Greg Alba & Andrew Gordon dive into Jordan Peele’s Oscar-winning 2017 social horror / thriller Get Out! This critically acclaimed film follows Chris Washington, played by Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah, Black Panther), a young Black man who visits the family estate of his white girlfriend Rose Armitage, portrayed by Allison Williams (Girls, M3GAN). At first, the trip seems like an awkward but typical “meet the parents” scenario with Rose’s seemingly friendly mother Missy Armitage (Catherine Keener, Capote, Being John Malkovich) and father Dean Armitage (Bradley Whitford, The West Wing, The Handmaid’s Tale). But soon, Chris uncovers a terrifying secret involving hypnosis, body snatching, and the sinister Coagula Procedure. The supporting cast includes Caleb Landry Jones (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) as Rose’s unsettling brother Jeremy, Lakeith Stanfield (Sorry to Bother You, Atlanta) as the mysterious Andre/Logan, Lil Rel Howery (Free Guy, Vacation Friends) delivering comic relief as Chris’s TSA best friend Rod, and Stephen Root (Office Space, Barry) as blind art dealer Jim Hudson. Get Out became a cultural phenomenon with iconic moments like the chilling “sunken place” hypnosis scene, the eerie garden party sequence with the “grandparents” living inside Black hosts, and the shocking twist of Rose’s betrayal. The film balances psychological dread with razor-sharp social commentary on race, privilege, and exploitation, making it one of the most discussed horror films of the 21st century. Join Greg & Andrew as they react to the film’s most haunting visuals, dissect its layered themes, and break down why Get Out remains a groundbreaking entry in both horror and social cinema.

More on them in just a bit. let's do it all right get out commencing in three two one wow uh wow wow all right ladies and gentlemen we just watched get out my first time rewatching this since uh in like eight years man is it better than on the little small thing is much better much better than uh A weird watermarking experience.

Yeah. I definitely didn't get it as much as the first time. But yeah, I started like remembering some plot finale stuff. So I was like, I should just keep out now. But man, there's still even details in the plot finale. I was like, oh my God, yeah. All that stuff with the brother that I just picked up on before. Yeah.

That's crazy. But yeah, thanks for prepper for any now in these highlights. Make sure to leave a like and subscribe. But this was Andrew's first time watching. It was. I actually loved being next to you. Witnessing firsthand you experience is how did you feel? What were your first thoughts on this?

Again, there's, you know me. I'm not the biggest fan of horror, but I think this film did such a good job. Like the first act, obviously the first few minutes, you had that crazy scene of the, I thought he killed him first of all, but I didn't realize it was an abduction. But like, okay, so I didn't know anything about this movie other than the poster, and it was called to get out. I truly did not know anything besides, and Jordan Peel directed, but to start off like that in such an era, way and I was not sure what the tone was aside from that and then you get into what felt like a romantic comedy uh with some eerie offset with the parents and how they're behaving in like this very authoritarian type of manner towards him and just these really bizarre comments in looks

but again still felt like a very just bizarre romantic comedy and then you get off into the second act where the plot really is starting to thicken into this horror film with a lot of social commentary as well. That is just very fascinating stuff. But I thought

the dialogue was so sharp. I think the film though incredible performances all around because how do you get in like just in terms of all the characters who are just awful atrocious being like how do you get into the head of becoming characters like It's atrocious beings.

But I think what's the actor who played our main actor? Daniel. Daniel Kaluya. I've only seen him in Black Panther. I don't remember a ton about his performance in the film in Black Panther, but I will tell you in this film, I think he grounded the film with charm and vulnerability. And I think his facial expressions brought us the audience

into a realm of a lot of tension and suspense throughout the film. and it's like we were there with him I think that's what a good horror film does and of course there was a lot of blending of other things like comedy as well in the film but I think that's what a really good horror film it invests you into the characters and you have to feel that suspense and that terror

and you don't want anything to happen and within five, ten minutes I felt like I did not want anything to happen to this man and also too his facial expressions like really did a good job it's a really hard thing for an actor to have to tell the audience what he is thinking

without having to say anything it's the facial narration that he was doing a visual narration rather was absolutely off the show it was just breathtaking to watch you could have a whole I know this is a weird thing to say

you could add a whole movie where he didn't say a word and I would have known what he was thinking that's how good of a job he was doing I just want to praise how incredible he was I also think his best friend in the film Ron because this is

such a bleak and scary type of film i think the comedy a lot of times you have to be so careful with how you insert comedy in a film like this course because it can undercut the tension i feel and the suspense i really think that having it in the moments that they had it just represented how we were feeling like don't do that no shit yeah you know what i mean in the moments he did it i think jordan peel did a great job of like inserting that and also too i i i love the intellect and the resourcefulness of both of these characters and i just think it just blended right with the rest of the stuff that was going on in the film. So I thought it was great.

