Frybread Face and Me (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): That summer in the reservation

Dicks: The Musical (2023) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): A wacky musical of deliberate bad taste
I guess I am not an ideal audience for “Dicks: The Musical”. As shown from a series of footage clips during its end credits, the people behind and in front of the camera go all the way for making a … Continue reading
