Code Name: Dynastud

Dynastud is what you would expect from a James Bond superhero type film with the super handsome dude hooking up with hot people and saving the world except instead of girls it is with guys. Finally a gay action, super spy, adventure, superhero movie.In a near future world where being gay is against the law we have one guy fighting for gay rights, Dynastud. Great fun but not for the easily offended but if you are a fan of Richard Griffin films then you won't be offended. I had the privilege of being at the premiere and the crowd was raucous and laughing their collective asses off. Beautifully shot and great special effects it is a well rounded film with an amazing cast. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Better than average campy fun movie. As someone earlier mentioned, think of a James Bond movie done by a collaboration of Mel Brooks & the Broken Lizard folks. The acting was decently accomplished, particularly by the two leads. There was full frontal nudity which wasn't titillating and I suppose would turn some off. If there was one thing that turned me off it was the impression that the entire movie was dubbed.

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.

You know how Mel Brooks makes fun of Hitler? Well, enter Richard Griffin against MAGA.

Yeah, this is bound to upset some yahoos, promoting a society that accepts LGBQT, but it is actually quite smart and very funny in its approach to the superhero genre while making a social commentary that's rarely hit-over-the-head level. As an ally, I laughed through most of it, and nodded my head in others in agreement. So worth a viewing. There is some male nudity, so keep the kids away if you must, but if your sense is an open-minded one, gay or straight, there is a lot to enjoy here. Even if you're Canadian (if you see the film, you'll understand what I mean).
