Sorry to Bother You - The Absurdity of Exploitation

Published: March 2, 2021, 11 a.m.

Where do we start?\n

What is Sorry to Bother You About? It's hard to explain, but Don and Chuck navigate their way through it, anyway. Directory Boots Riley gives us a story of exploitation, telemarketers, and horse people in an absurdist social commentary comedy with great performances by LaKeith Stanfield and Tessa Thompson. Don and Chuck talk about exploitation, slave labor, and corporatism, but not before figuring out their newest emo band name. Don promised this one would be more of a palate cleanser after last week's Judas and the Black Messiah. So, if nothing more, listen to help Chuck tell Don he was wrong.
