The second movie in our Oakland on Film festival is this 2018 surrealist comedy from activist/musician turned Director Boots Riley. It revolves around Cassius Green, an Oakland telemarketer who discovers a major key to success in his job, and later has to choose between his own financial gain or joining his friends who are try to form a union. 

In this episode the boys review the 2018 cult following film, "Sorry to Bother You". The movie takes place in an alternate present-day version of Oakland, telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success, propelling him into a universe of greed. (00:00 - Sorry to Bother You Review)

My old pal Jason Threlkeld was gracious and game enough to join me to chat about Sorry to Bother You, the surprise debut hit from avowed Communist and hip hop legend Boots Riley (The Coup, anyone?). Matt and I both love this movie, and showing it to someone for the first time was very exciting, to say the least. Did Jason like it, or were there too many "WTF"'s and shifts in tone for him to chew on at once? What is the main theme here? Is it race, or is it more about the labor movement and decrying the excesses of capitalism? What does the movie want us to think about Cassius Green?

In this week's episode we discuss Boots Riley's 2018 film, Sorry to Bother You. After failing to make an impact in his new job as a telemarketer, Cassius Green takes his co-worker's advice and begins to use his “white voice” to bizarre consequences.

In this episode Cat and Rosa highlight the one and only Tessa Thompson. They discuss her work on three films and ending with our newly revamped Latinx Lens Recommends.  Sorry to Bother You (2018) Set in an alternate present day version of Oakland, where telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success, propelling him into a universe of greed. Thompson portrays Detroit, Cassius' romantic interest.  Annihilation (2018) A biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious zone where the laws of nature don’t apply. Lena, a biologist and former soldier, joins a mission to uncover what happened to her husband inside area X, a sinister and mysterious phenomenon that is expanding across the American coastline. Once inside, the expedition discovers a world of mutated landscapes and creatures, as dangerous as it is beautiful, that threatens both their lives and sanity. Tessa plays Josie, a physicist, and although her role isn’t grand her performance certainly is memorable.    Sylvie’s Love (2020) When a young woman meets an aspiring saxophonist in her father’s record shop in 1950s Harlem, their love ignites a sweeping romance that transcends changing times, geography, and professional success. Thompson stars alongside Nnamdi Asomugha as the delightful Sylvie.   For Latinx Lens Recommends we look at La Historia Oficial “The Official Story” (1985). An upper-class Argentinian woman begins to suspect that the daughter she and her husband have adopted may be one of the children of the purged political of the ruling junta. The first Latin American film to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign picture.    Please Rate, Review & Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!

Set in an alternate-reality version of modern-day Oakland, Calif., director Boots Riley’s 2018 comedy Sorry to Bother You stars LaKeith Stanfield as Cassius Green, who goes from rags to riches after he becomes a high-powered telemarketer through the use of what’s known in the movie as his “white voice.” The movie’s biting in its social commentary and wildly surprising in its sci-fi twist, which is equal parts shocking, terrifying and hilarious. Get ready for a mindf---, and for some low-key talk about social revolution that just might earn this humble pod a few listeners from certain federal agencies.

[Attention, la fin du film est spoilée] Boots Riley, rappeur dérangé, signe un étrange premier long-métrage. Dans cette frénétique comédie satirique, Cassius Green dit « Cash » décide d’entamer une carrière de vendeur dans un centre d’appels. Ce jeune noir désargenté, joué par Lakeith Stanfield déjà vu dans « Get out », excelle dans son job en se faisant passer pour un Blanc au téléphone.À mi-chemin entre un Michel Gondry et un Spike Lee, Boots Riley propose une critique déjantée de l’individualisme et du capitalisme dans un monde pas si éloigné de la réalité.

Boots Riley’s directorial début, “Sorry to Bother You,” blends a dark strain of comedy with a sci-fi vision of capitalism run amok. The film’s hero, Cassius Green, is a telemarketer who rises quickly in the ranks—eventually becoming a “power caller”—after he learns to use a “white voice” on the phone, mimicking the way white people are supposed to speak. As sharp as the film is on issues of race and identity, “Sorry to Bother You” ultimately takes capitalism, and the way it exploits labor, as its target. “There were a lot of things about capitalism that were forgiven by big media companies while Obama was in office,” Riley tells The New Yorker’s Doreen St. Félix in a live interview at the New Yorker Festival. “Things that we had said we were against under Bush.” “Sorry to Bother You” is, in part, a response to that loss of focus. Riley, who is forty-seven, got his start as a rapper; for many years, he led the political hip-hop band the Coup. He traces his interest in art as activism to an incident from 1989, when police officers in San Francisco beat two children and their mother in front of a housing project. Neighbors began protesting, spilling out onto the street and chanting lyrics from Public Enemy's “Fight the Power.” “It made me see what place music could have,” Riley tells St. Félix. “I knew, This is what I had to do.”

2018's Sorry to Bother created by Boots Riley is about an alternate present-day version of Oakland, telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success, propelling him into a universe of greed. In this show we discover how Boots Riley was able to create such a work of art via his commentary track. Filmmaker Commentary is hosted by Reginald Titus Jr. and Co-hosted by Casey G. Smith

The indie movie Sorry to Bother You is a summer hit. Lakeith Stanfield stars as Cassius Green, a telemarketer whose world spirals into chaos. Code Switch's Gene Demby and Shereen Meraji have some very different views on the film.

The riotously funny, incredibly inventive new movie Sorry to Bother You has become one of the summer’s most acclaimed films, as well as an unlikely hit in arthouses. The movie’s tale of a young man named Cassius Green (played by Lakeith Stanfield), who takes a job in a call center, drifts wildly from genre to genre, sometimes seeming like a comedy, sometimes like a call to political action, and sometimes like a near-future science fiction movie. But uniting all these ideas is a commitment to forthrightly leftist politics, and director Boots Riley dropped by the show to talk with Todd not just about making the movie but about how he wants to use it to explore ideas about unions, about political organization, and about building a movement. We follow that up with a chat with Jonah Levy and Matt Silva, the makeup artists behind the movie Uncle Drew, who turned a bunch of NBA legends into their older selves. They talked to Todd about the basics of movie makeup and their favorite movie makeup designs of all time. I Think You're Interesting has been nominated for this year's People's Choice Podcast Awards!
