I Love Boosters (2026)

"Boosters" are shoplifters who steal designer clothes and sell them at a discount price. However, whatever you think this movie is about, it isn't. 

Filmmaker Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) crafts another surreal, absurdist high concept comedy with shades of slapstick, satire, sci-fi and horror, which defies any easy classification. It's bizarre and demented and unpredictable in all the right ways, but it also earns fashion points for being original and bold.

Sorry to Bother You (2018)

A deeply weird film that seems like a shame to spoil in any way. It involves a broke man who becomes a telemarketer and tries to get ahead in the industry. Director Boots Riley has some pitch black sensibilities and this film is dripping in irony. Blending elements of surrealism and science fiction, you might not know where the hell it's going, but you'll certainly know when you get there.

Faces of Death (2026)

A woman investigates snuff films on the internet. Turns out a serial killer is going around and recreating old kills from the original video nasty series Faces of Death, the notorious pseudo-documentary featuring fake deaths and staged reenactments. (Not to be confused with Traces of Death, a mondo film which actually depicted real footage of fatalities.) Let's cut straight to the chase: This is bottom of the barrel trash fodder with zero redeeming value.

Ricky Stanicky (2024)

The Farrelly Brothers tackle R-rated comedy after 13 years and it's a welcome return to form. Three childhood friends invent an alibi called "Ricky Stanicky," who they use as a lifelong excuse to get out of trouble and family obligations. When they are finally caught in the lie 20 years later, they hire a struggling adult entertainer (who sings dirty song parodies) in order to inhabit the role. John Cena always kills it when he goes straight for the comedy and leaves his ego at the door, and William H. Macy always remains a highlight for me. The three friends were mostly forgettable though, and I didn't really care what happened to them, even though that was the very crux of the movie. Ricky Stanicky was too damn likeable and all they kept doing was trying to get rid of him the entire time. Let's face it, we could all use a Ricky Stanicky in our lives.

At the end of the day though, all I'm going to remember are those dirty song parodies. Seriously, that shit made me laugh so hard because I thought I was the only one who turned every lyric into something perverted. "Weird Al Wankovic" was right there the whole time.

Sting (2024)

High art, this ain't. A mutant alien spider grows monstrous in size and descends on the population of a small apartment complex. It's a horror-comedy, so you definitely have to be in the right mood for it, but it offers a combination of thrills and frights. Think Eight Legged Freaks or any number of giant bug movies from the 1950s. It's not meant to be taken serious in the least; just a bit of idle fun to put on when your brain has officially checked out.
