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.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer Kyle Turner for William Friedkin's early foray into directing with a definitive gay classic! We discuss the creation of Mart Crowley's acclaimed and radical play, the theater revival and subsequent Ryan Murphy remake, which exes we'd call in a twisted game of telephone, and Michael's absolutely awful vibes.

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by film and TV professor Kyle Stevens for Mike Nichols' 1996 masterpiece. Is this the best ratio of jokes per minute ever put to screen?

Send us a Text Message. Based off a conversation around one of Lee’s favorite bands, R.E.M., they were one of the biggest bands in the world in the early 90s-fast forward to today and it seems they’ve all but been erased.
