I really enjoyed Dynastud and the return to campy humor that's been missing in LGBTQ films lately.
Campy humor has been and will always be a part of gay culture. It's how we process all the pain, anger, and disappointment we've experienced (and still experience today, unfortunately). Campy films seemed to hit their peak in the late 90s and 2000s and it was a fun time for our cinema. In the 2010s, they seemed to go out of style. But this film seems to mark a return to humor.
We need laughter. These are very dark times in our country and often times it feels like we're losing everything we fought to achieve. Dynastud represents a time capsule of what we're suffering through and it's important for it to be said. Sure, the film is outlandish. That's what makes campy humor so much fun.
My husband and I really enjoyed it and hope more film makers will make campy films because it really does help deal with all the madness in this current administration.
