I still think the Witch was A24's first musical. Sure it's just the Black Phillip song, but that's a banger.

I have a friend involved in this; hearing anecdotes about the creation of it has been wild. Apparently it is premiering at TIFF. Crossing my fingers for them.

in the tradition of "Cannibal the Musical" & "Hairspray"
now DICKS. I'm all for it despite not even liking musicals

I'm not certain I'm going to like this, but I will definitely go see it.

This…is this the first tik tok movie? Maybe it’s just the trailer, but the whole thing seems tailor made for social media replication

This…is this the first tik tok movie?

Right behind “Nixon in China” on the top ten dick musicals list.

I'm loving A24 distribution decisions:

A24: "It it too ~ weird ~ for mainstream cinema audiences ?"

Creators: YES !?

A24: "GREAT - then lets put in front of EVERYONE'S EYEBALLS ~immediately~ ! "

Megan Mullaly.
Sold. A24 keeps taking my money in an absolutely fair exchange of services and goods.

Related... I'm in the A24 fan club and they let me pick a birthday gift. I had them send me this lavender A24 dog collar for my awesome dog, Rango. He's a dog, but even he knows your opinion about Beau Is Afraid is wrong.

I can't tell if it going to be an utter delight or utter trash, but it's definitely going to be one of those extremes.

Also, DirtyOldTown: RANGO IS ADORABLE.

Bowen Yang is God, so I guess this is some kind of documentary?

At first I was very excited about the prospect of a movie about one of my favorite bands from back in the day, but then I was very disappointed.

There's also a Dick's in Ottawa, I'm told. It is similarly a source of local weak humour.

I do miss getting a mouthful of Dicks in Seattle.

Can I hope for "both"?
