Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon dive into Jordan Peele’s sci-fi horror spectacle NOPE (2022), starring Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out, Black Panther), Keke Palmer (Good Fortune), Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead, Minari), Brandon Perea (The OA), and Michael Wincott (The Crow, Westworld). We break down the mysterious UFO (Jean Jacket), the Gordy’s Home chimp attack, the shoe standing upright, the themes of spectacle addiction, Hollywood exploitation, animal symbolism, and the legacy of trauma. We react to iconic scenes like “What’s a bad miracle?”, OJ staring down the alien without eye contact, Jupe’s Star Lasso Experience massacre, the final balloon showdown, and Keke Palmer yelling “Let’s go!” We discuss Jordan Peele’s influences from Spielberg’s Jaws & Close Encounters, Akira motorcycle slide homage, religious undertones, animal control metaphors, and the commentary on fame consumption. We talk about how NOPE connects to Get Out and Us, Steven Yeun’s tragic backstory, and whether Jean Jacket is a monster or a god. Join us as we analyze deeper meanings, hidden details, visual metaphors, UFO design secrets, and give our full review of one of the most unique horror films ever made.

Just kidding.

I'm good, actually. I got my pink sweater on. I feel a little tired. Like when I was driving here, I was like, why don't. I have a freaking headache. And then I took, you know, those caffeine, aspirin pills? I do. I used to take them before the gym.

Yeah, okay. So I took one of those, but like five minutes ago. And then I also took an ibuprofen because sometimes when you mix them, it can really, it can get in there. So we'll see. And correction when you were speeding over here, not driving over here. It's true. You were racing over here. Let's get the facts straight here, Tara.

And you were a very good racer. I think you should be in a Fast and Furious Rebo one day, just saying. I was just going to say that. And Flash Gordon, I was like literally put me in the Fast of Fury. He's like, I know how to drive a manual. He has seen me derive and I head up to the metal, baby. You were like literally, you should have the name Flash. Dot me.

I mean, like the way you drive, you know, Tara Erickson. It's true. How are you? You know, it's not like freezing cold so I don't have to get out. But, you know, it's, yeah, I'm good. But, yeah, I'm excited to see this. I really enjoyed that film, actually, get out with Greg. I don't know the release date of the films, you know, never do.

So I don't know if that's already come out, but if it has, I hope you guys enjoyed that reaction with Greg and I. So I think this is like a larger world that stepped into here with Jordan Pellon, Peel, rather. I know he's only had three films, but I'm excited to, you know, see another film. I think he's got a lot of deep layers and thought-provoking themes that he likes to invoke and just very smart. a writer and great director of other actors. And, yeah, I'm excited to see what we got in store here. Andrew did a pre-review just now. I was that?

I don't know. I was just talking. I was like, I was like, how are you? And the director and bujuba-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-a-d-d-d-d-a-d-d-d-a-d-a-l. How are you doing, Tara? How's your headache? How's your headache? How's your caffeine pills?

How's everything? And how's the director doing and all that. Just, just, just. We are here and we're doing it. And if you're not already on Patreon, I would love for you to get over there. It helps keep us here, keep the lights on. Go on Patreon and be like,

it was Tara and Andrew that made me sign up. And then our bosses will be like, wow, they're so cool. But also, you get 15% off, reject nation shop.com, all of the gear. And also, you get a full week in advance of the schedule. She gets to send us questions.

Anything we're watching, we go straight to those questions, helps feed our review. Greg and John are for exclusive highlights over there, which is great. And follow us at Real Rejects everywhere. I told the people, Tara, the shirt, the next evolution of them needs to actually say ring the bell,

but batteries are not going to be included. Oh, I love that. I should do that. Ring the bell. Ring the bell? Yeah. I'm just like, we'll patent it. We'll copyright it.

And I get to be your manager because I came up with the idea. Okay, I like that. Yeah, you get 2%. I'll take any percent. Sounds good to me. I thought he was going to fight me back on that. Three, two, one. I clicked it.

I will cast one of the filth at you, make you vile, and make you something else. Okay, now I'm back, guys. What is going on here? Jesus. Oh. Oh. Okay. Is this on set or did it eat the whole studio audience?

I love that it says monkey pop production And now it's Oh God, I think it ate it Oh God It was looking at us, Andrew Oh, but it's so cute I know, but I thought it was going to like Ra! Take off at us

Like a 3D effect? Yeah I wonder if this is After that monkey event at the studio Or is this before and we're doing non-linear storytelling, Tara. Aw. It's a well-trained horse.

Good boy. Oh, he's Daniel Kulia. I probably mispronouncing because it's me, but he was in Get Out, of course. Oh, he's such a good actor. I think it's Keith David, right? Or did I say it the wrong way?

We got to bring us back for the sequel. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. He's over it. No more horses. So just execute. We ain't got no more problems. I really like this Western type of tone a little bit.

You good? You good? He seems bored. Where are your sister? What's that about? She's bored to be here. Yeah. Just in the first two minutes,

Daniel Kulia's character seems very quiet and reserved. You just feel that though. It seems a little tired. A little like, oh, I'm here. I literally have no clue what this movie's about. Me neither. No idea. Oh, God, what is that? What is that? I don't know, but it looks like the clouds are coming closer.

Oh, no, what, what? What? Oh, God, is it birds? Is it hail? I don't know. It's birds. Oh, no, please horses don't die. No, I can't. I can't with that. I can't with that. Oh, it's like metal. Yeah, it's not going to be good for horses. Oh, no. Oh, the dad. Oh, the dad. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, my God.

Is it like bullets? I don't know, but it's... I hate this. That sucks. He doesn't... He's not real... Nope. Tell you that much.

This sucks. That's a wild way to go. What the hell was that? Oh, my God. He's bleeding badly. Oh. Oh, wow. Oh, no way he survived that.

I mean, that was a lot of loss of blood. He was bleeding out. Oh, my God. Dude, what the hell? What is the dot right there? Is it stuck in his eye? It's like a coin. It looks like a coin, no?

