Welcome to PFR Weekly's first proper film conversation! On today's episode, Jane, Nathan, and Devin dig into Boots Riley's 2018 fever dream of a film, Sorry to Bother You.
During their conversation, they cover Riley's directorial style, the performances in the film, and the many historical influences that Riley seems to be drawing on from Stanley Kubrick to Karl Marx (if Marx is your thing, there's pleeeeeeenty of him in this episode so get excited for that). Plus, Nathan rattles the cage and gets Jane and Devin to debate him about whether or not Sorry to Bother You is *gasp* a better version of Parasite (2019). Come for the Boots Riley obsession, stay for the old-married-couple-style-bickering.
