If Ed Wood hit the spot, these will too

The same mix in both: wit, then play

Contemplative where it counts, epic underneath
The difference: Leans harder into documentary than Ed Wood does

Witty comedy in both cases
The difference: Made in the 2020s, in a different era of the craft

Drama with a pulse of play, in both cases
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Ed Wood does

Both lean on stillness more than on history

Comedy built on scale, twice over

Witty drama, and it commits to that
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both lean on play more than on history

One thread runs through both: transsexuality

Both lean on stillness more than on comedy
