If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend #SorryToBotherYou, 2018, #DirectedBy #BootsRiley.

If its commentary on #race, #capitalism, #art, and, presciently, #unions and #WorkerRights don't hook you, then seeing #ArmieHammer play what we now know is a fairly true-to-life version of himself might be what you need to be convinced (#NiggaShit).

Too bad #Boots' new show is going to #AmazonPrime, but I hope his projects do well.

#ImAVirgo, by #BootsRiley on #Amazon sounds as weird and interesting as his earlier #SorryToBotherYou and is apparently another commentary on the condition of the average working person, along with #race, and #revolution.

Sadly, it'll be a while before I can watch it because I canceled #Prime at the end of last year and have zero plans to ever rejoin.