Oh, it is a coin. Oh, my God. that's what's falling out of the sky holy shit this is wild this is whack it looked like that way and then that way i was like that's why i deduce it looked like a coin oh was dad's horse i'm glad it wasn't hurt oh it was hurt i don't like it what's this key for it nope nope nope is right get me out of here i'd be so scared to be going that fast on a horse you would I bet you could probably go from trot to to

I could go as slow speed but not that fast I'd be too I'd be too scared to fall off I think you could handle it I'd nah you have too much faith in me my team's almost here your team's not here okay sorry I got the horse guy talking to me too what's up

ladies and gentlemen this is so real to set like the first AD is like everyone's coming at me right now all right They train the horses. You remember these guys from Plashpoint.

So dismissive of all the other people on set. Your name is OJ? Her name is, oh, God. Did you see how she just said that? Oh, God. I hate everything. Associating him with Peter O.J. No, no, no.

He died. Oh, no. A bunch of random shit. I was playing. So I guess we're stuck with Junior. No. No, he said no. What?

It's his son, bro. what is your problem? Let's have this conversation like he's not in listening distance. Yeah, like he's invisible. There's Michael Wincott. Bad guy from the crow. Let's go ahead and spin the horse.

And now I'm saying spin. Let's go. You step away from bed, please. Hey told me to come here. Call, OJ. Oh my God, someone's going to get bucked. He's telling you what to do for safety purposes. Listen to the damn trainer.

Take it away. So annoying when you don't listen to the professionals. I said we are animal wranglers with Haywood Hollywood horses and did you know the very first I'm so sorry about this. I'm sorry brother. Oh. Hello. How y'all doing?

My name is Emerald. That's O.J. And we are your animal wranglers today with Haywood Hollywood horses. I love her personality already. Did you know that the very first assembly of photographs and sequential order to create a motion picture was a two-second clip of a black man on horse? Yes, it was. Now, I know you guys know Edward Moorbridge, the grandfather of motion pictures

who took the pictures that created that clip. But does anybody know the name of the black jockey that rolled to horse? I definitely don't. No. I mean, the very first stunt man, Animal Rangler, and movie star all rolled into one, and there is literally no record of black man.

Is this me trying to do my trivia Tara and shit? Yes. Okay. So I'm fun like this. I get it. It's my great, great grandfather. Great. There's another great grandfather. And that's Tara looking at me do it.

Trainers in Hollywood, we like to say since the moment pitchers could move. We ask in the game. Please refrain from making any loud, noises, sudden movements, and keep your cell phones off. We'd really appreciate that, too. If you see anything that looks or feels unsafe, contact me, OJ, or your second and chain of command. And let's have a great shoot. Woo, let's do it. Well, Heywood, I direct, write, produce, act.

Hey. Hey. I love how ambitious she is. Just hi, lady. Great job. She had two very long takes. I mean, rehearsal. We should.

We should do one. They're kind of polar opposites. For sure. O.J. and Emerald. What's the horse's name? Uh, he loves it. Sluggy. The horse's name is Friday.

Dude, M needs to get over here. Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, if she comes to you. Dude, don't stand behind. Oh, this is not going to be good. Yep, there we go. Called that. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That sucks. I mean, yeah, when you don't listen to the person, it's going to happen. And now he's going to get blamed for it. He's a great stunt. Maybe it's just too soon. It's not the gig. Not ready yet. Thank you for the opportunity.

Come on now. Oh, where's the effects? All right. You got it. That sucks. My little girl said, you know, I could crash at her place, so I'll be going in the morning. Someone will drive you back tomorrow? I can find a ride.

Hmm. But I mean. like, can I get fun O.J. out this bitch? Because this white-ass O.J. is really making me feel like I'm not loved. Heywood's Hollywood horses. Agua Doche Canyon. Is that like the Valencia area or am I in the wrong,

thinking in the wrong area? No, you're right. It is up towards that area like north. Sweet, I know my directions around here after living here my whole life. I'm glad. It's a really beautiful horse. Hmm.

It's been this for three years. It's a really beautiful horse. It's lucky. They ain't tight. I'll be back. Hmm. You can tell he's dealing with a lot of weight of the pain and trauma of loss and grief.

How many you sold? How many? I know that feeling all too much. Ten. You sold Ten of Pop's horses? I want to get him back. Can you stay out here? Why?

in a business relationship and your liability right now. How am I a liability? How are you alive? Don't promote your side shit on the job. Oh, my God. Right. It doesn't look that great, but first of all, that's not my side shit.

This is. And second of all, if anybody's a liability. Mm. Thanks for coming out. How you doing? This is my sister, Em. Hi there. Oh, him.

Is that Stephen Yoon? I believe so. You literally the age of kid from kids here? Yeah, I was a little Jew. Oh, dude, you were literally my favorite. You mind if I get a picture real quick? Hey, you mind if we talk? Yes, of course.

Please browse away. Sue Casa as me, Casa. Thank you. That's your will. Your house is my house? Is that what you just said? Same deal, yeah? 115.

Yeah, thank you. It's 3D. Whatever happened to that black boy? I mean, it was good. Oh my God. As you wanted to play some groundwork. uh to a pathway of uh buying some of the bay oh yeah yeah actually oh there it is yo wait a minute so yeah was real this is in reference to the gorty's home instead

gorty's home yeah that's the 40's home is the short-lived but able to come i started in 96 after kid sheriff blew up yeah my pops told me about the shoulder the monkey went crazy See us some shit. I usually charge a fee for this. Oh, oh, cool. Tadda. Oh, it's probably stuff from the set or something. Ah.

This is, it's a interesting blend of comedy, sci-fi, horror, and suspense. Yeah. And Western. Gordy's home began airing in the fall of 96, and it was an immediate hit. Ratings were huge, pretty good reviews, just really took off. Mm. Then one day, we went. We were shooting an episode in season two entitled Gordy's birthday, and, um, boom.

It's one of the chips that plays Gordy just hit his limit. Mm-hmm. It was six minutes and 13 seconds. Whoa, that's a long time. It was a spectacle. People are just obsessed. You're kidding. You said you heard about that?

Mm-hmm. That's why they don't let you use chimps. That's part of the reason. Wow. There's a growing Gordy's home fan base out there now. This Dutch couple paid me 50K to come in here and spend the night. Whoa. I didn't ask.

