Description

Jordan and Brooke return to the semi-cursed land of Christmas rom-coms for this 2005 curio. It's part romance, part screwball comedy, part cancer drama (yes, really), with some very well-drawn gay characters and a truly deranged SJP performance. Plus they cover hits and misses of past AARP Movies for Grown-Ups Awards, how Rachel McAdams is somehow *still* underrated, when to avoid politics at the dinner table, and why we should all "LOVE THE GAYS!!!"Follow us on Twitter! (And Jordan's Letterboxd / Brooke's Letterboxd)

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.
