Silkwood with Laura Venning
Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by film critic Laura Venning for this harrowing drama where the corruption – gasp – goes all the way to the top. We discuss shirtless Kurt Russell chopping wood (good), Meryl's mullet (good), Cher saying the word "dyke" in a Southern accent (GOOD), and our favorite pro-union films.

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. In The Queer Quadrant, hosts Brooke Solomon and Jordan Gustafson examine cinema in all its cultural contexts, and explore why your favorite four-quadrant blockbuster is maybe…not as straight as you think it is.
