The Queer Quadrant

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by filmmaker Carly Usdin for another trip to our favorite queer space – Gotham City! Despite its rep as a film that got kneecapped by the pandemic and some good ol' studio sexism, this Cathy Yan bop kinda has it all! We gush over Margot's committed performance, the canon of "kickass ladies" cinema (the highs and the very, very lows), how there really isn't a single straight person in this story, and how badly we want live-action Harlivy (watch the animated series – seriously).

Jordan and Brooke hitch a ride to Vegas with writer Louis Peitzman for another wonderful entry in the Paul Verhoeven canon of horny queer cinema! We thrust it to the beat of a deeply misunderstood lead performance, the legitimacy of of "cult classic" status, commodifying the male gaze for your own sapphic tendencies, and how there is not one normal conversation in this whole movie (complimentary).

Jordan and Brooke are joined by TV critic Caroline Framke to talk Paul Feig's seminal 2011 comedy, including masterful levels of improv, the "shocker genre" of female-led raunchy comedies, the wedding industrial complex, and how Annie and Helen should really just run off together.

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Caitlin Durante (The Bechdel Cast) for a simple Shrek-tastic visit to Duloc. Along with a healthy dose of memes, we break down the "edgy" anti-Disney sentiment, marginalized fairytale creatures, Lord Farquaad's casual ethnic cleansing, how inescapable to the culture this was, and if this film is actually quite queer!

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer/producer Kenny Neibart for another movie musical – this one very near and dear to our hearts. For Frank Oz's 1986 film, we discuss gender performance, stage to screen changes, advanced puppetry, Howard Ashman's incredible pen, and – you knew it was coming – the Muppets.
