In the new film I Love Boosters, Keke Palmer is the ringleader of a shoplifting crew that squares off with an unethical fashion CEO played by Demi Moore. It's from the bizarro visionary director Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) and it may be his most delightfully unhinged project yet.

    New shows, new music, new movies. Keeping up with pop culture sometimes feels like a full-time job. Thankfully, over at Pop Culture Happy Hour, it's literally our job. We break down what's actually worth watching, listening to, and pretending you already knew about. So the next time someone says, "Did you see that?" You can say, "Yeah, obviously." Follow NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour wherever you get your podcasts. [upbeat music] In I Love Boosters, Keke Palmer is the ringleader of a shoplifting crew that squares off with an unethical fashion CEO played by Demi Moore. Now, that alone should be enough of a selling point, but then there's this. It's the long-awaited follow-up from Boots Riley, the bizarro visionary behind the great social satire of our times, Sorry To Bother You. And true to Riley's form, if you think you know how Boosters is gonna play out, you don't even know the half of it. It might be his most offbeat and delightfully unhinged project yet. I'm Aisha Harris, and today we're talking about I Love Boosters on Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.