That's crazy. Nope. I'd be like, nope. I know, right? Look at the blood on the show. Wild. Oh, there's the birthday cap. You know?

I mean, I pretty much nailed it better than I could. Daryl Hammond is Tom. Anagostire as Phyllis. Sherry O'Terry is Mary Joelly. Of course, the star of the sketch is Chris. God damn Katan as Gordy. Chris Catan. Let's go.

Knight the Roxbury. Undeniable. Big goes on. Everyone's trying to celebrate Gordi's birthday. These slow push-ins are so great. But every time Gordi hears something about the jungle, Gorda, Catan goes off. Mm. It's Katan.

He's just crushing it. He is a force of nature. He is killing on that stage. Oh. Oh, God. This is him. The real, yeah, the real event. Yeah.

It's legendary. Legendary shit. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead. Look that one up on YouTube details, you know. Totally. I don't know if I'd want to watch that on YouTube personally. Yeah.

So we ain't going to chill tonight, nothing? You want to work? Hell no. A beautiful sunset shot. Is that just called Sunset Shot or Golden Hour? I mean, it's both. So I guess you don't want to see what's good with that liquor cabinet then, huh? That is such a great idea.

I got that hobby weed, too, actually. That's all you had to say then. All you had to say is let me know He should have dropped that at the top You're out What caught how did a coin It was out of a plane That's what they said

I guess that is plausible I distinctly remember Stated right here at this window Watching y'all train my horse Hmm My horse Pops never looked up at me Hmm

Whoa Oh okay come on But you did remember it was scorpion king actually it wasn't a western that was the first job pops took me on scorpion king with the rock

ended up using camels anyways the point is the point that man was hardheaded and so were you that's it but at the end of the day you gotta admit man pops

pops did something when he made this place hmm he changed the industry that's real I can't just let that go yeah that's respectable Why has ghosts in the arena?

What? Oh, he was naming off all the horses' names he must have, when he was dying. Because I was like, why is he saying ghosts, lucky, so he saw the horses? Yeah, I thought he actually saying he saw a ghost originally, but... Yeah. They didn't know the ghost was the name of the horse. Let's go. Hmm.

Yeah. I just hope the monkeys going crazy was not like a foreshadowing of the horse is going crazy or something. Shit like that. Gorgeous shot. I agree with you. Wow, that's really pretty. I'd be like deaf if I were in that house after one minute. Oh boy. Oh, shit.

Oh my God. And we don't have another horse to actually go get ghost. Wait on. I mean, we have a car, but like... What the hell? That light is like... They're here. This feels very supernatural-esque.

Oh, thank God I can hear her again. Oh, no, I can't. Oh, no, I can't. That looks like an alien ship, Tara. I couldn't tell, though. Yeah, that are a blimp moving real fast. Where's going? Oh, no.

Hold on. Boom. Power now. see you for a while please be kind in Rewand they said it was a

private plane or something that killed Pops that shit ain't never made sense to me and tonight I heard a ghost make a sound

I ain't never heard a horse man What did you see Yeah even when I missed and you said that I was like

That didn't make sense I mean it could happen But That's bad How'd be What it looked like I don't know It was fast

Too fast Guessing whatever That thing was Drop that coin Those coins or whatever Are you saying What I think you're saying I mean, man, we don't need a lot.

Fries. I have not been to a fries in forever. It's like also the alien ship is in there, like, which is great. You know, I ain't trying to run it up. I just was looking online and I seen a lot of shit. You know, I'm broke right? We use my money. I wonder if this is the one that's no longer available in Woodland Hills?

Probably. Point is, a website like Cyberdominion. We'll pay $5,000 a hundred gay for photographic evidence of UFOs and shit. A hundred K? And that's just what I saw. on the first go how you doing you look pretty she lets you have a big house oh i love that we don't just go for the quick like how direct she is and she knows what she wants and she's very outgoing i'm saying there's plenty of videos of flying shit online i saw

Generally, I'm calling UFOs anymore. What do they call them? It's fucking UAPs now. Why do you gotta change the name? No, fuck it. I'll tell you why they change the name, because they want to keep us in the dark. Remember when they declassified all that UFO footage a couple years ago?

Yeah. Yeah, well, people started paying attention. So they changed the name to UAPs. No one knows what the fuck a UAP is. I doubt. I saw that that Navy clip Yeah That was crazy

I'm inclined to believe The latter more than the former Ancient aliens I mean We got to assume they've already been invaded Somehow maybe I mean If they're not just being watched right What's that?

Listen, Norse girl. I got a pretty damn superb According to American Cinema Magazine You make the cinematically impossible Well, we're looking for the impossible shot That's like a symbolizing foreshadowing There's something out here in Aguendoza And you're probably the only person in the world

There, it doesn't move. Oh, it doesn't move. Oh, yeah. It's just like hiding in the cloud. Wild. I went back and scrapped through the footage, and that cloud has been right there, at least since I sent the camera's out.

Yeah, no, you mentioned it. Literally hiding in plain sight. So, I mean, that's them in there, and we've been recording it, so we got to. Not really. I wonder if that's directly under, on top of the spot where the dad got hit in the eye with the coin. Hmm. I don't know.

I mean, we have proof of aliens. Um, yeah, I wouldn't call it proof. I mean, it could have been moving in the cloud, but. Look, I've seen crazy weather phenomenons online before. It's all I'm saying. He's right. It doesn't look like that clouds over the arena, but. Oh, yeah.

It's way too far. Yeah, no, you're right. It's way too far. You guys telling me that there's an alien spaceship. In that cloud. That fucking cloud right there. Yes. Yes.

We are saying that. It doesn't move like a ship. What do you mean, O'J? What I'm saying? There's already aliens invaded into other people right now. They've been doing it for decades. Gordy, the monkey? Oh.

Is this a flashback? I want to see what happens. That's jupe. And of course I said it to Icelandic time because we share a love of the Aurora Borealis, Gordy. I don't want to see.

So let me take you back to that first night Tara taught me about this He's a big fan of it Good old peel Right here in this exact spot I come over to wrangle a chestnut horse named Trigger Now, I could barely see my hand in front of my face for the fog.

