43: Sorry to Bother You (2018) "It All Comes Back to the Horse People"

Why the Flick?

Heyyyy horse girlies. We’ve got a flick that’s sure to scratch that horse itch you’ve been having. Sorry to Bother You (2018) might seem like a surreal acid trip, but it’s actually more accurate to real life than you think — like scarily accurate. Joining us on this weird, wild ride are Matt and Nicole from After the Kid Goes Down. We get into the movie’s timeless commentary on labor, racism, corporate capitalism, and the American Dream, with a little equestrian sci-fi thrown into the mix. For a movie that came out 5 years ago, we can’t help but wonder if Boots Riley is a prophet.
