HELLOOOO! Brooke and Jordan are rejoined by BJ and Harmony Colangelo (This Ends at Prom) to talk this Chris Columbus 1993 blockbuster which has aged...pretty well, actually!? There's outwardly gay supporting characters, there's a charming message about how family can look like anything, there's a nearly $500M box office take, and – oh, no, there are definitely still a few transphobic jokes. But we tackle that, 90s culture, 2020s culture, movies set in San Francisco, the loss of the family comedy, and if spin-off Broadway musicals are ever any good.

My Favorite Wife with Abby Monteil

Fri, 11 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer Abby Monteil for this 1940 screwball about your wife coming back from the dead on the same day you marry someone new. Super relatable! We dive (once again) into David Canfield's VF article on the co-stars of this picture Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, the film's unique blend of comedy and melancholy, getting hot and bothered over your romantic rival (very heterosexual), and Cary Grant in another fabulous dressing gown.

Birds of Prey with Carly Usdin

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by filmmaker Carly Usdin for another trip to our favorite queer space – Gotham City! Despite its rep as a film that got kneecapped by the pandemic and some good ol' studio sexism, this Cathy Yan bop kinda has it all! We gush over Margot's committed performance, the canon of "kickass ladies" cinema (the highs and the very, very lows), how there really isn't a single straight person in this story, and how badly we want live-action Harlivy (watch the animated series – seriously).

Showgirls with Louis Peitzman

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Jordan and Brooke hitch a ride to Vegas with writer Louis Peitzman for another wonderful entry in the Paul Verhoeven canon of horny queer cinema! We thrust it to the beat of a deeply misunderstood lead performance, the legitimacy of of "cult classic" status, commodifying the male gaze for your own sapphic tendencies, and how there is not one normal conversation in this whole movie (complimentary).

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Caitlin Durante (The Bechdel Cast) for a simple Shrek-tastic visit to Duloc. Along with a healthy dose of memes, we break down the "edgy" anti-Disney sentiment, marginalized fairytale creatures, Lord Farquaad's casual ethnic cleansing, how inescapable to the culture this was, and if this film is actually quite queer!

There is JLo in an incredible fur coat! We discuss why this movie wasn't given the awards season treatment, the very legitimate Ramona x Destiny ship, recent "Netflix-ifciation" of A-list actors, ethics of scamming Wall Street finance bros, and some Juicy Couture archive pulls.

Luca Guadagnino goes god mode with under the court shots, intense homoeroticism as always, and a real, actual, proper love triangle. We talk the club-ready Reznor & Ross score, how sex is tennis and tennis is sex, films shot but not set in Boston, messy bisexual longing, and a whole lot of phallic shaped foods.

Yorgos Lanthimos ties together a twisty triptych of lesbian power and desire...but we all know the real MVP of this movie is Horatio, the Fastest Duck in the City. If you like Rachel Weisz giving big "step on me" energy, national treasure Olivia Colman, historical memes, the rarity of triple Best Actress Oscar noms, or the word "cunt," this episode is for you!

The Family Stone

Fri, 09 Dec 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Jordan and Brooke return to the semi-cursed land of Christmas rom-coms for this 2005 curio. It's part romance, part screwball comedy, part cancer drama (yes, really), with some very well-drawn gay characters and a truly deranged SJP performance. Plus they cover hits and misses of past AARP Movies for Grown-Ups Awards, how Rachel McAdams is somehow *still* underrated, when to avoid politics at the dinner table, and why we should all "LOVE THE GAYS!!!"

We dig into the plethora of queer characters present in this TV special, the enduring read of Rudolph's story in regards to oppression and capitalism, a Rankin/Bass deep dive (Heat Miser & Snow Miser 4ever), and why anyone would voluntarily want to be a dentist.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by horror writer Cory McCullough (The Scream Teens) to discuss 2022's *debatable* slasher flick.

The weekend after its release, Jordan and Brooke dive into Billy Eichner's new studio comedy. Was bad marketing the one to blame for this film's underperformance, or have the straight people taken us down once again? How soon can we get our hands on this screenplay?

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?

Fri, 12 Aug 2022 00:00:00 GMT

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.

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.

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!).

And did the final plane sequence in this movie actually steal the idea from "Toy Story 2?"

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."

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?