This is a really well-done monologue, this actor. But I swear on my wife and children's lives that at 6.13 p.m., I see a flying saucer. Oh. Descend through the mist. Old trigger took off straight into the gulch. Well, it's like he was going home. Oh, he's going to let Lucky go, and Lucky's going to run into the...

Oh, at 613. No. Ladies and gentlemen, I kid you not. We are being surveilled by an alien species I call the viewers. No, don't let lie. I know you're getting paid for this, but no. You've yet to emerge from their ship. I believe they trust me.

Oh, my God, creepy. But first, my boy is going to come out, do a little number for us. Would that be all right? Hasel, go, go, go. All right, my little satellite's Colton, Phoenix, Max. I really hope OJ gets there and gets lucky, but I'm worried Tara. Yeah. Oh, what the hell?

These are the lights that he saw. from a far. Remember how they go on and they go off? I think it was his... It's coming out! I see it. It's early. They're calling to me. Whoa! Oh, wow. This is new. They're early. They're ready, we're ready. Welcome to the Star Laso. Oh, Lucky. Lucky's like, hell no. I'm good. You can go.

Bear with us now. Trained animals can be unpredictable. Now it's gone. Not right above. I don't know. Stay in your seats and enjoy the star lasso. It might be right above because this is going to be going up, right? Oh, shit.

Oh, what a way to do the face reveal. Holy crap. Holy crap. Oh, God. Oh, God. Wow. Oh, oh, this is the point of view from inside the actual. Yeah, where we said it looked like an alien, like, earlier.

This is horrifying. Oh, God, and they're stuck in there. It looks like the inside of... Oh, my God. An Anaconda from that movie Anaconda. This is disgusting. Uh... Maybe they'll all come back with aliens inside them or control

because we saw that girl at Frize that we thought was possessed. Maybe, I don't know. Maybe they drop them back off, yeah. Well, we'll have to see, because now this town is barren. so it's like where do they drop them off is that lucky please tell me lucky's okay well they called the monkey earlier gorty

and there is a pig movie from 1995 called gaudy so out yonder what if lucky's still there just in that glass case i'd be totally cool with that but also i'm still worried about all the other people that got swallowed whole yeah they're up there

I know, but I'm just worried that they're going to be put back down and turned to aliens or whatever. Oh, lucky. Oh, good call Tara. Good boy. He's like, I ain't going anywhere. I'm staying in this glass case. See? Those are the lights.

See the lights? That's what we saw from afar. Interesting. Maybe if it stays in that glass, he's protected. If he goes out of the glass, he's not. I don't know. Oh, but he sees it. God, I had no clue this film was going to be about aliens.

Oh, there is. It's moving. It's growing. Maybe it's just safer for lucky to stay put for right now. Shit. Oh. Whoa. Oh my God.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why they thought it was a prop plane. Oh, there's another key. So it's someone's, oh. It's someone stuff in their pockets, their house keys, their chain and the key were, okay, makes more sense. At least they know who's responsible for their father's death. Oh, oh, well, there goes my theory that that Jube was going to be one of them.

well he's one of them now if he's up in there I guess but it looks like they've all been swallowed one I mean yeah wow that is creepy as hell with all the blood running on the house oh wow it's like a waterfall surrounding it like it's in the middle of Niagara Falls it's a great visual oh see how the water's only surrounding the Oh, yeah. It's like an EMP that ship takes out all electric magnetic pulses around it.

I'd literally be, like, hoping I'm wearing the brown pants right now. Whoa. That wall water's coming for you quick, buddy. Yep. Aw. This is so insane. Play the music from Mars attacks. God, every shot is so suspenseful.

Oh, it's right there. The horse decoy with the flag. Yeah, well, yeah, I agree. It's like if I'm going to die, I'm going to die in my car. I'm just going to ignore the situation. just chill in my car right now. I'm so with you on this. What's going to drop Tara?

Oh, God. What is that? It looks like a dead goat or a horse decoy. I can't tell. What is it? Oh, no. Jesus Christ, it gave me a heart attack. Yep.

Tara, why didn't you tell me this movie was so scary? I didn't know what I was in for. Yeah, it looks like the horse decoy. Oh, God. God, I hate that. I hate that visual. Listen to how it's coming out, the music. Oh, God.

Might be a little tricky driving like this with the vision impaired. Oh, lucky. Oh, it just turned on. son. Oh, he's not in there. Let's go. Oh, right. He's in the house. I forgot. I would just get out of the entire, like,

Oh, he's getting further away. Okay. Yeah, is it attracted to the noise? Oh, shit. Uh-oh. It's right there. Pop, pop, pop, and then it comes down. Yeah, she won't make it.

Oh, yeah. She won't make it. Oh, hey, horsey. Don't look at their eyes. Yes. No, Lucky. I don't like this. Oh, nice.

Yeah, let's just not look them in the eyes. Maybe they won't take you. We're leaving Lucky. Well, Luck is in the trailer and fully covered, so. So. Or it is a gaming apartment. I love it.

What's that chair on top of that? Oh. And the whereabouts of those 40 guests and employees of a local Western theme park are still unknown. The sheriff's office has had its hands fool trying to identify the unaccounted for. I think he's putting two and two together. That's the area that she wanted him to come out to. You never go wrong. with a fry a fish sandwich.

True. Yeah, me. Tartal got trained. I was going to say, they do taste good with tartar sauce, for sure. I don't think it eats you if you don't look at it or not. I love how intuitive he is, and, like, he's very observant, and that's how to pick-up information. Yeah. What the hell's going on outside?

Nobody want to talk about that. Huh. Copper Pots Cove. Every animal got ruled. You know what it wants, and we know how it comes, so. Plus it's about. You want me to say. I'm sorry.

Well, I assume y'all are crashing at mine, right? Because I'm not going back to the fucking monster umbrella. Yeah. Gotta feed him. Let Lucky out. No. There's shit to do. Buy some shit to do.

Aw, Lucky. Oh, can't feed him, Lucky. There's a wheelchair on your roof. Hi. That cloud, he moved to goddamage. Though you're not completely full of shit. Uh. Thank you.

