idk if anyone else noticed but i love that the protagonist of I Love Boosters' name is Cassandra but she goes by Corvette and the protagonist of Sorry to Bother You is called Cassius but he goes by Cash. both are people who have their identity taken over by being good at what they do, except Cassandra struggles with being seen as anything other than her lavish lifestyle (i.e. her nickname being a literal sports car) and Cassius essentially cuts away all of his ties with the people and culture around him and becomes nothing more than a stand-in for money and all the negative stuff associated with it
#idk.... idk#i love boosters#sorry to bother you#this is like half baked analysis i noticed they had basically the same name and then i was like ohhhhhhhh what does this mean#boots riley#smth smth interesting that the character played by lakeith stanfield (who doesnt have a name) in i love booster relates to cassandra and#thinks they have the same loneliness#interesting.....
