Description

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by entertainment writer Brianna Zigler (Paste Magazine) to discuss Paul Verhoeven's 1992 iconic erotic thriller. This movie has everything: extremely valid controveries, extremely ludicrous controversies, the line "magna cum laude pussy," three (3!) queer lead characters, and Michael Douglas wearing a v-neck sweater to the club. Plus, our takes on the modern state of erotic thrillers, the power of on-screen sexuality, and how bady we'd like a Sharon Stone renaissance.Follow us on Twitter!

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.
