The Queer Quadrant: Daily Summaries Delivered
by The Queer Quadrant
Four-quadrant films are movies designed to appeal to the biggest, widest audience possible. In the process, they can often leave out a lot of LGBTQ+ representation – but end up loaded with subtext. In The Queer Quadrant, hosts Brooke Solomon and Jordan Gustafson examine cinema in all its cultural contexts, and explore why your favorite four-quadrant blockbuster is maybe…not as straight as you think it is.

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.

And "Is This Thing On." And ABC's Lost.Follow us on Twitter, Bluesky, and IG!
