Larry Charles, Josh Sharp, Aaron Jackson & Bowen Yang discuss their collaboration on this award-winning eccentric musical & why the Sewer Boys matter.
The Big Picture Based on their play Fucking Identical Twins, writers and co-stars Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson joined forces with Borat’s Larry Charles to bring their feature adaptation, Dicks: The Musical, to this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. Full to bursting with lewd humor, a mash-up of genres, and the Sewer Boys, this bizarre A24 musical claimed TIFF’s Midnight Madness Award as well as the hearts of the audience.
SHARP: I mean, you sort of said it right there, which is, I think, what they're trying to show with these interim agreements. Of course, they're an independent company that's not affiliated with all the struck companies that are negotiating against us, but furthermore, they have to sign a contract that meets all the unions' wishes, which feels like a trillion-dollar tech company would be able to do. So, we just feel very lucky to be here, period, for all those reasons.
CHARLES: The original review was like 40 minutes or something, but it lent itself. I mean, it was touching on so many interesting issues that it almost was naturally able to grow into the story that it became, which is touching on all those different genres and synthesizing them into a coherent whole.
SHARP: Us, too. They were an honor to work with. We auditioned them, we auditioned a lot of people. They're sort of discoveries.YANG: And it wasn't tokenism.SHARP: It was representation because we read a lot of actors for it. They didn’t bring the authenticity like Backpack and Whisper did. SHARP: And keeping the blemishes, like there's a moment where I break, there's a moment where someone doesn't hit a mark, and the camera has to pull over to them. There's just a lot of that little stuff, too, that's fun.
