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.

Good Fortune (2025)


Gabriel, the angel of texting and driving, sticks his neck out for a lost soul down on his luck, allowing him to trade places with a wealthy tech bro and experience a life free from debt, while the other spends time in his shoes. Predictably, it goes about as well as expected, and he doesn't want to change back. A great movie that forces the viewer to consider the disparity between class and wealth. I enjoyed this quite a bit, but of course, the uncomfortable truths remain. The reality is a lot darker, and this movie keeps things as light as possible, but it's a fun diversion from the slings and arrows of real life.
