We are joined by writer & podcaster Louis Peitzman (Supporting Actresses) for YA dystopia...but with boys! We talk King adaptations, the "slow apocalypse" of this movie, super subtle military propoganda, looking at a rainbow with your best bro, and, of course, Judy Greer.

May 29 RocknRolla with Emma Logsdon
We are rejoined by editor Emma Logsdon for Guy Ritchie's slick little movie about the details of London real estate – fascinating. We talk Tom Hardy's turn as Handsome Bob, one lovely mid-credits scene, the homoerotic Ritchie playbook, a lengthy fanfiction tangent (sorry...), and the rise of the non-binary Emmas in Hollywood.

May 15 The Devil Wears Prada 2
Gird your loins! For this delightful sequel, we return to the hallowed halls of Runway, which have gone...digital? Andy still craves validation (who doesn't), Emily has gone full vendor, Miranda is in tassels, and Nigel still doesn't have an on-screen husband. LADY GAGA THOUGH!

May 01 Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby with Michael Doshier
We are joined by filmmaker Michael Doshier (THROUPLE) for some good ol' American sports. We talk about baby Jesus, the church of Applebee's, giving up on your loser father, gay horses, laser-sharp comedy editing, and the loss of the MTV Movie Awards.

April 17 Yentl with Rendy Jones
Jordan and Brooke are joined by journalist Rendy Jones (rendyreviews.com) for Queen Barbra's directorial debut. Join us for the relationship between knowledge and gender, falling in love with Amy Irving (who among us hasn't), musical monologues, and being surprised just how sexy this movie is. We love Yentl!

April 03 Capote with Fran Hoepfner
Jordan and Brooke are rejoined for the fifth (!!!!) time by the wonderful Fran Hoepfner (Vulture) for Bennett Miller's impressive 2005 debut. We talk the Hoffman Oscar (deserved), the oh-so-twisted world of true crime and Capote's place in it, and balancing the eerie and the sensationalist. And social media algorithms. And Charlie Kaufman. And "Is This Thing On." And ABC's Lost.

March 20 Morocco with Morgan M Page
Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer, historian, and filmmaker Morgan M Page for this iconic Josef von Sternberg flick from 1930, which introduced bisexual icon Marlene Dietrich to Hollywood audiences. We discuss the infamous "sewing circle" of sapphic starlets popularized by Dietrich, a multitude of affairs, one era-defining on-screen lesbian kiss, lethal top energy, running into the desert for love, and, of course, Jojo Siwa.

March 06 The 2025 QQ Qualifiers
It's the fourth annual QQ Qualifier Awards – aka the Quallies! In advance of the Oscars, Jordan and Brooke award the coveted "Rainbow Prism" to their favorite performances/movies of the 2025 cinematic year, along with a healthy dose of subjective criticism, Brooke slacking on viewing stats, and Jordan's "chaos picks" for new awards.

February 20 Aladdin with Bobbi Miller
Jordan and Brooke travel with culture critic and writer Bobbi Miller (Culture Kitsch) to the mystical and problematic land of Agrabah (aka Brooke's homeland). We discuss the Aladdin soundtrack, place Jafar on our gay villains ranking, get deep on Disney politicking, and try out our best Robin Williams impressions.

February 06 Hamilton with Alison Sivitz
Lib out with us and Alison Sivitz (the ever iconic Bald Ann Dowd) as we discuss Obama-era hopecore, being obsessed with your generational hater, actual historic love letters between Hamilton and his pal Laurens, and if we were too mean online to Lin-Manual Miranda. Also, Brooke scars everyone with her knowledge of the Hamilton fandom.
