HeyJaredThe Queer Quadrant
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.

Phillip Iscove (Podcast Like It's the 2000s) rejoins for this 2000 drama that has been basically erased from existence. Madonna and Rupert Everett co-parent a child and then it goes completely awry!

Journey to the kingdom of the Merfolk, where the Disney Renaissance began!

Girls Like Girls with Isabella Stephanos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Break out those chokers, cigarettes, and a weirdly colored filter – because we're going back to Tumblr, baby! Well, not really.

Read excerpt
Be the fourth in our coven as we dive in this fashion-forward horror! Brooke tries to map these teen witches to the four elements, Jordan fears the very practical thousands of snakes used in this film, and Roxana has excellent thoughts on the 1990s guardrails for young female characters, dropped plotlines, and "Jock Skeet."

The Other Guys with Mitchell Beaupre (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are rejoined by Letterboxd's own Mitchell Beaupre for another chance to torture Brooke with comedy. Suit up for a Michael Keaton career check-in (plus bisexual NYU DJ son mention), performative masculinity, McKay's ill-advised important film era, Wahlberg's physical comedy chops, and why you should always, always aim for the bushes.
