Think back all the way to June 2021. Warner Bros was still in the midst of releasing all of their movies simultaneously in theaters and on what was then called HBO Max and Friends: The Reunion had just been released. Meanwhile, Peacock subscribers were being introduced to an all-female Muslim punk band from London called Lady Parts.
Created, written, and directed by Nida Manzoor, We Are Lady Parts might just be the most under-appreciated comedy of the 2020s. Its main character is Amina (Anjana Vasan), a very talented guitar player who has a small problem with stage fright that causes her to lose control over some of her bodily fluids whenever she has to perform in front of an audience.
