on-screen sexuality, and how bady we'd like a Sharon Stone renaissance.

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer Emma Stefansky for this bittersweet entry in the Fast franchise that made us all cry like babies. But there's Dwayne Johnson flexing out of a cast to make up for it. We talk James Wan's box office bonafides, the incredible Dubai "dress transition" (you know the one), fighting with your car as an extension of yourself, and the series' wonderful send-off to Paul Walker. Plus, once again, Jordan proposes including Tom Cruise in this franchise by any means necessary.

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Fran Hoepfner (Gawker, Fran Magazine) for Matthew Vaughn's whimsical 2007 fantasy adventure. There's an all-time Robert De Niro performance, a lot of discussions on British-leaning genre cinema, and not that much titular stardust. But Fran reflects on her high school viewing of this film and convinces everyone to watch "Peaky Blinders," Jordan praises the campy excellence that is Michelle Pfeiffer, and Brooke yet again professes her love for gay pirates (these ones harvest lightning!).

Jordan and Brooke are joined by entertainment writer Logan Kenny for the Fast Family's trip to London. Various questions include – is this a secret X-Men movie? What action moments in this define "sicko mode?" What's the best celebrity alcohol brand? Does Logan have the only defensible take on "The Rise of Skywalker?" And did the final plane sequence in this movie actually steal the idea from "Toy Story 2?"

On the weekend of its release, Jordan and Brooke blast some lightning-fast takes into Taika Waititi's latest Marvel entry. Where is King Valkyrie's promised queen? How is Christian Bale the MVP of this movie? Where does Thor go from here? What is going on with the sludge-y state of blockbuster cinema and how can we stop it?! But...that Abba needle drop tho.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by filmmaker and returning guest Patrick Willems to discuss the F&F fan favorite (in another monster sized episode, of course) – which just proves that all franchises should have a "heist" entry. The squad discuss what happened to the Rock's sweat levels over time, if we can talk Tom Cruise into a Mission: Impossible crossover, the great F&F timeline rejigger, practical effects that include dragging a real-life safe through city streets, and the fact that Jordan actually watched the 2001 film "Swordfish."

Jordan and Brooke celebrate 100 whole entire episodes of the show!! And what better way to do it than with a movie that's arguably the queerest Marvel entry, Brooke's coming out film (don't ask), and peak blockbuster representation for chaotic gays everywhere?! We discuss the value (or lack thereof) of queer content in places like the MCU, Chris Hemsworth's comedy chops, Tessa Thompson's arm workout routine, bonus "Our Flag Means Death" content, and what qualifies as "retainer snapping" levels of horniness.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by the great Matt Singer (ScreenCrush) to discuss Lin's 2009 "getting the gang back together" film. Aside from all the cars and homoeroticism, we chat Dom's incredible accident reconstruction vision, an excess of generic garages, SNL's "The Fast and the Bi-curious," and an always-elite enemies to lovers narrative.
