On a new episode of The Rolling Stone interview, writer CT Jones sits down with I Love Boosters star Keke Palmer as the actress retraces her history from child-star to two-time Emmy Award winning actress and discusses her dreams about a legacy that doesn't let pressure and stress get the best of her. At 32 years old, Palmer has spent more years as her family's main breadwinner than not, after breaking out in Hollywood at 11-years-old with her lead role in the inspirational Spelling Bee film Akeelah and the Bee. Now, she holds a variety of titles all at the same time, singer, host, actress, and most importantly, single mother to her three-year-old son Leodis. Her latest film is Boots Riley's I Love Booster, a radical, anticapitalist film about a down-on-her-luck fashion designer who “boosts” clothes from retailers with the help of her stylishly dressed entourage, the Velvet Gang. Palmer discusses how the themes of labor, creativity, and power show up on screen and in her own life — and how she's redefining what success can look like. Learn more about your ad choices.

Talkin' Boots Riley's new film with Andrew Robinson

This week, our guest is Boots Riley, an Oakland-based filmmaker and founding member of the seminal hip hop group, The Coup. Like his music, Riley's films are politically charged, tackling subjects like capitalism, racism, and class. His debut film, Sorry to Bother You and television series I'm A Virgo showcased a surrealist style, sci-fi tropes and comedy. His hyperkinetic energy is on display again with his newest movie, I Love Boosters. The all-star cast features Demi Moore, Keke Palmer and LaKeith Stanfield. On May 28, 2026, Boots Riley came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater to talk to Alexis Madrigal about his art and activism. The evening was co-presented with KQED.  Join us now for a conversation with Boots Riley.

This week, we review Boots Riley's sophomore feature, I Love Boosters, an absurdist comedy skewering capitalist rot at the center of the fashion industry. An enthusiastic reflection of Riley's own politics, I Love Boosters features an infectious display of surrealist humor, eye-popping visuals, and labor-of-love practical effects; but is it enough to cover its everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach? We discuss the movie, go on a Star Wars tangent, and give an update on our Summer Box Office Wager.

In this episode, we review the 2026 crime comedy I Love Boosters, the second film written and directed by Boots Riley, starring Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, LaKeith Stanfield, and Demi Moore. We discuss whether this film is a strong follow-up to his well-received movie Sorry to Bother You. We also debate whether his writing style remains unique and entertaining without becoming too over-the-top or preachy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on CinemaChat, we dive into I Love Boosters (2026), the latest wildly original film from Boots Riley. Set in a surreal version of the Bay Area, the film follows Corvette (Keke Palmer) and her crew of fashion-savvy shoplifters as they target a ruthless fashion mogul who profits from stolen ideas and exploited labor. What starts as a stylish heist comedy quickly evolves into a bizarre mix of social satire, science fiction, labor activism, and anti-capitalist commentary. We discuss Riley's trademark blend of absurd humor and political messaging, the film's stacked ensemble cast, its unforgettable visual style, and whether its ambitious ideas come together as successfully as his previous work, Sorry to Bother You. Is I Love Boosters a bold and brilliant satire, or does it get lost in its own ambitions? Join us as we break down the performances, themes, weirdest moments, and whether this fashion-fueled revolution belongs on your must-watch list.

Vulture critic Roxana Hadadi joins Adam to break down the first theatrical Star Wars feature in eight years, The Mandalorian and Grogu. They discuss whether its wall-to-wall action reveals true character, how the helmet creates a literal performance straitjacket, and if the film works for anyone walking into the theater without three seasons of television homework. Then, they pivot to a very different kind of crew in Boots Riley’s politically uncompromising sophomore feature I Love Boosters.

On this week's episode, Nathan, Chris, and Gita bid farewell to the Aftermath Twitch channel—at least, in terms of using it to record the podcast—and turn their sights toward a pre-recorded, more-thoroughly-edited future (coming soon!). We also discuss Valve's decision to massively increase the Steam Deck's price thanks to “global logistical challenges” (read: AI and an incredibly stupid war) and how what seems to be the end of affordable consumer hardware might impact the games industry five or ten years down the line. Then we talk about the latest Boots Riley movie, I Love Boosters, and how intensely good it is by virtue of embracing a singular vision—the kind film industry outsiders rarely get the opportunity to put on screen these days. After that, we dive into the weeds of what it means to play and enjoy a game—in this case, Zero Parades: For Dead Spies—despite thorny origins. Lastly, Gita and Nathan debate the merits of two popular bands, Paramore and Sleep Token, even though both of their opinions are wrong.Credits- Hosts: Chris Person, Gita Jackson, and Luke Plunkett- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

