Q18:52Aaron Jackson & Josh Sharp: Dicks: The Musical, writing lyrics for Megan Thee Stallion, and absurdity in queer cinema

Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp are the creators and stars of the most absurd and raunchy movie to hit theatres this year, Dicks: The Musical. It's a profane spoof of the movie The Parent Trap, based on a show that Jackson and Sharp created while they were young improv comedians with the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York.

They talk to Q's Tom Power about coming up with the idea, getting Megan Thee Stallion to be in their movie and why it's time for queer cinema to embrace more absurdity.
