It’s the day after Christmas in suburban Florida, and Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett) and his friends drift through the sun-bleached limbo between holidays by slacking, shoplifting, and beatboxing. In between sneaking into pools and zoning out on the beach, Billy hustles for tips on the food-on-demand app Grubster, determined to make exactly $5,000 before New Year’s Eve. As he zigzags across town on his hoverboard delivering fast food to a cast of oddball locals, a routine drop-off at the Dolphin Groves Juice Company leads to an unexpected reunion with Rozebud (Miya Folick), his childhood crush, and a mysterious alien creature named Donut that’s stowed away in his backpack. The surprise encounter sets off a surreal chain of events that puts Billy in the crosshairs of Dr. Dolphin (Janeane Garofalo), a ruthless juice mogul who will stop at nothing to reclaim her extraterrestrial property. Directed by Julian Glander in his signature tactile, lo-fi CGI style, Boys Go to Jupiter transforms the sprawl of suburban Florida into a pastel purgatory of empty strip malls, algorithmic music, and adolescent yearning. What begins as a quest for financial freedom slowly evolves into an offbeat odyssey of love, labor, and late-capitalist absurdity, as Billy is forced to decide how far he’ll go to protect his friends—and his future. With its deadpan humor, musical detours, and deeply felt strangeness, the film reimagines the coming-of-age comedy as a vapor-soaked fable for the burnout generation. directed by: Julian Glander starring: Jack Corbett, Tavi Gevinson, Elsie Fisher, Janeane Garofalo, Grace Kuhlenschmidt, Miya Folick, Julio Torres, Joe Pera, Sarah Sherman, Cole Escola, Eva Victor, Chris Fleming, River L Ramirez, Max Wittert & Demi Adejuyigbe 2024 / 87 min / 1.78:1 / English DTS-HD MA 2.0 Additional info: Region Free Blu-ray Julian Glander Short Films: Street Demon (2014) Bloop's Birthday (2016) Skybaby (2018) Working Myself Into a Puddle (2024) Music Videos: Winter Citrus No Batteries Egg Song Beverages Have Different Flavors Commentary with Julian Glander, Peisin Yang Lazo and Max Wittert Trailer English SDH, Spanish, French, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, German, Italian, Polish subtitles
