Description

Jordan and Brooke are joined by guest Derek Aiello to discuss 2004's sword and sandals epic that has the AUDACITY to make Achilles straight. They talk swordfights, bad dye jobs, recent romantic interpretations of the Iliad, and glaring historical inaccuracies – along with favorite Greek heroes, love for the short-lived series "Young Hercules," and an ill-advised Trojan Horse bit.Follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/QueerQuadrant Follow Derek! https://twitter.com/derekaiello // https://letterboxd.com/derekaiello

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.
