Why be normal when you can be extraordinarily fabulous? That’s the question posed by Captain Faggotron Saves the Universe, a wildly funny, proudly over-the-top new indie comedy from writer-director Harvey Rabbit.
The film tells a kinky comic book-inspired story that would have the superheroes of Marvel clutching their pearls. Rodrigo Garcia Alves stars as Father Gaylord, a conflicted young priest who is hell bent on denying his homosexuality… but isn’t very good at it.
Meanwhile, his supernaturally powerful alien ex-lover, Queen Bitch (Bishop Black), is hatching a plan to turn the entire Earth gay. The repressed priest turns to superhero Captain Faggotron (Tchivett) for help, but the caped crusader finds himself highly conflicted. Clashing ideologies culminate in an orgy of gay demons… and a love that no longer has to hide.
Taking inspiration from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the films of John Waters and Bruce LaBruce, this brazenly queer, subversively political new film was conceived in response to anti-gay attitudes around the world and uses camp as a tool of joyful resistance, confronting heteronormative structures with humor, garish glamour and a whole lot of attitude.