 Mindframes Show Notes I Love Boosters (2026) — Episode 118 Directed by: Boots Riley Written by: Boots Riley Starring: Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, Don Cheadle, Demi Moore Cinematography: Natasha Braier Costume Design: Shirley Kurata Score: Tune-Yards Distributor: Neon IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30827810/ Episode Summary In this episode of Mindframes, Michael and Dave discuss I Love Boosters (2026) — the sophomore feature from writer-director Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You). And they didn't just watch it: Boots Riley was at their screening, making this a particularly special episode. The film follows the Velvet Gang, a crew of professional shoplifters — or "boosters" — led by Corvette (Keke Palmer), who steal high-end fashion and redistribute it to their community at affordable prices, calling it "fashion-forward philanthropy." Their target: Christie Smith (Demi Moore), a cutthroat fashion maven who has stolen Corvette's own designs and passed them off as her own. Michael and Dave dig into Riley's political vision and whether the film preaches or persuades, Keke Palmer's career-best performance, the stunning visual craft from cinematographer Natasha Braier and costume designer Shirley Kurata, and the film's surrealist escalation into sci-fi territory. The spoiler section tackles the film's central question head-on: can style — and collective action — actually be a revolutionary act? Michael gives the film 4 stars. Dave gives it 4.5 stars.

This week, the OG three Steve, Dana, and Julia dig into the visually stuffed, Marxist smorgasbord that is Boots Riley's latest film I Love Boosters. Starring Keke Palmer and Demi Moore, the candy-colored agitprop is about exploitation, the fashion world, shoplifting as class warfare, and— as they discuss—perhaps more than one movie can handle. Next they turn from Marx to Freud and analyze the critically adored reality TV phenomenon Couples Therapy, now entering its fifth season. Is the office of Dr. Orna Guralnik a site of transcendent psychological revelation or panoptic exploitation? They unpack.Finally, they talk lingvo itself by way of a recent article in Harpers by Katie Thornton about the unlikely resurgence of interest in the artificial language Esperanto. In a bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, they answer a listener question about what long-running pieces of culture they've stuck with over years.Ĝuu!EndorsementsDana: The book The Artificial Language Movement by Andrew Large about the centuries-long history of utopic language projects.Julia: Lena Dunham's memoir Famesick and Dialed.gg, the internet's latest color perception test.Steve: The music of the indie shoegaze band Slowdive—particularly the album Souvlaki—and the solo efforts of its frontman Neil Halstead—particularly the song “Witless or Wise” and the album Palindrome Hunches; check out Steve's mega playlist for more.---Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.

A group of shoplifters (Keke Palmer, Taylour Paige, Naomi Ackie) take aim at a ruthless fashion maven (Oscar-nominee Demi Moore) by stealing her clothes and reselling them at a lower price, partially out of revenge for her stealing several of their fashion designs.  This is the latest opus from writer/director Boots Riley (Sorry To Bother You) and that overall description doesn't really do it justice to the many crazy turns which this sci-fi/corporate satire takes.  The stacked cast also includes Lakeith Stanfield, Eiza Gonzalez, Poppy Liu, Will Poulter, and Don Cheadle.  Get ready for a wild, genre-defying ride!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Beyond the fun, we discuss how Riley uses his signature stylized satire to take aim at the fashion industry and advocate for workers' rights.Then we wrap things up by teasing tease Riley's next project, an adaptation of Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play, and share our latest obsessions, including the eerie comedy-drama Widow's Bay and the physical comedy of Chris Fleming.#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Door Company.

On this week's episode Kolby brings you a review for Boots Riley's (Sorry to Bother You) latest film "I Love Boosters"!

This week on Cinema Shock, we're reviewing I LOVE BOOSTERS, a film that injects a shot of adrenaline and style into the modern crime genre. Moving far beyond the typical heist tropes, the movie focuses on a crew of boosters targeting the ultra-luxury fashion industry — transforming a criminal enterprise into a dangerous game of survival and status. We're breaking down the film's visual language and how it uses a neon-soaked palette to mirror the glossy world its characters are trying to infiltrate. We also explore the underlying themes of class anxiety and corporate greed, tracking how Riley's storytelling here draws a direct line back to his early musical days with The Coup. Join us as we dissect the performances, the music, and the sharp cultural critique that makes this one of the most refreshing thrillers we've seen in a minute.

New Star Wars, new Boots Riley, new Jack Ryan and three horrors this week! Let's dig in...

