The Queer Quadrant is a podcast hosted by Brooke Solomon and Jordan Gustafson that examines four-quadrant films—movies designed to appeal to the widest possible audience—through an LGBTQ+ lens. The hosts explore how these blockbusters often lack explicit queer representation but are loaded with subtext, arguing that your favorite mainstream movie might not be as straight as you think. Each episode delves into the cultural contexts of cinema, uncovering hidden queer narratives in popular films.
