A Booster is a person, action or device that increases power, effectiveness, or support. In slang, Boosters refers to shoplifters who steal high end items then resell them at reasonable prices.
A new independent movie was released this weekend from director Boots Riley. I hadn’t seen their previous films, but I needed to cleanse my palate after watching the corporate slop that Disney released the day before, and so I was looking forward to a weird, crazy and unique film. I love Boosters delivered on all cylinders in that regard. It’s all about the three F’s, Fashion. Forward. Philanthrophy.
All about Corporate greed and capitalism gone to the extremes, with Robin Hood type urban women trying to get ahead by taking from the riches excesses of the fashion industry to help their own communities, and marginalized communities around the world. The movie was over the top, unashamedly bold in it’s style and message, and just all around a freaky good time in the theater.
