Boys Go to Jupiter presents the life of Billy, who works for a food delivery service while navigating the gig economy after dropping out of high school. Set between Christmas and New Year's, Billy aims to earn $5,000 but finds joy in his mundane life with friends instead. The film showcases the colorful suburbs of Florida, contrasting the characters' ennui with vivid animation. It serves as an anti-capitalist coming-of-age story, focusing on youth grappling with their roles in the economy amidst a fantastical environment.
"Have a Grubby day!" is a frequent refrain in Julian Glander's Boys Go to Jupiter. It's the catchphrase for Grubster, a Grubhub-esque food-delivery service for which Billy works, reflecting his life's humiliations in the gig economy.
The film follows Billy around as he tries to net $5,000 by the New Year, yet he enjoys skateboarding and relaxing at the beach with friends, revealing that he already leads a rich life.
