Lakeith is beautiful

[@okamifang4059]

Inside and out

[@sebhasmovies9430]

a truly disturbing and hilarious dark comedy film. some nightmarish images mixed brilliantly with humor and satire filled with symbolism. and a scene of pure, pure horror.

[@s_yash]

Steven is so articulate and down to earth.

[@pambennett8967]

This really kicked down a door in Hollywood. Now all kinds of scripts that would have been rejected out of hand have a shot. Thank you thank you thank you all

[@sheilaorangd1967]

The film appears to be like the same old Hollywood the same old pictures that are made for black people to go see so that they can laugh at themselves and some of the parts aren't funny when you go see this if you go see it and you're doing some of those things that's in the film stop it I will not go and see the film because there's too many people out here in the black communities that act like that and I'm sad

[@danny.nedelk0]

Sheila Orangd You didn't even see the movie and you already have this misconstrued idea about it?!? This movie is unlike anything you're seen before regardless of the skin of the actors. So go watch that.

[@nathanreiber6819]

@@sheilaorangd1967 i kinda wanted to check in and see if you changed your mind on this. it sounds like you assumed its like the wayans bros movies or something. this movie is literally about people organizing for revolution and not at all about exploiting racial stereotypes for comedy. where did you get that idea?

[@nathanreiber6819]

just wanting to further clarify. this is literally the opposite of what you described.

[@Yoyodotcom]

I’ve never seen a cast so genuinely close like this before, they don’t even have to say “Yeah we got along great” because it truly looks like they’ve known each other F O R E V E R ugh I stan & I only came for Tessa

[@christophermorris3003]

[@cosmas4108]

Well done interview.Excellent crew,Boots is brilliant.

[@okamifang4059]

I didn't realize how much the trailer gave away

[@hughcorduroy6590]

Boots Riley looks like Ludacris when he was popping and sounds like Katt Williams when he was in My Wife & Kids

[@4DaFam]

Hugh Corduroy 🤣🤣🤣

[@42flyingphish]

Hah fuckin spot on

[@deljean]

I was thinking Carl Anthony Payne aka Cole from Martin.

[@timafiggy]

he reminds me of Rollo from Sanford and son

[@pambennett8967]

It was an incredible relief to see such a film. Finally something real

[@pamdemonia]

Just saw this wonderful, hilarious movie. So good!

[@sampsonraysimon]

I adore this cast.

[@tallllkiddddddd]

Tessa Thompson is a different kinda fine!! Pure beauty

[@allgoingwell]

I love Tessa's acting in this movie. Damn.

[@serenitybeats1677]

Tessa seems so nice

[@earlgaytea]

lol jermaine saying "steven yeun? steven mm!" and tessa saying he's hot at 15:00 made him blush

[@eastcoastblaxican4454]

18:43 Yes I am that 18 year old kid showing my friends this movie at every instant possible 😭

[@HopeVideoEdits]

I love what Tessa Thompson said in response to the young man's question, "Love it in you, not you in it." 29:20

[@sheilaorangd1967]

I understand that the actors need money and that they need to show they crab I do understand that but it's off the backs of the black community and what people see go on in the black community some of it is funny some of it is very sad that some of these people within the community you can make a movie about the people of the community and then you go and live in your comfortable house so remember when you lay down at night get up in the morning eat your food it's the black community that paid you off

[@sheilaorangd1967]

I was trying to say they like to show or they need to show they crafts but not on the backs and the laughter on people that go to see the film that are only going to laugh they don't know that actually laughing at themselves and some of the laughter it's sad I'm sorry I have to be such a Debbie Downer what starts to make films that enhance your people not put them down

[@selalewis9189]

The interviewer is asking good questions and make good insights himself.

[@pambennett8967]

Terrifying to hear about the homeless camps. You can see them from Bart. They’re in every city. I heard they stretch for miles in Orange County. Meanwhile 6 empty homes for every homeless person that’s been foreclosed on because of the false scarcity our corparatist capitalist model we are a part of unwillingly right now

[@jenniefeyen544]

Very well said, and very terrifying.

[@rhondagaddy9344]

Good Job boots!! And Lakieth! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 The girl is strange. The movie was funny and enjoyable.

[@djnkosi]

Excellent movie. Can't wait to see it again. Great interview / conversation here.

[@khyreestargell7548]

My favorite mutiny Boots Riley been a genius

[@SLAMMINnJAMMIN247]

Shout out to Jermaine Fowler rockin the Power Rangers long sleeve!

[@2008israelramos]

I love this kind of movie; The big explosion, car chase scene, CGI, and superhero movies are just so hollow.

[@42flyingphish]

Loved this movie. Truly inspirational and fun cast, this movie will most likely become a cult classic, it's scary to think some of things in the movie might actually exist in the future.

[@frankshifreen]

Great show- great interview- and so interesting to see the cast- It reminds me - and dates me- Robert Downey Srs movies in the 60s's -Putney Swope for instance

[@jannabee3314]

Why hasn't this got a UK release date yet 😣😭

[@judyjudy4122]

Brilliant movie! Funny, visually compelling, horrifying...

[@dexplorerz]

First comment! 🤗 Can’t wait to see this film.

[@lobosolo]

Movie was gasss

[@wavyhov1050]

Boots Riley and Katt Williams should do a movie where they're brothers.

[@ashleyhinton9533]

the movie was much more ominous than the trailer!! 😂😂

[@smolchilli1712]

lmaoo Ricky coming through with that deep cultural analysis while Boots is like "yeah...", that's why he's my favourite interviewer

[@pr0xykill978]

Bee Mo Difference is Boots actually knows what he's talking about

Bootsy Riley looks and sounds like a lightskin version of Kat Williams

[@aubindyer1254]

But Katt Williams is lightskin too.

[@aubindyer1254]

I agree about the voice though.

Tyler Johnson yeah but Boots is lighter

Terry Crews has looked the same since Everybody Hates Chris

[@toneriggz]

The site of the old MLB Fancave. I saw Nas perform in that same spot in 2012. I wish I knew about this interview last month, I would have gone. The film is incredible, I want to see it again but I might see Blindspotting first. The Bay Area is winning right now, wake up NY!

Is Tessa's dress rip accidental or intentional? I just don't know.

I think Boots took offense to that second audience question.

[@sheilaorangd1967]

It may seem like art to an artist but it just another movie and exploitation movie on black people I want some positive movies I know that in today's world that people don't want to see positive movies with black people in it they want to see all the black stereotypes and I'm a little bit tired of seeing it because I see it everyday Wherever I Go among black people so I don't need to go to the movies and pay to see it that have to be a motive to the movie not Robin female bashing skin coloring and black people making making a fool out of themselves I would like to see something positive and a movie from the beginning the middle and the end that we are all as black people not fools and all we need to do is laugh at each other or laughed at
