I think the line I laughed hardest at went something like "cynthia rose, who went viral with the video "have a cola and smile, bitch," has just signed a recording contract worth the equivalent of four white children."

I think my favorite bit of magical realism was the ever-changing photo of Cash's father.

I remember goons having a nice chuckle over ghost riding the whip back in the day, so I was smiling like an idiot when Mistah F.A.B. himself showed up for a cameo.

I've heard here and elsewhere about the movie being a bleak or cynical outlook on efforts to confront problems and effect change, but the segment of this interview with DN more suggests an optimism on the part of Boots:

tl;dw : People confronted with socioeconomic problems may want them to change but feel too small to do it themselves, so they don't respond, but it's not utter apathy. His optimism is that displays of solidarity movements like within movie reaching mainstream audiences may help to grow them to the point where people feel that there's something to be done.
