I hadn&#8217;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&#8217;s all about the three F&#8217;s, Fashion. Forward. Philanthrophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"358\" data-attachment-id=\"22726\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mywalkabout.net\/?attachment_id=22726\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/my-walkabout-6a12f23696d6e.png?fit=1376%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1376,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Avant-garde dark fantasy runway fashion\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;The image depicts a fashion runway show featuring models wearing avant-garde, dark fantasy-inspired costumes.
