  • The Last of Sheila with Kyle Turner

    Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer Kyle Turner for a drama on the high seas featuring the gayest group imaginable – artists. We talk movies about da movies, this motley crew's real-life counterparts, building an all-too-real Hollywood persona, and who we'd kill for an invite to Sondheim & Perkins' legendary murder mystery parties.

  • Strangers on a Train with Katey Rich

    Jordan and Brooke are joined by The Ankler's Katey Rich (Prestige Junkie, Fighting in the War Room) for another entry into Homoerotic Hitchcock Summer (or whatever we're calling it). We talk Challengers, obviously – there are throuples everywhere for those with eyes to see. Also, straight directors and their accidental gay films, 50s true crime junkies, bisexual icon Farley Granger, and staying the hell away from carnival carousels.

  • Brokeback Mountain

    Sweeping romance, the West, sad men, Michelle Williams, horses...this is a Jordan and Brooke certified classic. We pod on, simply, one of the best movies ever as a five year anniversay celebration of the show. It's sad, it's meaningful, it's lovely, it's sexy. It is NOT a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation (except for the cultural homophobia and Heath Ledger leaving our screens far too soon).

  • Psycho (1998)

    This week, Jordan and Brooke discuss Gus Van Sant's 1998 homage? remake? art experiment?? of Hitchcock's classic. Is this a secret masterpiece? How different is different "enough?" What will it take for GVS to do another sad gay cowboy movie? Why was Vince Vaughn the choice here?! Plus, Jordan's long-promised recap and review of A&E's "Bates Motel."

  • The Old Guard 2

    On the week of its release, Jordan and Brooke talk this rocky sequel to 2020's actioner, including oddly dated homoeroticism, Uma Thurman with a katana, what Chiwetel Ejiofor is up to these days, catch up on the cinema of 2025, and some miscellaneous good tweets.

  • Psycho with Drew Burnett Gregory

    Jordan and Brooke crank up the suspense with filmmaker & critic Drew Gregory (Autostraddle) for one of most iconic movies ever. Period. Also - not a necessarily great legacy! We'll unpack the blocking and pacing of legendary Hitchcock kills, Anthony Perkins' complicated life and career, betting big on horror, and how artists like Drew are flipping the script on "good" representation of characters like Norman Bates.

Cry along with us and writer Phil Iscove (Podcast Like It's...) in an episode full of personal revelations, living life to the fullest, love and withholding love, connecting with your parents as adults, realizing how much fucking paperwork is involved in death, and gushing over on-screen dog star Arthur and his cute lil subtitles.

  • Bend It Like Beckham with Yamini Nambimadom

    Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer and actor Yamini Nambimadom for a trip to 2002. We're talking low-rise jeans, the Spice Girls, and lots of gay panic. But we loveeee Gurinder Chadha's earnest, sweet, VERY GAY sports film featuring footballers who will definitely explore each other's bodies in college. Plus, the plight of the Irish, bra shopping, and why Parminda Nagra should be a movie star!

  • Casino Royale with Patrick Willems

    Jordan and Brooke take a trip across the pond (and around the globe) with filmmaker Patrick Willems for the world of BOND! How kinky was the infamous torture scene supposed to be? How has Bond's masculinity shaped decades of culture? Why was everyone so mad about Daniel Craig being blonde? What will the future of "Amazon Bond" hold? And why can't we record a normal length episode?!
