The Queer Quadrant

Filmmaker and artist Robin Careless gets all up into practical effects with us for this Clive Barker classic – Happy Halloween! Caution: episode includes a lot of goo, a lot of pain and pleasure, Cenobite rankings, the large variety of sequels, and a lot of wondering how good of a lay Frank really is.

Rachel LaBonte (Entertainment Weekly) is back to solve the Cuban Missile Crisis with us!

Phillip Iscove (Podcast Like It's the 2000s) rejoins for this 2000 drama that has been basically erased from existence. Madonna and Rupert Everett co-parent a child and then it goes completely awry! Characters cease to act like humans! It's a wild time. Also some talk on Benjamin Bratt (MVP), Madonna's discography, and how LAX hasn't changed since last century.

Journey to the kingdom of the Merfolk, where the Disney Renaissance began! We talk Ursula's homage to one of best-known drag queens of all time, the Hans Christian Anderson / Howard Ashman double whammy of gay yearning, the power of an "I want" song, and King Triton supporting his daughter's gender-affirming surgery.

Break out those chokers, cigarettes, and a weirdly colored filter – because we're going back to Tumblr, baby! Well, not really. Filmmaker, photographer, and assistant location manager Isabella Stephanos joins for Hayley Kiyoko's very sweet 2026 film based on the iconic 2015 music video of the same name. We talk mid-10s WLW content, translating a story to different mediums, teen summer malaise, and who this film might be for.

Be the fourth in our coven as we dive in this fashion-forward horror! Brooke tries to map these teen witches to the four elements, Jordan fears the very practical thousands of snakes used in this film, and Roxana has excellent thoughts on the 1990s guardrails for young female characters, dropped plotlines, and "Jock Skeet." Spooky!

We are rejoined by Letterboxd's own Mitchell Beaupre for another chance to torture Brooke with comedy. Suit up for a Michael Keaton career check-in (plus bisexual NYU DJ son mention), performative masculinity, McKay's ill-advised important film era, Wahlberg's physical comedy chops, and why you should always, always aim for the bushes.

We are rejoined by filmmaker Carly Usdin for this neon-soaked romp to fictional Florida. Hop on the banana boat for friendship-positive threesomes, platonic life partnership, the humor of surprise, culottes, and the magic of Edgar's Prayer.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
