Every week, Kristopher Pollard from Milwaukee Film and Radio Milwaukee’s Dori Zori talk about movies — because that’s what you do when you’re Cinebuds.

Fresh from the theater, Dori and Kpolly dive headfirst into Boots Riley’s latest, I Love Boosters.

This colorful, high-fashion heist film follows a crew of shoplifters who resell designer gear while targeting a cutthroat fashion icon played by Demi Moore. They break down the incredible cast, from the great Kiki Palmer leading the charge to a nearly unrecognizable Don Cheadle.

The film is a total feast for the senses, featuring a janky stop-motion aesthetic, a 17-degree tilted apartment set and a pulsing soundtrack by Tune-Yards. Beyond the fun, our cinematic duo discuss how Riley uses his signature stylized satire to take aim at the fashion industry and advocate for workers' rights.

Then they wrap things up by teasing tease Riley’s next project, an adaptation of Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play, and share their latest obsessions, including the eerie comedy-drama Widow's Bay and the physical comedy of Chris Fleming.