The twist with the daughter and just the fucked up the nature of the plot of the film is incredible film. And also, too, just the fact that this man has to deal with so much grief and pain and the trauma he had to relive. And just, like, faced it with such gusto. I just, I love this character so much. It was an incredible film and an incredible performance. And it's one of those films that I'm going to be thinking about. lot afterwards and I think that it's the praise

there's not much more praise I can give a film other than to say I'm going to think about it a lot after watching it and also when I revisit it too I'm going to probably pick up on more things which I can imagine when you were watching like oh wow I didn't even pick up on that the first I think that's what good films do

when you can pick up on shit when you rewatch it a second third or fourth time you know so well boy how are you feeling man I'm feeling good I'm feeling good I'd be curious like rewatch it again but closer now because i was i had i i remember like the main the main stuff i remembered is that he was i was like that the the daughter was actually bad but the movie had me going where i was like wait is she hypnotized i couldn't quite recall that and then torr once we were

in the finale i started some of the flashes started coming back to my head like oh yeah i think i know what's going to happen at this moment. But my memory, but the problem that kept happening when I was watching it of why I said when we were watching, I'm like, oh, I kind of want to make guesses because there were times where I was like, oh, this is what's going to

happen. And then that didn't happen. I was like, wait a minute. I guess I'm remembering stuff wrong because there are things that I was predicted at my head. I'm like, okay, this was going to happen next. I remember. I'm like, wait a minute, that didn't happen at all. And so it was a cool experience, but I still, and I definitely

back then me eight years ago did not pick up like people were talking so much about the social commentary and I felt like an idiot when I listened because I was going I don't really I feel like I missed I didn't really pick up on that because I wasn't like smart enough or something or whatever and I feel like this is one of those elevated horror films that pierced that veil for people to understand better and and you know like it just has had more experiences and more conversations in life, there were so much, I love the subtleties like in the first chunk of how they kept building, like the little microaggressions that would come out in the dialogue or how there's

like blind spots even in the, that's why I think that Obama line is so brilliant because there's blind spots in the quote unquote allies. I think, like I feel like in the past I might have even been guilty of that where you really want to show you're not racist and then you find to go like the extra mile and then you're like wait a minute now this is like now I'm really drawing attention to the fact that I'm aware this person's black yeah yeah and I like to make fun of myself for that but yeah so because I've had the sincerity in my past where I've made those like dumbass moves and uh as I love how this film portrays that and they do it that the perspective of this Chris guy

where it's it for a film like they say social commentary it is a lot about the socialization of these encounters you know where it's at the dinner table and they're talking about like you know black people because that's what the brother's actually saying with the genetic build yeah that you know black people

naturally have that athleticism and build and that strength and that awkwardness that's a quote unquote compliment but really it's a it's a thing to make someone and feel like exposed and vulnerable and awkward as shit and um and it's like and then this movie even then back then like i felt like dumb not picking up on it until now like this is like a modern day take of uh of uh of uh of it's like a sci-fi twilight zone modernization of of slavery you know like the steperwise comment you made too even though i didn't see it but yeah i haven't seen it either but i know when to make that separate reference just because it's been such a big part of pop

culture. But yeah, it's like the, when he's at the, like, I could see like, oh, maybe Jordan Peel, this is when he started like coming up with the horror like before the auction and all the comments that people were making the entire time. Even asking right that in there, like, do you feel like there's an advantage to be an African American or, you know, when Bradley Whitford's talking about the deer and them taking over? And I'm like, oh, is this supposed to be like getting rid of the deer one at a time? Is this supposed to be like some weird thing he's hinting about black people right now you know um but also the the idea of these like caucasian bad guys where they are envious and that's where the fear of them of black people for

them comes in is this is this is envy it is a clever ass movie with um and everything is set up like it's a very well like you could just i can imagine the the detective board of all the red strings of you like Jordan Peel piecing every inch of this movie together and every time I any time I even had a question the movie would address it you know like right down to when they're showing him

the footage I'm like why would they what's the point showing him the footage there's no point take over the body doesn't matter and they have to do that because it makes easier on the mind for the symbiosis to occur during the surgery I'm like oh they're answering it or when it came to

you know like he Stanfield gets kidnapped in the beginning and I'm going well why don't they just kidding Chris, why I play this like stupid-ass long game? And then they answer it. The brother has the more aggressive version of doing it, which can lead to more faulty outputs, you know? Right.

It is a smart... You calm and ease them into it. It's going to make it a more seamless process. I imagine that a lot of... I see we had a lot of questions, so I imagine that we will be answering a lot of these things in there. So please, Andrew, I would reserve what you have to say because I'm a positive that whatever you have to say

is going to come up in here. Sure. And if it doesn't... You're smart to say that because I still had a lot. Yeah, I know how this goes. Fine. We're good. And so I will...

