Us (w/ Ashley Thomas)

We were talking a little bit before the show proper started, and I said in the Get Out episode that all the Peele movies are new to me.

Since I started the podcast, I've been intentionally withholding on watching them, whereas you went headfirst into us in 2019.

Yeah, yeah.

I really became a fan of Jordan Peele's work after I saw Get Out.

I was just blown away by that film.

I missed it in the theater, you know, caught it on streaming or I rented the DVD.

I don't remember which, but I was just like, wow, what a brilliant movie.

And I really like this guy's directorial style.

I'm really curious to see, you know, what he can do.

And so I kind of jumped full force when I saw Us in the theater.

I'm trying to remember the circumstances.

I believe at the time I had MoviePass.

So I was able to get in on the cheap or something like that.

Actually, no, I'm going to rewind.

I did not have MoviePass at that point.

um what happened was i had a friend who was a manager at a theater theater chain and uh he got us in for cheap or free oh i

played i played that game back in 2009 2010 where we had a friend that was a manager and just saw

yeah

it's like do we want to see that why not

I mean,

this one is like in Japan.

I don't think I don't think the Jordan Peele movies have had much traction.

I mean, they are very well steeped in, you know, America stuff.

Right.

Yeah.
