Rivka and Frank are joined by musician, activist, screenwriter, and director Boots Riley for a discussion about his film debut — the 2018 satire set in the world of telemarketing, Sorry to Bother You. Boots talks about his creative process, including his personal experience working in the telemarketing industry. They also discuss the depiction of organized labor in the film, how the story feels even more relevant in 2023 than it did five years ago, and how we could see a resurgence of “company towns” like the WorryFree Corporation.A rough transcript of the episode is available here.Next week’s movie is Amy Heckerling's 1995 teen comedy classic and consumerism satire Clueless. To access MVC PREMIUM EPISODES or LEAVE US A TIP click here.
