Description

Jordan and Brooke kick it solo this week for an absolute must-cover, hotly anticipated film...Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar," obviously. We talk the disastrous old age makeup, Dustin Lance Black's writing career, the bad gays of American history, Leo's very questionable accent work, and the field day Hoover would've had with Twitter.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.