Yeah, thank you. You know, people have been trying to get pictures of these things since like the 50s. You know, it's an ancient... How do we say? It's going to get hungry again. So, you know, just ring the dinner bell. That's her line, but without the dinner part. Now we know what it doesn't like.

That little fake horse and flags mess up good. Yep. Got stuck in his wind pipes or something. Yeah. I bet they ain't going to fuck with flags like that in a minute. We should just cover the whole house and flags. We pissed them off. We're not the reason to settle down here.

That was Jew. He got called. trying to tame a predator. You can't do that. You got to end an agreement with one. Let's say, Freedom Roy. Oh, God. I understood that reference, unfortunately.

I think everybody does, right? How exactly do you enter an agreement with a fucking, a UFO alien entity or whatever that? Would you, Pomo City, almost fit it, right? Call him Gene Jack. How about this? How about we? Sand old Gene Jack, get some fresh horses

There it goes. Jesus. Gotta cause that EMP type of shit. Make it crash somehow. It's an awesome tracking shot. That went through that flag all the way around, back onto him. Oh my God. Here we go.

Wow. Look at that. That's an amazing visual. That looks great. Nice. Oh, cool. That's great. Smart.

Whoa, look at that. Wow. Whoa. I don't know if it's over, but you've got the footage. He's going to be like, we didn't get it. It was exposed, or what? Yeah, it killed the film? Or what?

What do you mean, Ed? What, no, no, no, where are you going? See how they sped up the frame, right? It's gonna be all right. He's going rogue. He's going rogue. We don't deserve the impossible. He goes, he just had some creepy cryptic shit, took his camera,

has had nothing up the mountain. He's like, it wasn't the shot. Ooh. I don't like his chances of survival. Holst. Wow. Wow. Oh.

Oh, my goodness. To see it from the camera's point of view is insane. Hopefully, the camera drops and it still works. Oh, it will work because it's film. So it'll stay intact so we could see it. It looks like an alien belly. It really looks alive. Shit out that camera, buddy.

Come on. Run, Angel. Oh. That may have just saved him. Yeah, most likely it looks like a flag, right? Oh, God. That's a film real. Yeah.

Oh, God. The music gets very eerie at times. Whoa. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Don't look at it. It's like the top half looks like a saucer,

and then the bottom looks like an actual alien belly. Okay, smart. Oh, God. Oh, we can't get pulled up now, right? Ouch, that's got to hurt. That barbed wire in there. Better than the alternative. Yeah.

Oh, I think it broke. Did it break? It better not. I really growed to like Angel. Oh, God. Is he in there? I think he's in there. Oh, he's in there.

Yay! You made it, buddy. It's crazy. Like, at first I couldn't stand him. Now, I... Look at that. What? Get the fight.

Get out of it. Wow. Yeah, isn't that wild? Can't look. at it. Don't look at it. Holy quackamole. Whoa, look at it. How it morphed? What the... Yeah, it's definitely like wider and longer in different shape.

Not the saucer anymore. Oh, isn't that the... It was kind of like the movie. The dad was teaching it earlier from the movie. Don't worry, your brother's going to come by on that horse and swing you up. There we go. Come on now. Wow, cool. Weird. Giving her a chance to escape.

Oh, just like when he looked at her when they were training the horses, kids. Nice call back. Come on, girl. Wow. Jesus. Whoa. Oh. Wow.

Keep going. Wow. That's quite an image. Hey, he's looking right at him.

I'm going to take you to Oprah. That's how we need the movie. A car for you and a car for you. That's how we need the movie. to end her on Oprah. Wait, why did he leave it alone? I don't know. I think he's going down to eat it, right? So I think?

I don't know. I hope so. It's going to be like, shoo. Oh, yeah, yeah. Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it. Cool. That'll be a good photo. I hope you got it. Oh. Definitely going to choke on that. Oh, that's cool to see it turn back into the sauce. Oh, let's see him choke on that.

Yeah. That's not going to go well for you, buddy. Yeah, because that's going to be good. That's pure, whoa! Nice. Yeah, that is pure plastic. It's sort of like it exploded its intestines, its insides. Love it.

That was... Yes! Yes. Nobody f*** what I would, bitch. Nobody! That's right. Not even aliens. That was a... awesome plan.

I was like literally, what are they going to do to stop this thing? It comes back up. Wow. Wild. That's the Oprah photo, Tara. It's got to be. Other people are arriving for the, oh, it's the news. Take it to Oprah, girl.

Is their insurance on A, Alien damage or Who knows? There should be, just a case. Yeah, I love this again, this Western vibe. There's so many different genres they invoked in the film really nicely. Is there her brother unlucky?

Is she seeing her brother unlucky? I'm hoping that's what she's saying because I'm pretty sure they survive. I saw the brother. I saw O.J. for a second after the fact. Ouch, young. Yeah. Yay.

Good job. Oh, that's a great photo. That's a very, very nice photo. Lovely capture. And on Oprah. Nope. The film's like, nope, we're not doing that. No.

All right, guys, we just got done watching a nope. If you're listening to us, an Apple or Spotify. Give us a five-star rating. Leave us a comment. If you're on YouTube, like, comment, subscribe when you do. Ring the bell. Ring the bell.

So you're notified of all the videos we are dropping. Like I said before, if you're a patron, you get to ask this question. So we're going to go straight to it. Oh, and also, thank you so much for to paper. We appreciate you guys. Yes, proper is the best. So we're going to head to the questions.

