    Morocco with Morgan M Page

    20/03/2026 | 1h 36 mins.
    Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer, historian, and filmmaker Morgan M Page for this iconic Josef von Sternberg flick from 1930, which introduced bisexual icon Marlene Dietrich to Hollywood audiences. We discuss the infamous "sewing circle" of sapphic starlets popularized by Dietrich, a multitude of affairs, one era-defining on-screen lesbian kiss, lethal top energy, running into the desert for love, and, of course, Jojo Siwa.

    Jordan and Brooke travel with culture critic and writer Bobbi Miller (Culture Kitsch) to the mystical and problematic land of Agrabah (aka Brooke's homeland).

    Hamilton with Alison Sivitz

    06/02/2026 | 1h 51 mins.
    Lib out with us and Alison Sivitz (the ever iconic Bald Ann Dowd) as we discuss Obama-era hopecore, being obsessed with your generational hater, actual historic love letters between Hamilton and his pal Laurens, and if we were too mean online to Lin-Manual Miranda. Also, Brooke scars everyone with her knowledge of the Hamilton fandom.

    This Means War with Emma Stefansky

    23/01/2026 | 1h 55 mins.
    Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer Emma Stefansky for a treatise on all love triangles. Why doesn't everybody throuple? What is a throuple, thematically? Can 2012 Tom Hardy call us, please?? Plus, the film's 15+ years in development, exactly what kind of spies we're meant to be seeing here, violations of privacy justified by the Patriot Act, and McG's auteur streak.

About The Queer Quadrant

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.
