I LOVE BOOSTERS Review + OBSESSION, TUNER, STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU and More | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 34

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/G3feBpp3_FY

Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. are grabbing their biggest oversized tote bags and hitting the racks for their review of Boots Riley's highly anticipated, wild heist flick, I LOVE BOOSTERS.

Ray and Tre'vell get into the nitty-gritty of the film's execution, unpacking how Riley handles this chaotic ring of shoplifters through the Black gaze and whether the Keke Palmer-led caper actually gives what it's supposed to give or if the signature weirdness misses the mark. Tune in for their hella honest verdict: is this high-stakes fashion takedown a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?"

Ray also empties his bag with a few "Fresh Out" capsule reviews, sharing his quick thoughts on the new films Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu, Obsession, and Tuner.

Plus, the hosts play a special "The Blackbuster Bankroll" edition of the Black Cinema Games, highlighting the biggest box office performers from the lead cast of I Love Boosters. Finally, they close the show with Good Vibes Only, sharing what's bringing them joy this week.
