“It’s not about the algorithms, it’s about friendship.” Gravitas has revealed the trailer for a mockumentary comedy called Bootyology. When a documentary crew looks to explore the relationship between artificial intelligence and pop music, their journey takes an unexpected turn when they stumble across a mystery involving the disappearance of an infamous rap duo. The film is a lyrical satire following the re-discovery of The Booty Boys, who disappeared in the early 2000s. It’s another riff on music docs, kind of like the genius Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. From the musical minds behind District 78, Bootyology is inspired by real-life rap act “The Booty Boys” formed by Chris “brownEye” Lightbody & Spencer “sixxxHole” Yaras. The duo is bringing their colorful characters back to center stage in this searing but heartfelt satire of the music industry and the true costs of chasing stardom. Featuring music by The Booty Boys and an original score by District 78. Also starring Brian Austin Green, Andy Kindler, David Thuene, Patrice Covington, and Alysha Young. This looks like it might be fun, a wacky riff on pop music and rap culture.
