Description

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Vanity Fair's David Canfield (Little Gold Men) for the film that launched Cary Grant into super stardom. We discuss Cary Grant's contentious personal life filled with gay rumors, our favorite sneaky ways around the Hays Code, the joy of screwball comedies and their subversive gender roles, a pitch perfect Irene Dunne performance, and Mr. Smith – a very good boy.Follow us on Twitter and IG!

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.