It's a long holiday weekend, so an extra-long episode of our Breakfast Al Day podcast seems fitting. Here's what we reviewed as we head into Memorial Day: I LOVE BOOSTERS. Boots Riley is back with another maximalist, absurdist comedy. He follows up 2018's "Sorry to Bother You" with the story of a group of women who steal designer clothes and sell them at discount prices. Starring Keke Palmer, Taylour Paige, Naomi Ackie and Demi Moore. In theaters. TUNER. The best new movie of the week. Oscar-winning documentarian Daniel Roher ("Navalny") makes his narrative feature debut with the story of a New York piano tuner (Leo Woodall) who uses his super-sensitive hearing to work as a safecracker on the side. Co-starring Dustin Hoffman and Havana Rose Liu. In limited release now, opening nationwide May 29. IS GOD IS. We got a ton of requests to catch up with this stylish Southern thriller from last week, and we're so glad we did. Writer-director Aleshea Harris adapts her stage play about twins who go on a cross-country road trip of revenge against their father, who tried to kill their mother. Kara Young and Mallori Johnson are both tremendous. This is a must-see. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! We're back with lots to discuss, including "The Mandalorian and Grogu," "The Boys" series finale, the last Stephen Colbert show, Tom Hardy getting fired from "MobLand," the Cannes Film Festival and more.

If you're a fan of the Disney+ TV series, "The Mandalorian," then you'll probably find enough to like in the big screen edition, "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu." The story plays like a few TV episodes folded into one and ballooned onto the big screen. That's because the movie version was apparently an afterthought. Still, there's plenty of action, visual razzle dazzle and cute aliens to spare in “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” but if you're looking for involving human drama, that's in a galaxy far, far away. Eccentric filmmaker Boots Riley has so many creative ideas that his latest film "I Love Boosters" can barely hold them all. That's both a good thing and a bad one. Keke Palmer and Demi Moore lead a terrific cast in a wacky, surreal and profane comic sci-fi social critique about a gang of shoplifters who confront an unethical billionaire fashion designer. The movie's design elements are fantastic, but the plot elements and themes are way too scattershot. Still, the game cast gives "I Love Boosters" a boost. You don't have to be a fan of the Amazon Prime "Jack Ryan" series to enjoy the new movie "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War." In fact, you don't really need to know anything about the show or the novels. John Krasinzki, who also produced and co-wrote the screenplay, is back as Ryan, a now former CIA agent. who gets pulled into a caper involving a rogue operative group in London that threatens to undermine both the US and British spy operations. “Jack Ryan: Ghost War” has the action elements genre fans love and manages to create a bit of tension despite the overly familiar plot elements.

Boots Riley's new film is called ‘I Love Boosters,' and it stars Keke Palmer as the leader of a crew of women shoplifters in the Bay Area who steal from luxury stores and sell the goods cheap to people who can't afford retail. 20 years before the movie, Riley wrote a song by the same name with his hip-hop group The Coup. The song is a love letter to shoplifters, or boosters, as they're called. Riley talks with Tonya Mosley about why his music, shows, and films -- including the 2018 movie ‘Sorry To Bother You' -- continue to explore the contradictions that capitalism produces. Riley was a labor organizer in his teens.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

The 52nd Annual Seattle International Film Festival begins this evening, bringing 11 days of movie magic back to the Pacific Northwest. Over 200 films from more than 70 countries are on the docket, with features, shorts, documentaries, and – for the brave at heart – SECRET screenings on both Sundays of the festival. It’s been a tough year for SIFF, the organization that runs the festival... The closure of the Egyptian Theater in Capitol Hill and layoffs loom large, while staffing issues and contract negotiations with SIFF’s Cinema Workers’ Union remain unresolved. Those talks have been put on hold until after the Festival. This year’s fest kicks off at the Paramount Theater with Boots Riley’s “I Love Boosters,” tonight at 7pm.GUEST: Megan Leonard - SIFF’s Festival Programming Manager LINKS: Seattle International Film Festival SIFF 2026 Program Programmers' Picks: Megan Leonard on SIFF 2026 Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

Today, we catch up with Boots Riley, originally episode 243 from 2018-12-05.Original writeup below:“…as I went on I realised the main thing that I needed to give people was passion…”Pip's been lining this one up for a GOOD long while, before the hype was bubbling in the UK for Boot's debut film as director, and the wonderful news is that it will be in the UK very soon! I for one am sick of reading tweets about how good it is from US people. So it's great news that us UK folk get a piece… This is a perfect if slightly condensed connection with Pip and Boots, as they get into his desire to be Prince early on, theatre, film school, wanting to sound like Ice Cube, the mainstream-ness of documentaries, having faith in a great cast, his diverse cinematic influences, importance of wardrobe and “beautiful clutter”. Oh, and that whole Spike Lee thing too...
