Streaming on YouTube and Apple TV
If you missed Boots Riley‘s I Love Boosters back in May, NEON Entertainment is giving cult film fans another shot to catch one of this year’s most talked-about films sooner rather than later. Riley is best known for the 2018 cult hit Sorry to Bother You, and since then, he has been on a hot streak. His unabashedly anti-capitalist filmmaking style is a hit, and for those who want a distraction from all the things going on in the States, this follow-up is a breath of fresh air.
From claymation fashion minions to a car chase staged on a miniature San Francisco, this must-see film is now available to stream!
It’s chaotic, funny, and very much its own thing. The film is fashion-forward, slightly 70s exploitation in style, and what can go wrong with this idea? Nothing will be said here, except that those wanting to put this work on repeat through streaming now can. As for the home video release, that is set for September 22, 2026.
It’s safe to say there’ll be a ton of goodies included. What’s advertised includes:
- Feature commentary with Boots Riley
- Never-before-seen cast interviews
- A “The Making of I Love Boosters” documentary featurette
- Blooper reel
After an unforgettable opening-night premiere at the SXSW Film Festival and a subsequent nationwide theatrical release, this movie attained cult status nearly overnight. It has the feel of The Bling Ring, minus the sci-fi bits, but for those who simply love music and colourful montages, even Josie and the Pussycats fits the bill.
About I Love Boosters:
This movie follows a group of female shoplifters who band together to take down fashion mogul Christie Smith (Demi Moore). Corvette (Keke Palmer), Mariah (Taylour Paige), and Sade (Naomi Ackie), known collectively as the “Velvet Gang,” regularly raid one particular store and resell the items to unsuspecting individuals. But pretty soon, what one of the gals discovers leads them down a road of “oh my God, how do I get out of this?” There’s a lot of subtext going on, and this is a movie viewers have to see to believe.
