Camps, outdoor community events, fundraisers at ice cream shops, we have all the summer options in this week’s Out & About. We’re also featuring Hunter Friesen’s review of “I Love Boosters,” which might be one of the most creatively unhinged movies of the year.

“I Love Boosters” Is Creativity Without Restraint
By: Hunter Friesen
Is it possible for a movie to suffer from too much creativity? That sounds like a silly question, like asking if a field can suffer from having too many flowers, or if a painting can have too many colors. Creativity is where cinema is born, the driving force that shapes an idea into moving images and sound. Without it, all our screens would be blank, their lack of intrinsic value exposed as they cast our listless expressions back at us.
With only one previous feature film to his name, 2018's “Sorry to Bother You,” multi-hyphenate Boots Riley certainly has a boundless amount of creativity. Its absurdist plot featured no less than African-American telemarketers using their "white voice" to make better sales, human-horse hybrids, and a revolution centered around workers' rights. Only one of those three things returns in Riley's newest feature, “I Love Boosters,” and it's not the things that require you to change your voice or grow hooves.
