A glorified DVD extra

Saw this at my local LGBTQ film festival, where it was shown in one of the Saturday evening slots, leading me to believe it would be a pretty funny evening out. While there were a few laugh out loud moments throughout the documentary, there just wasn't enough story here to justify 90 minutes. It literally just came down to a case of some guys made a moderately successful web series and now they're going to tell us about it. No insight as to why this "underrepresented" community had suffered so deeply due to a lack of camp comedy shows about them, no decent exploration of how it could ever be as iconic as the shows it claims to be influenced by and little to make me feel anything more than a vague feeling that I might check out an episode or two one day. So as advertising I guess it worked, but as interesting and entertaining documentary material it was something of a dud.
