The Queer Quadrant: Daily Summaries Delivered
by 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.

RocknRolla with Emma Logsdon
We are rejoined by editor Emma Logsdon for Guy Ritchie's slick little movie about the details of London real estate – fascinating.

The Devil Wears Prada 2
Gird your loins! For this delightful sequel, we return to the hallowed halls of Runway, which have gone...digital?
