Wild Things with Cass Clarke

Jordan and Brooke are joined by podcaster and writer Cass Clarke (SlashFilm, Marvel) to discuss 1996's twistiest movie and another great addition to the "be gay do crime" genre. Is this actually a very progressive film, or just enjoyable sexy schlock, or maybe a bit of both? Who on Earth was this film marketed to? Is the entire main cast actually playing queer and was that intentional?! And most importantly, how is Kevin Bacon such a stone-cold hottie?Follow us on Twitter!

Whip It with Natalie Torres

Jordan and Brooke are joined by screenwriter Nat Torres ("Our Flag Means Death") for a delightful throwback movie, helmed by none other than director Drew Barrymore! We discuss the need for a roller-blading cinematic renaissance, one of Elliot Page's best and maybe queerest roles (confirmed by Drew Gregory), the wide world of Texas-set films, and how we'd all secretly like Juliette Lewis to shove us in a locker.Follow us on Twitter!

Sucker Punch with Roxana Hadadi

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Roxana Hadadi (Vulture) to discuss yet another entry into the greater Snyder-verse! This one is complete with video game logic, one of the most interesting ensemble casts of the 2010s, the constant "depiction vs. endorsement" debate, and one perfect Bjork needle drop.Follow us on Twitter!

F9 with Cate Young

Jordan and Brooke are joined by returning guest Cate Young (Thirty, Flirty + Film) to close out our epic summer series on "Q Fast Q Furious." Brooke reveals she teared up when Roman & Tej went to space, Cate pitches an all-female spin-off as the franchise's next entry (yes please), and Jordan for once does not invoke Tom Cruise! Plus our final Fast X predictions, some bonus franchise rankings, and a touching parting gift from Jordan.Follow us on Twitter!

J. Edgar

Jordan and Brooke kick it solo this week for an absolute must-cover, hotly anticipated film...Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar," obviously. We talk the disastrous old age makeup, Dustin Lance Black's writing career, the bad gays of American history, Leo's very questionable accent work, and the field day Hoover would've had with Twitter.Follow us on Twitter!

Hobbs & Shaw with Caitlin Durante

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Caitlin Durante (The Bechdel Cast) for this hyper masc F&F spinoff. Listen along for a detailed breakdown of how queer subtext became so popular in blockbuster film canon – from the Hays code to 80s buddy comedies – alongside a discussion of David Leitch's action chops, the need to have your famous friends tell you how cool you are onscreen, why Hobbs & Shaw really should have kissed by now, and the analytics of getting "pussy slammed."Follow us on Twitter!

Death Becomes Her with Lillian Crawford

Jordan and Brooke are joined by entertainment writer Lillian Crawford for Robert Zemeckis's 1992 horror/drama/comedy/camp masterpiece. We talk all things VFX and where Zemeckis fits in, Hollywood's current ironic obsession with de-aging technology, what "traditional femininity" means to society, the drag-focused and queer reclamations of this film, and Meryl Streep's incredible line delivery of "flaaaaacid."Follow us on Twitter!

The Fate of the Furious with Ben From Canada

Jordan and Brooke are joined by filmmaker and actor Ben Chinapen for a shaky entry in the Fast family canon (but high-key the best Hobbs & Shaw movie lol). We debate whether this film is actually kind of underrated, the buzzzzz that Dwayne Johnson redirecting a tank with his bare hands gives us, Dom missing his main man Brian, Hobbs falling for his main man Shaw, and – most importantly – what a Fast & Furious Muppets version looks like.Follow us on Twitter!

Basic Instinct with Brianna Zigler

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by entertainment writer Brianna Zigler (Paste Magazine) to discuss Paul Verhoeven's 1992 iconic erotic thriller. This movie has everything: extremely valid controveries, extremely ludicrous controversies, the line "magna cum laude pussy," three (3!) queer lead characters, and Michael Douglas wearing a v-neck sweater to the club. Plus, our takes on the modern state of erotic thrillers, the power of on-screen sexuality, and how bady we'd like a Sharon Stone renaissance.Follow us on Twitter!

Furious 7 with Emma Stefansky

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer Emma Stefansky for this bittersweet entry in the Fast franchise that made us all cry like babies. But there's Dwayne Johnson flexing out of a cast to make up for it. We talk James Wan's box office bonafides, the incredible Dubai "dress transition" (you know the one), fighting with your car as an extension of yourself, and the series' wonderful send-off to Paul Walker. Plus, once again, Jordan proposes including Tom Cruise in this franchise by any means necessary.Follow us on Twitter!