Malick Curry. How did you guys feel about the chemistry of the main cast. I personally feel like this was Peel's best casting. Daniel and Kiki bounced off each other so well. It's definitely a great cast. I really liked Daniel a lot in this. I liked his this quiet intensity he had, especially when you contrast that with the rest of the chaotic craziness going on around the film. I thought it was a nice blend. Just again to contrast what else was going on and also to contrast with his sister. She was very charismatic. She was very energetic. She was very very she stole a lot of the scenes as well just with her uh her ambition and her her energy and i just

i really loved emerald a lot too so i think they were both great and also too i just like i said in real time i didn't think angel was gonna be such a prevalent character the story when we met him it was like this guy's kind of a doucheed a dick and then i was like the more we started to get to know him i was like actually like it was just he was just having a really bad day and just taking it a little bit out on the customer because he was dealing with some personal problems. I get it. Not saying that justifies, but I get it. So I'm like, but I like that character a lot too. So he's, he was pretty layered as well. And also, I thought there was a great level of charm to, uh, with Jube as well, Stephen Yoon, I think his name was. I know he wasn't in the film a ton, but also there was a,

as we found out in the pack story with Gordy and all that. It was a great level of complexity. I felt as well with that character. So I really enjoyed the cast. a great deal and yeah what about you uh yeah i agree with you i think it's great chemistry there's not much more i can say about that except uh i do think that daniel and kiki also bounced off each other really well um and yeah not much more to say on that let's move on the next question from resonance z thank you for so much for being a royal reject and for asking a question we appreciate it hope you two enjoyed the movie question answer what was actually scarier the alien or the flashback the camera work for the flashback was amazing and built so much

tension what do you got terra what do you got for us i actually think that the alien when we first see it and that built up tension was really scary especially when it was not a flashback like in the very beginning when the kids were the aliens that scared the i was gonna say that living shit out of me dude like that was so so scary it really creeped me like that that freaked me out and i know that's not the real aliens but then of course of course when we see it finally like coming through the clouds and like moving so quick that was really spooky yeah no totally i was gonna pick that you know what it also felt like a little bit those kids like pulling a prank on and i know they worked with jube or for juke whatever kind of reminded me of one of my all-time favorite horror films

which i know this film was homageing and doing references uh to other films as well but it kind of felt a little bit like jaws where which erin and tera just reacted go check it out if you haven't where those kids were playing a prank in the water with the shark fin i was like it kind of gave me a little bit of the vibes of that yeah in regards to what i thought was scarier the actual alien i mean i guess from a i guess from a grounded reality I would say the monkey gordy because like oh yeah because that could really happen you'd never know you know what I mean if you're on set with a with a monkey like that was very scary and if it was real and this like living hybrid saucer thing that could evolve and change shapes and shit like

right and you didn't have this good year blimp or jube looking thing that could fly up into and you had this elaborate plan where you know you're a lot smarter than me that is probably just scary in scope and all that shit. So they're both really scary and I thought they both built tension. I thought this movie again, we were, Tara and I were both discussing it in real time as well. I thought this film

did a great job because to me it's all about balance, you know, when it comes to, especially if you're going to have different types of tones and genres in your film. Yeah. So like the fact that you had, you had action, you had sci-fi, you had horror and you had a Western vibe. Like combining all that, that's a lot

to do in one single film. And I thought the film did a great job just blending it all and executed on all of them to get one really good film. Yeah, I absolutely agree. All right. Next question. Michael Medina Catheria. This is absolutely my favorite UFO-themed movie because it took such a different approach to the alien genre. I also loved how much they made sure to compare the UFO to animals by showing us with the horse and the monkey that even trained animals are still wild at heart.

prone to outbursts, if not respected and properly treated. Not looking at in the eyes was another animal reference. Did you guys catch this connection? And what did you think about comparing aliens to wild animals as a theme? Yeah, I mean, I definitely caught the part of not looking at the eye for sure. I mean, they made a point to for sure, like, let us know. I thought there was an interesting theme, too, in the film just about, like, you know, not being able, you know, controlling, you know, chaos and all that. like can we like are we able to control and tame the forces of nature and like sometimes that's just

really completely out of our hands you know what i mean we have to bend to to its will sort of thing so i thought like that was like jordan peel did an excellent job of using that metaphorically and actually as a physical thing here yeah so i thought that was like really done well um and it was very subtle never felt forced and very organic what about you um yeah i definitely caught the connection. I think in general, like back to give you an example, like when I was dolphin training in Hawaii, sometimes when we would have, when people would buy an experience with the dolphins and they would walk into a pool, sometimes a dolphin would turn on its side and kind of open its mouth and just like slowly, like they're not going to do anything, but the people

would go like, oh, what is it doing? And it wouldn't hit its mark. And that was a way that we would go, okay, McConnell Nice's time will go into the other tank and deal with the other dolphin, meaning that was their cue of like, they might have reached our threshold, not in the mood today, maybe they already had an interaction before, and they just

want to chill. But they would be smart enough to know, like, I'll just do this, and they'll give them a break. So I do find it the connection between the wild animal thing and the aliens as like, I loved it.

But I've also seen the same thing of like with, as you're saying, like, that even trained animals, they have a threshold. They're prone to outbursts. And I've seen that before. As I think we've all seen even on TV, I'm just saying, like, up close and personal. And I like that also the howling of a dog was very prevalent in order to get the alien. That's what they played on the roof. And a wolf especially is like, don't look that fucker in the eye. So, yeah, I liked it.

lot all right all right jaden roads my favorite thing about the movie was the brother and sister dynamic do y'all like the alien at the end i remember the first time i watched it i was a little disappointed with how it with how it was portrayed and the way it looks but it grew on me with rewatching it um uh yeah i mean i like i didn't have any issues with it my the biggest surprising thing was how it turns kind of into a flag and then it has that weird kaleidoscope thing and i was like wait how did we get here because we didn't get to see it morph until the end right to where it becomes that flag and comes and falls back into the saucer again which I thought yeah I needed that because I was like what in the actual F what the is this thing now um so I get you with that like

it's it was a it was a different kind of like vibe but it didn't bug me in a way that I think maybe it disappointed you, Jaden. I sort of was like, yeah, I guess. Like, who knows what it actually looks like, except the atypical saucer that they gave us was what it, what we have seen and like what they were talking about, the Navy videos and whatnot, some of those released videos, classified videos that they've released.

It's similar to that. So I would agree, yeah, I think it would grow on me as well. I think the reason it did is because it showed us going back into the saucer, which I very much like. For sure. Well, I'm glad it did grow on you, Jaden, as you were rewatching it. I've had films do that, too, where I didn't like a specific thing, whether it was storyline or a character, character's arc, or just a character in general, or a look of something. And then as I rewatch, I'm like, I actually do like that. It is growing on me, so I can totally resonate with what you are saying about that.

