boots rileys i love booster (2026) is a surreal, anti-capitalist satirical comedy about the “Velvet Gang” – Corbett (Kiki Palmer), Sade (Naomi Ackie), and Mariah (Taylor Page) – who steal and redistribute high-end fashion from a ruthless designer, Christy Smith (Demi Moore). The plot intensifies when the crew hires a defector (Poppy Liu) with a “magic bag” to carry out a major heist, turning their shoplifting into a broader sci-fi-tinged crusade against wealth inequality.
