But.

Habib T has some good moments and Maid of Honor is a standout to me.

And while Drake is dumping whatever out into the world and flooding the market with Drake slop, maybe there's glimmers of diamonds in the Drake slop to throw some imagery out there.

And what I will say is that I'll take slop from someone who continues to surprise me over boring, mediocre slop any day.

Oh, I absolutely loved it.

Granted, I was already a big fan of Sorry to Bother You.

That's been one of my favorite films of the last decade.

I talk about it and think about it often.

Yeah.

So I had high expectations for Boosters, and I feel like the movie matched them for me.

I think I Love Boosters is a more mature movie from Boots Riley.

I think it's a little bit more clear-headed than Sorry to Bother You was.

And...

More importantly, I feel like Boots Riley continues to have an incredible handle on tone in whatever he does.

And Boosters has this wacky, anything goes Looney Tunesque energy to it with the visual jokes, the colors.

Even there's some scenes where he speeds up what's happening for comedic effect.

It gives the movie a little lightness to it.

So even when it dives into the heavier Boots Riley-esque topics...

like anti-capitalist class solidarity and things like that, it does it so easily and effortlessly and has a vision to me that feels hopeful without going into hope core, which I can find a little cheesy.

I teared up at the end.
