Titanic with The Bechdel Cast

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Caitlin Durante and Jamie Loftus (The Bechdel Cast) to discuss the biggest and best blockbuster of them all. Jimmy C's 1997 epic is one of the greatest love story ever told – but is it also secretly queer? We dive into filmmaker Celine Sciamma's love for this film's freeing subtext, Leo's androgynous look that awakened us all, Rose defying gender norms, Cal's campy villain performance, and gay icon Kathy Bates (aka the Unsinkable Molly Brown).Follow us on Twitter and IG!

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.
