CORRECTION: When referring to the movie "I Love Boosters," Christina accidentally said Bootsy Collins when she meant to say Boots Riley. She knows the difference, whereas Christine knows the difference between the cognates but was legitimately hoping Bootsy Collins directed a movie. A girl can dream.
