'Sorry to Bother You' Is Great Science Fiction, People

The new film Sorry to Bother You has been widely praised by critics, but writer Evan Narcisse is frustrated that it's not getting the credit it deserves as a visionary work of science fiction. "The headline of my review on io9 was'Sorry to Bother You Is the Most Surreal, Important SciFi Movie in Years,'" Narcisse says in Episode 323 of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast. "And I actually believe that. I believed it when I wrote it in March, I believe it now, and I believe it's going to be that way for years to come." Geek's Guide to the Galaxy host David Barr Kirtley agrees that Sorry to Bother You derives much of its power from its wild science fiction imagery, a point that the film's director, Boots Riley, has made in interviews.
