Where to watch: Hulu
Premise: The film follows a young black telemarketer who adopts a white accent to succeed at his job. Swept into a corporate conspiracy, he must choose between profit and joining his activist friends to organize labor.
Cast: Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, Omari Hardwick, Terry Crews, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Danny Glover, Steven Yeun, and Armie Hammer
What it reminds me of: Nothing, absolutely nothing . And that is why you should watch it.
Why I like it: Lakeith Stanfield and Tessa Thompson are some of the best actors around these days. And the supporting cast is very strong. This movie may look like a straight comedy from the trailer, but the movie goes down so many different paths filled with twists and turns. If I spoiled the movie for you right now, you wouldn’t believe it. This movie is a mix of black comedy, satire, sci-fi, body horror, and more.
The film just hit Hulu, so if you have an account you can watch it for free on there.
