Scratch out that passport photo and don't be boring because we're discussing Anthony Minghella's 1999 adaptation, The Talented Mr. Ripley! Tagging in for the conversation is Jordan Gustafson, the co-host of the Queer Quadrant Podcast!
Join us as we go all in on this adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's classic novel, from Matt Damon's stellar performance as evil twink Tom Ripley to Jude Law's massive cakes. The film also puts a heavier emphasis on Tom's queerness, so you know we'll have a lot to say about that!
Plus: homoerotic bathtub chess matches, a lengthy tangent on the Oscars, and a compulsive need for more Cate Blanchett.
