Description

It's a mega-sized ep for a mega-sized movie as Jordan and Brooke are joined by filmmaker Patrick Willems to discuss Michael Mann's 1995 cops and robbers epic. There's a deep bench of character actors, a thesis on the aching loneliness of LA, and an argument that this movie is secretly a gay rom-com (Letterboxd agrees). Plus tangents on everything from Shane Black vehicles, to camera equipment tech talk, to the 2001 film "Swordfish".Follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/QueerQuadrant  Follow Patrick! https://youtube.com/patrickhwillems // https://twitter.com/patrickhwillems Find more info and donations for the Los Angeles LGBT Center here: https://lalgbtcenter.org/

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.
