There&#8217;s so much going on. It uses existing characters, except they&#8217;re really distorted parodies of the characters. It looks like it had an eight dollar budget. It&#8217;s direct and garish, but also subtle and clever. It includes a ton of different media styles &#8211; live action, CG, animated, musical, whatever it can afford- but it all holds together. Packed with references to three different worlds, but somehow still cohesive. How do you condense that into a word a phrase?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I listened to the Maximum Film podcast discussion of the movie, and they had the right term: this is a movie version of a zine.  Take existing materials, cut them up, mix in your own creations and ideas, and make something wonky and wonderful. Something undeniably new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think I can safely say this is the best trans self discovery story seen through the lenses of mainstream superhero films and the stand up comedy world ever created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The trans\/superhero\/stand-up comedy movie you didn&#8217;t know you wanted.
