What better way to celebrate the capitalism of Valentine's Day than with a big blockbuster film? Join us for a state of the union on late 00s queer rep (TL;DR – there are way too many straight white people), Taylor's Swift rocky acting career, Jordan's enduring love for Bradley Cooper, Brooke's enduring love for Anne Hathaway, and a bite-sized review of the new Mean Girls movie.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Flynn Slicker (Letterboxd) for a fabulous musical double feature / luxury vacation to Greece! Experience the pure euphoria that only ABBA can summon as we dive into a star-studded cast, a notoriously lit wrap party, THREE whole father figures, and the transcendent gay vibes of choreography in bell-bottoms. Follow Flynn on Twitter, IG and Letterboxd! Follow us on Twitter and IG! (And Jordan's Letterboxd / Brooke's Letterboxd)

Jordan and Brooke are joined for 2023's sweeping romance by the Maestro Moment creator herself, the one and only Fran Hoepfner! We discuss man vs. myth, self-proclaimed "crazy cinephile" Bradley Cooper, big swing accents, prosthetics, a marriage and the space around it, and Matthew "always in his bag" Libatique.

It's the second year of The QQ Qualifier Awards – aka the Quallies! Listen along as Jordan and Brooke award the coveted "Rainbow Prism" to their favorite films,  performances, and other special categories from the 2023 cinematic year. Follow us on Twitter and IG!

Happy holi-gays, friends – celebrate with us by taking a trip to mid-aughts Hot Topic with Henry Selick's 1993 multi-holiday classic! Christmas or Halloween...or porque no los dos? Is Jack's Lament actually a coming out power ballad? How ridiculously in his bag was Danny Elfman on this one? What's up with those fruity little Halloweentown vampires? And are we running out of queer holiday movies far too quickly?! Follow us on Twitter and IG! (And Jordan's Letterboxd / Brooke's Letterboxd)

We asked for it, we manifested it...and now we have to deal with it. Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer and verified Sandman stan Nat Torres for a long-awaited episode on 2007's extremely subtle and not at all offensive four-quadrant comedy! Listen along for Brooke's "Grown Ups" audition story, a dissection of New England mascot Adam Sandler, the "Happy Madison girl" problem, plenty of moaning and groaning about poorly aged jokes, and why this movie is low-key not that bad...perhaps even gayer than originally thought...

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by film writer (and Poor Things festival viewer) Iana Murray for the most snubbed movie of 2018, in our humble opinion. 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!

Jordan and Brooke take you on a twisty, murderous ride filled with fabulous pantsuits and dubious incest for Paul Feig's 2018 film. Listen along for a thorough history of "domestic female thriller" novels (aka "Gone Girl" ripoffs), the evolution of Stephanie and Emily's sapphic explorations, Henry Golding's charming star power, and the definitive best way to make a martini. Follow us on Twitter and IG! (And Jordan's Letterboxd / Brooke's Letterboxd)

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Clay Keller (Screen Drafts) for Frank Capra's 1944 horror / dark (screwball) comedy / crime caper / rom-com. How do all these genres fit into one tight two-hour romp? How many wild looks does Cary Grant give straight to camera? Is it valid to poison men to give them peace in this life, actually? And is Peter Lorre the all-time best weird little guy? Follow us on Twitter and IG! (And Jordan's Letterboxd / Brooke's Letterboxd) Follow Clay on Twitter, and listen to Screen Drafts!

Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer Kyle Turner for William Friedkin's early foray into directing with a definitive gay classic! We discuss the creation of Mart Crowley's acclaimed and radical play, the theater revival and subsequent Ryan Murphy remake, which exes we'd call in a twisted game of telephone, and Michael's absolutely awful vibes. Follow us on Twitter and IG! (And Jordan's Letterboxd / Brooke's Letterboxd) Follow Kyle on Twitter, and check out The Queer Film Guide: 100 Films That Tell LGBTIA+ Stories.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer/director Liz Hannah for 2006's iconiqué fashion filmé. We break down sickening looks, cutting clap-backs, perfect casting, a terrible boyfriend, and a few "oh so 2000s" weight references. Plus a note-perfect Stanley Tucci, gay icon Miranda Priestly, and our pitch for "Drag Becomes Her" – a Meryl Streep-specific drag show. Follow us on Twitter and IG!

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Erik Anderson (AwardsWatch) for a delightfully nostalgic romp through high school. We wonder if Romy and Michele will eventually realize that they are each others' true soulmates and actually marry each other, express our deep fondness for Alan Cumming, pick the film's best fashion moments (so hard!), marvel at Mira Sorvino's accent work, and go allllll in on that transcendent dream sequence.
