BOYS GO TO JUPITER - Pittsburgh Premiere

A few months ago while reading Variety I came across an cast announcement for an upcoming animated film featuring Joe Pera, Julio Torres, Sarah Sherman, Chris Fleming, Max Wittert, Cole Escola, Grace Kuhlenschmidit and more - and I said to Gracie "wow, could a movie be more Bottlerocket-coded than this?"
Turns out, no! Because, not only did the film feature some of our favorite performers, but the director (Julian Glander) was actually LIVING IN Pittsburgh and VERY ACTIVELY attending shows at Bottlerocket!! After we connected, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to host the Pittsburgh premiere, an event made even more wonderful by the chance to invite Julio Torres to join us for a Q&A before his own Bottlerocket solo shows that evening!
I hope you'll join us for what promises to be a very fun afternoon with a very charming film filled with dry humor, lo-fi musical numbers, and various grub.
BOYS GO TO JUPITER
Set in the liminal period between Christmas and New Year’s, the story follows the adventures of Billy 5000 ( Jack Corbett ), a teenage gig worker with a rise-and-grind mindset whose quest to make $5,000 is derailed by the appearance of a gelatinous little dude from outer space.
Using the power of lo-fi musical numbers and deadpan comedy, Billy must save the creature and his family from the evil schemes of the Dolphin Groves Juice Company. The voice cast — which also includes Julio Torres, Sarah Sherman, Joe Pera, Cole Escola and Elsie Fisher — is a who’s who of weirdo comedy all-stars, adding to the charmingly strange vibe.
PRAISE FOR THE FILM
“ Bizarre, hilarious, and boasting refreshingly distinct animation, Boys Go to Jupiter is a wonderfully absurd experience.” -Mashable
“A memorable standout... The video game-like musical comedy marries gummy 3-D graphics and stoned-guy humor with sly commentary on hustle culture and the gig economy. ” -The New York Times
“If Stand by Me, ET, and The LEGO Movie had a baby it would be Julian Glander's Boys Go to Jupiter (and that’s a good thing)” -Popverse
