We discuss how Peyton Reed's underseen classic is a takedown of patriarchal gender roles, the unexpected lavender marriage it sets up, "Know" vs. "Now," and how our best comedies can be both funny and insightful – what a concept!

March 10, 2023 Luca with Zoë Rose Bryant
Jordan and Brooke are joined by film critic Zoë Rose Bryant for the delightful hangout vibes of 2021's "Luca." We discuss how this movie was fated to be gay from the get-go, thoughts on the evolution of Pixar, casual romance in family films, and how much we'd love to see movies like this on the big screen. Bonus: some very questionable Italian accents!

February 24, 2023 Magic Mike's Last Dance with Fran Hoepfner
Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by fellow Channing Tatum enthusiast Fran Hoepfner for Mike Lane's "final tease." How does this film stack up to the magic of XXL? Are we in a new era of chill Soderbergh? How delightfully unhinged is Salma Hayek in this? And how the HELL does Channing Tatum manage to do all of that?

January 27, 2023 Titanic with The Bechdel Cast
Jordan and Brooke are joined by Caitlin Durante and Jamie Loftus (The Bechdel Cast) to discuss the biggest and best blockbuster of them all. Jimmy C's 1997 epic is one of the greatest love story ever told – but is it also secretly queer? We dive into filmmaker Celine Sciamma's love for this film's freeing subtext, Leo's androgynous look that awakened us all, Rose defying gender norms, Cal's campy villain performance, and gay icon Kathy Bates (aka the Unsinkable Molly Brown).

January 13, 2023 Professor Marston and the Wonder Women with Rachel LaBonte
Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by entertainment critic Rachel LaBonte (ScreenRant) to discuss Angela Robinson's criminally underseen film.
