Memorial Day weekend features several new entertainment releases. Boots Riley returns with a surreal comedy that follows professional shoplifters led by Keke Palmer, who become involved in a conflict with a girlboss fashion CEO played by Demi Moore. Nicolas Cage reprises Spider-Noir in a live-action series as private investigator Ben Reilly, set in 1930s New York, where he considers reviving his superhero persona. The series releases in both black-and-white and full-color versions. Another upcoming show from the Duffer brothers is set in a Florida-inspired retirement community and centers on older actors encountering supernatural trouble. Rick and Morty also debuts a ninth season.
"Boots Riley's follow-up to his 2018 directorial debut, Sorry to Bother You, is even funnier, stranger, and sharper in its critique of capitalism. The surreal comedy is about a group of professional shoplifters, led by Keke Palmer, who get drawn into a war with a girlboss fashion CEO played by Demi Moore."
"Marvel's Spider-Noir character was voiced by Nicolas Cage in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and here he gets central placement in a live-action series. Cage plays private investigator Ben Reilly, who's struggling to scrape together a living in 1930s New York when he realizes that he should bring back the superhero persona he inhabited years before. The series will be released in both black-and-white and full-color versions. The former looks absolutely gorgeous."
"It's not a surprise that the next Duffer brothers series is more than a little like Stranger Things, but this has enough new DNA to be its own thing. Set in a sprawling retirement community inspired by Florida's the Villages, it lets a stellar group of older actors (Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Bill Pullman) stumble into some supernatural business."
