Stardust with Fran Hoepfner

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Fran Hoepfner (Gawker, Fran Magazine) for Matthew Vaughn's whimsical 2007 fantasy adventure. There's an all-time Robert De Niro performance, a lot of discussions on British-leaning genre cinema, and not that much titular stardust. But Fran reflects on her high school viewing of this film and convinces everyone to watch "Peaky Blinders," Jordan praises the campy excellence that is Michelle Pfeiffer, and Brooke yet again professes her love for gay pirates (these ones harvest lightning!).Follow us on Twitter!

Fast & Furious 6 with Logan Kenny

Jordan and Brooke are joined by entertainment writer Logan Kenny for the Fast Family's trip to London. Various questions include – is this a secret X-Men movie? What action moments in this define "sicko mode?" What's the best celebrity alcohol brand? Does Logan have the only defensible take on "The Rise of Skywalker?" And did the final plane sequence in this movie actually steal the idea from "Toy Story 2?"Follow us on Twitter! (And Jordan's Letterboxd / Brooke's Letterboxd)Follow Logan on Twitter and Substack!

Thor: Love and Thunder

On the weekend of its release, Jordan and Brooke blast some lightning-fast takes into Taika Waititi's latest Marvel entry. Where is King Valkyrie's promised queen? How is Christian Bale the MVP of this movie? Where does Thor go from here? What is going on with the sludge-y state of blockbuster cinema and how can we stop it?! But...that Abba needle drop tho.

Fast Five with Patrick Willems

Jordan and Brooke are joined by filmmaker and returning guest Patrick Willems to discuss the F&F fan favorite (in another monster sized episode, of course) – which just proves that all franchises should have a "heist" entry. The squad discuss what happened to the Rock's sweat levels over time, if we can talk Tom Cruise into a Mission: Impossible crossover, the great F&F timeline rejigger, practical effects that include dragging a real-life safe through city streets, and the fact that Jordan actually watched the 2001 film "Swordfish."Follow us on Twitter!

Thor: Ragnarok

Jordan and Brooke celebrate 100 whole entire episodes of the show!! And what better way to do it than with a movie that's arguably the queerest Marvel entry, Brooke's coming out film (don't ask), and peak blockbuster representation for chaotic gays everywhere?! We discuss the value (or lack thereof) of queer content in places like the MCU, Chris Hemsworth's comedy chops, Tessa Thompson's arm workout routine, bonus "Our Flag Means Death" content, and what qualifies as "retainer snapping" levels of horniness.Follow us on Twitter!

Fast & Furious with Matt Singer

Jordan and Brooke are joined by the great Matt Singer (ScreenCrush) to discuss Lin's 2009 "getting the gang back together" film. Aside from all the cars and homoeroticism, we chat Dom's incredible accident reconstruction vision, an excess of generic garages, SNL's "The Fast and the Bi-curious," and an always-elite enemies to lovers narrative.

Batman and Robin with Angela Ferraguto

Jordan and Brooke reunite with Angela Ferraguto for 1997's "worst comic book movie ever," aka a very colorful, fun and dynamic piece of superhero media! We talk cast & critical reception, Joel Schumacher's interpretation of the classic Batman gay subtext, Uma Thurman in a campy drag performance, HBO Max's "Harley Quinn" (obviously), and all those freeeeeeeze puns.Follow us on Twitter!

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift with William Goodman

Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer William Goodman (Complex, GQ) for the Fast franchise's first jet-setting adventure. Listen to us drag Lucas Black's performance (sorry Lucas), thirst the most we have ever thirsted over Sung Kang, drop a few too many car puns, discuss Justin Lin's anime and manga influences on the action sequences, and praise a soundtrack full of absolute bangers.

Top Gun

Jordan and Brooke fly solo (but never leave your wingman) for arguably the most homoerotic film of all time – 1986's "Top Gun!" Oiled up beach volleyball, phallic symbols, and locker room scenes abound – but just how queer is this queer classic? Did Tony Scott know what he was awakening with that volleyball scene? How do we reckon with military propaganda in our cinematic outings? And is Tom Cruise the final boss of movie stardom?Follow us on Twitter!

2 Fast 2 Furious with Drew Gregory

Jordan and Brooke are joined by returning guest Drew Gregory (Autostraddle) to discuss the frachise's Miami-est (and gayest?) entry. Come for the deep tortured backstory between Brian and his best friend/definitely ex-lover Roman, stay for jumping cars onto boats, color coordinated whips, Tyrese ripping off his shirt at opportune times, and the incredible term "hoasis."Follow us on Twitter!
