Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is a 42-minute tragicomic musical in three acts, each released separately. It tells the story of Dr. Horrible, an aspiring supervillain, Captain Hammer, his superhero nemesis, and Penny, their mutual love interest. The movie was written by writer/director Joss Whedon, his brothers Zack Whedon and Jed Whedon, and Jed's then fiancée, actress Maurissa Tancharoen. The writing team penned the musical during the WGA strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A audacious musical comedy that gleefully subverts superhero tropes while wrestling with the messy collision of personal desire and grand ambitions. Watching it unfold is like being in on a clever joke that grows darker and more poignant as it goes.
