Stemming from his 2012 record with The Coup and 2014 McSweeney's paperback, Boots Riley's 2018 feature debut has become more hilarious and incisive satires in subsequent years. In an alt-history Oakland, rent-seeking Cash (LaKeith Stanfield) stumbles into a telemarketer gig, only to find that his code-switching brilliance has put him on an express elevator to the top. Torn between class solidarity, the love of his radical artist girlfriend (Tessa Thompson), and his new Bay Area elite lifestyle, Cash finds himself on a journey through a capitalist dystopia that's both curious and strange.