But I personally, I like the look of it. I mean, granted, it was the typical, you know, saucer look. But I also thought it was not typical in terms of the top was, but I felt the bottom. I was, like I said, during the reaction, it felt like an actual underbelly of an actual alien or whatever it was. Like, it felt alive. It felt like a hybrid being or something. So I thought that was like a really cool way to give it a general familiar feeling, but also like differing from normal things we would associate. with UFOs or whatever saucers, you know what I mean?

And then when it evolved in the end was like, holy shit, this is definitely different too. Like it could really evolve like this. So I liked it. And when it came to the brother and sister dynamic, I agree that was definitely my favorite part of the film as well. And I really, Tara, I love this theme in the film about legacy versus visibility and how like, you know, OJ was not willing to let go of this place,

even though it probably wasn't his true love, but he wanted to do it for in honor of his father and to, you know, what obviously happened to his father was so unexpected because of the ship or the alien that was flying around dropped the coin and all of that but he wanted to make his father proud and to honor him by keeping the business that he spent so much of his time building up into something

that was great in the movie and TV industry so I could really appreciate that and I thought that was like a beautiful theme and again very well executed by Jordan Beale yeah I agree all right from awesome joe what kind of movie would you like for jordan peel to make next get out was focused on the psychic horror then us which is my favorite by the way explored doppelganger horror okay and nope was with alien monster horror for me i would like to see what he could do with a time travel horror movie okay well you said get out was focused on psychic horror yep i just did watch that with the gregg and then nope was alien monster horror correct And us is, as I'm reading now, doppelgating her.

Well, now I have an idea what that is because I'm probably going to react to that at some point soon with Greg. Honestly, I don't care what he does. I'll watch anything he does. He's a very thought-provoking director. He's one of those directors, too. And when I say thought-provoking,

when the film's over, you're still going to be thinking about the movie and you're going to have questions, but not questions that, like, in my opinion, at least, that questions where, like, It's bothering you, but questions that are going to make you really think about long and hard and make you want to rewatch the film and make you pick up on things the second, third, fourth, fifth time. Those are my favorite kind of directors, honestly, when you can rewatch stuff and like, holy crap, they really set that up. I did not catch that. Even the first three times I watched it. That is great stuff. But I know him as a filmmaker. He was assuming that on the third or fourth watch, I was going to pick that up and catch that this time. So I like directors who like really take the time. That shows.

that they have such a love for what they do and they have such a care and they're so attentive in their profession. So I don't have a specific thing that I'm like, I need him to do this. Whatever he does, I will be there. Whether not most likely the theater because I don't go to the theater obviously that much.

I think Tara and I are the ones who are here the most. But whether it's the theater here, I'll be there. Yeah. Yeah, I think that it would be fun to see kind of a smash up of like a cabinet in the woods where it has a lot of those characters real things are happening it's not all psychic horror mixed with saw because like what in the actual f it's not like there's a ton of gore

in his right so it could be fun to kind of like push the the limits of like is there a psychopath on the loose killing all these people in weird ways yeah we'll see all right captain fernandez thank you so much for being a royal reject and for asking a question we really appreciate you i and many others think the central idea of the film is that our obsession with spectacle eventually consumes us and that the only answer is to not participate what do you guys think the movie was about that's a special movie our obsession with spectacle i mean i guess you could kind of see that especially like towards the end with the the film director like he is like the central point of that because like he had to be there with a big spectacle and then he kind of ran off

on his own doing that and then like it can literally consumed him uh but i would say like that that is being more practical in in regards to this uh and symbolic but yeah i be i would say that that is definitely i i think a big thing too is just like uh being able to control the forces of nature like how much control do we have is a very big thing too um i think like also too like when shit goes awry how resourceful and observant can we be as well is is definitely a very important thing to be in situations like this but i would agree that this is probably you know a the the main theme of the film uh is what you put or rather the the central idea of the film i would agree what about you um it's interesting because angel chooses obviously to very much participate

in the spectacle but he ends up okay and kind of like a part of the family right so um i mean i also in thinking about it i do also agree with you there's there's just some things that's like oh yeah i hadn't really thought about it that way i i felt more pulled towards the family dynamic of them sticking to their name and being like this is what you get when you mess with Haywood when a family dynamic sticks together they can sort of fight through anything meaning there's a sacrifice that is very obviously made with the brother for his sister to get away knowing full well he could be in the belly of an alien and then she gets away and yay it's it's a happy ending we do see that he survived but we also see you know in the

beginning that a lot of people, what they tried to do is set up that anybody they encountered had zero faith in them. So like you can't, you're not going to figure this out or like you probably shouldn't do this. And then in the end, they're actually the ones who get the picture of the alien and kill it. Right. So I think maybe it has to do with underestimating people and, yeah, just showing them that like, hey, I'm underestimated in a lot of ways in regards to probably race because a lot of the times that they were being underestimated was by white people in this film.

But it could be any, any race wherever for any of us if you feel underestimated. And then you get to the point that they're at where they kind of save the day as well as possibly the world if the alien decided to move from that cloud, which is a cool way to look. at it. I love what you just said, though, like, no matter what the adversity is, if you stick together

as a family, you can accomplish or get through anything together. I do like that. I think that's a very astute point on top of this other thing here, too, though. Yeah. Really well said, Tara. All right. Jay Rushden. What up, Jay? This film is based, Jaws there. The song, Where My Sunglasses at Night is muted for effect. Question the Monkey Stories Random, creepy. Does it affect the pacing of the movie? I don't think it affects the pace. facing a movie in a negative way at all. I actually think it fits just right. I like the way they showed it at first as a way of being ambiguous and mysterious.

