ironymaidenThe Long Haul: The Story of the Buckaroos
sweet and funny documentary about an all-male burlesque troupe created by Jonny-boy of the Can-Can. it's a first feature, so the storytelling can be murky, but the performance footage and the non-toxic masculinity on display is rad and worth celebrating. especially notable for the mix of body shapes and sizes on display (although it's still pretty white) and joyfully absurd costume choices. as they say, they wanted it to be sexy but entertaining and funny enough to take your mom or a straight boyfriend. one more show in Seattle on Saturday; this was the premiere so I expect it will be some time before it reappears elsewhere.
