‘Dicks: The Musical’ Is the Year’s Absolute Best Film About Twin Incest and Flying Vaginas
Like much of our greatest art, Dicks: The Musical began in the basement of a now-abandoned Gristedes grocery store in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.
It’s been a decade since that Upright Citizens Brigade production, and what Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp started as a 30-minute off-Broadway musical they performed for their queer comedy friends (and those who love them) is now an indie film hit from trendy studio A24.
The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. There, audiences were sent into a state of hyperventilation, gasping in disbelief at what they were seeing on screen—and then laughing hysterically at how absolutely, unabashedly, gloriously, and egregiously ridiculous it all is.
