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.

  • Great place to find films to watch

    I love it when they talk about a movie I’ve seen but also half the time it’s one I haven’t, I end up going and watching it. I now own Birds of Prey and have watched it multiple times and started making breakfast sandwiches!

  • Good but could use more structure

    Just listened to the Challengers episode and I enjoyed it but was waiting for some structure or organization to kick in. There were a few times when they brought up a specific scene and someone said “we’ll get to that later” and they never do! It’s more stream-of-consciousness/tangent style, which is still entertaining, but I was hoping for a more scene-specific analytical discussion. I would recommend categories like favorite scenes, nitpicks, etc, for future episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Capote with Fran Hoepfner
Q: How does Hoffman's performance influence your perception of Capote as a real historical figure?
Hoffman's measured, interiorized portrayal anchors the film, making Capote feel like a complicated human being rather than a one-note queer antagonist or genius. It blends admiration with critique, allowing the audience to see both the talent and the moral ambiguities without tipping into sensationalism.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with Emma Logsdon
Q: Where did your relationship with this movie begin?
I was pretty involved in the Inception fandom, and I saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy during watch parties for Inceptiversary Month every July.
A Simple Favor
Q: What is the significance of what makes a film a queer film?
It can contain queer elements such as characters, themes, and subtext, but can also be interpreted differently based on individual perspectives.
Bringing Up Baby with Mia Lee Vicino
Q: Mia, when did you first see Bringing Up Baby?
I first saw it on August 1st, 2019, during college when I was beginning to learn about classic cinema.
Little Shop of Horrors with Kenny Neibart
Q: What are your favorite songs from Little Shop of Horrors?
The favorite songs include Skid Row, Somewhere That's Green, and the Dentist song.
