Boys Go to Jupiter

Directed by Julian Glander
United States
2024
87 mins

Julian Glander’s style is all his own, featured everywhere from the New Yorker to Adult Swim, and now a perfect match for the humid surrealism of Florida in Boys Go To Jupiter.

Set during the liminal period between Christmas and New Year’s, the film follows a week in the life of teenage delivery driver Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett) as he tries to out-smart the gig economy. After a routine dropoff, Billy becomes the caretaker of a mysterious egg that hatches an alien creature.

Through ridiculous humor, plenty of heart and a stellar voice cast (Comedic all stars Julio Torres, Sarah Sherman, Cole Escola, & Janeane Garofalo to name a few) Billy navigates the difficult choices of life, love and money that come along with becoming the unwelcomed parent of an alien creature.