And then, let's leave that up. We don't want to see those. Oh. I like that. It showed like the very beginning, Tara, when we see that, the whole Gordy scene, it's very, again, it's, it's eerie, it's mysterious. It's horrifying. And yet we don't know what the hell is going on because we don't know we're in an alien film. so but it just kind of just reinvigorates the whole thing about like how much can you control

you know things that are out of your control right so but um I do like the nonlinear storytelling then they did get back to that scene a little bit later on and the film think about close to halfway and it was pretty quick it was like five six minutes scene so I don't think it affected the pacing at all in fact I think it filled in a little bit of the backstory uh when it comes to jube when it comes to jube and also just how long right these aliens possibly been on earth

if they were able to possibly a fab i still would maybe need to watch this movie another time or two to really get a total read on that scene a little bit more but i think it just fits into that theme more about you know can you control the forces of nature can we tame it type of thing i know i've said that a few times

are right here but i think that is such a prevalent theme to this film yeah Yeah, I don't, I don't, I actually really wanted to see it. Like finally when we saw, you know, we're starting at the top with the sitcom dialogue and then we we cut to it sort of mid. And then finally when we get to the scene, I was like, I want to see the aftermath. I don't know. I just have like, I was pulled towards it to see like, how did we get here? And why is this animal being shown to us as like a savage, like something?

something really terrible happened. And I think it just feeds into the connection of that there's weird forces out there and that every animal, which again, someone earlier said, you know, comparing the wild animals to aliens, right? That they all have a threshold that can be passed and it can be scary. Like they even said in here, Sigfried and Roy. True. And other circumstances like that that have happened.

You know what I was also thinking about? SeaWorld. Yeah, I was going to say Tiki at SeaWorld, how he freaked out. There's, you know, a lot of that where they can reach a point where it's like, no, you've got to get me out of here. I do think for Orcas, like, obviously for that, they were never really given enough room. Yeah, no, they should not be at SeaWorld. Right. They're born under domestic care.

So a lot of them wouldn't be able to actually survive. in the wild, especially when they're born under domestic care. They're not like, and it's not though that they're treated badly. It's just that, yes, every animal, whether they're born under domestic care, but they still have, it's an argument of nature versus nurture, right? So we're talking nature. It is still a wild animal. Nurture can change the way it behaves in certain ways.

So that's just like something that it gave us to think about for this film. with, yes, comparing it, comparing the animals, aliens, reaching a threshold, what's going to happen? Yeah. Kev B, did you understand what Jup's sitcom ape attack flashback meant? Because not many people do. That's a great question. I mean, I was, obviously, I was completely wrong when we were talking about it. I thought like the aliens were, like, consuming things and then putting them back down and controlling them.

I was off my rockers with that prediction. But what was your interpretation of the scene? I mean, I feel like I just like kind of touched on it where it's like this film is showing us a lot of that has to do with comparison between aliens, wild animals, what's going on here, what spooks them, what can set them off? Because we go from the ape, it's the popping of a balloon

that obviously can be all of, those animals that are on set, you train them to deal with lights in their faces, loud sounds, lights falling, action, camera, an actor moving, an actor petting them, an actor running, healing beside them. It's like you have to deal with all of that. And then we do show lucky being trained to deal with the flags so that it can, you know, ride through that in order to get this alien so that we can trap it. and I think it sort of keeps you on your toes in thinking,

oh, we did see Lucky before buck that lady, right? In the beginning. And then we move further with Lucky, which is great. But I think it's just a way to kind of keep you on your toes of like, you're never quite sure what's got to happen with the wild animals or the freaking aliens. True, no, that's a great point here because I think we saw in that scene with Gordy when we were on set. right when the balloons started popping and going out, it freaked out.

So that's where it's like, again, this whole idea of, like, nature versus nurture and what can we control again, you know? That's where it is out of our control in that sense. And so that's where OJ came to the discovery as long as I don't look at this thing. And, like, I stay, and, you know, that's where I appreciated the resourcefulness in his character because he deals with animals and he deals with horses.

he understands, like, treating it as such. And I thought that was such an interesting way to go about the film and execute on that. So I love that. But yeah, I think that was a great point. Absolutely. All right. Last question from Mark Leach.

How do you feel about the reveal of the alien? What happens to everyone? I remember watching it feeling genuinely disturbed by the idea of people being digested alive. And but some people, I know, found it to be silly, didn't enjoy the film after the reveal of what was actually. going. Yeah, I didn't personally find that to be silly at all. I think I can speak for Tara and I. We were grossed out as that was, I was still under the impression that they were consuming them to pot. I don't know why I was on this theory of they were, I think maybe I had it

in my mind that they were mind controlling people because the way that girl was reacting at the fries. Her thing was so weird. Her delivery was so creepy. Maybe that was intentional to throw us the audience and to get me into thinking that but that's where my mind was so i was in hope even though i still would think like you know you're just a vessel at that point you're not even human anymore so but still that's better than being crunched up into little pieces and then you know whatever's left of you is thrown uh you know near the hayward farm or whatever uh but uh yeah i was very disturbed i was disgusting and to see the intestines of the inside of an alien belly It was gross.

What about you? Yeah. I think it was gnarly. I think I understand why people may say that it was silly. There's sort of an aspect of comedy when it picks up the people and it disappears, but then it loops back around and all we hear is, ah, like, and then it's revealed that it's eating them in its belly. It's digesting. It's basically like it's a claustrophobic esophagus that they are. stuck in, which to me is terrifying.

I don't want it, not at all. Ew. The capture of the woman in there, I do think was wildly disturbing, but I do understand if some people were like, ah, it was kind of silly when we hear, like, when the alien flies over, it's the distance of the scream cries of the people in this belly screaming. Could be mixed with that, but I do think that the image of it was disturbing enough for a horror film for sure and like you said with uh i think your name was mary joe the one who was beaten by gordon still survive to have to live a life of like after that experience and then you

consumed by uh the into the intestine of the alien oh god tough man that's awful uh last thing before we close out here rotten tomatoes terra what do you got for critics first just start one night um critics i'm gonna say 62 and audience audience i'll say 70s Okay. So you said 62 for critics. It was 83. Oh, lovely. You said 76 for. Yeah. It was 69. Okay. So I was closer with the agreeing with the audience. Oh, that's cool. I always do lower with the critics because sometimes they can be so weird and harsh on films that I really enjoy. They can. So I always aim lower. But that's great. I'm glad they liked it. No, I agree with you. I remember there was one movie. I really disagreed with them on. It was called Grandma's Boy. They gave it a 19 percent. I was like, how wrong they were on that one. Love it. Yeah. We appreciate you guys joining us. Make sure you leave all the likes, all the comments. Tell us how cool we are. We love you. We'll see you on the next one.