We're trying to train you and John how to move on quickly through these instead of spending an hour on them. All good. No, it's good. I wrote it down too, so it's all good. So let me, uh, let's not go in actual order. Um, let's, let's mess around here. Let's start a residency. Love Get Out.

What do you find the most unsettling about the movie? Did you ever suspect Rose before the reveal? Hope you enjoyed the movie as well. What did I find the most unsettling? What they were doing? Yeah. That's what I found the most unsettling. How they viewed just black people in general and like the operation.

It was disgusting. It was inhumane. And I think like this is what I was going to say here. So this is perfect, actually. I think like the subtle detail and hint of how envious the father was about Bradley Whitford's father I think because he lost that race in front of Hitler like it was a very

he was in such an envious position and it's like all right yeah so I think that's like that's he carried this like pissed off like stigma towards black people I didn't even figure up on that that's why he's like oh he won because he's black

yeah that's what I wanted to mention I'm like so yeah so I can understand his vindictive nature but that still doesn't give you the right to treat people like that and take over their bodies and their oh he can outrun me because of his genetics let me take over his body like that's fucked up that's going to do with the skill oh yeah so i would say that's the most unsuspecting in

regards to did i suspect rose no because the actress did such an incredible job and she really kept making like she was standing up for her guy when he was being racially profiled by the cops and she was emotionally manipulating not only chris but jordan peel did a great job of having her emotionally manipulate us the audience yeah so I was really shocked by that reveal to be quite honest, but there were a couple times, I'm sure if I rewatch it, we're like, Greg and I, like, what? That was a weird

answer. Why did she respond that way? There was like a programmed response answer. There was, there's, there's, it was about the, it was about the dream. Yeah, she responded in a weird way. I was like, wait, that's not a proper response to that question. She responded in a way like she's heard that answer before. Yeah, I'm like, why did you

say that? That's not, you didn't just listen to what he just said. Yeah, that's creepy as hell. Yeah, so that would be my answered those but what about you i think the most unsettling like moment uh i mean i agree with all that i think the most unsettling moment was when chris goes upstairs and they all go quiet and look up like everyone that's a good one that just that one moment like freak me out and the yeah and the finale with everything with the rose uh i don't i i believe i never suspected her before um but that one moment with um the stuff went on with rose like there's a tragedy to rose in a weird way right because like

She's responsible for all our own choices. It doesn't matter, like, even though we know why she is the way she is. It doesn't matter. She still takes her own actions. Of course. But there is, like, a sickening tragedy of the, they use her, they pimp her out. And, you know, like she's still a child trapped. Like, she's show her eating with, like, the fucking fruit loops at the end, showing that she's just kind of been trapped as this little girl having to do this.

Like, the fact that she seduces and probably slept with the original person who was Georgina and then now views that same. person who she was sleeping with his grandma like that's kind of stuff is like so icky to me yeah you know yeah no that's that's a great point and she is again responsible for actions but again i i really truly feel strongly about this a lot of us we are a product of the environment that we grew up in and she really did not stand a chance she grew up in this this is all she knows so i actually fucked up what she's doing but i feel bad for her at the same points of the fact that Jordan Peel could make me feel that way about a coldless, senseless, evil human being is impressive.

Definitely. Let's do another one, Andrew. We've got a few more to go. Let's do Hunter Preston. Hunter Preston. Thank you for being a real reject asking a question. We appreciate it. How do you guys like the concept and the reveal that they take over people's bodies?

And what do you wish other thrillers would take from this? How do I like that concept and reveal? I think it's brilliant. Just get Aaron on the phone. Aaron, I think it's time for some surgery, but I think that's, I think it's an interesting inverted way to show why, like when you look at the history when it comes to African people in America, when it came to slavery, it is this, it was such a cruel, ugly, belittling time, like there's no real word that could describe the atrocity that it is. And then it re contextualizes the mindset of, of like, they, they feared them, you know, of the strengths that they, that they felt they had, you know, and like, I, I really don't know. I don't know if there's any, like, I've never looked it up. Like, I don't know if there's any validity to the very idea that, like, our, this is the average black person born with a more genetic, you know, advantage like that.

I don't, I don't know anything about that. I don't know if there's any, I don't know if there is. but the way how they try to use fear and control I think it's a very terrifying concept and what other thriller I wish could take from this the trust in subtlety is because this movie doesn't go big until the end whereas the most part it is just like

an uncomfortable movie and it feels very real before it goes full-blown sci-fi and I like the like because it felt so real by the time it goes full sci-fi you actually buy it. So, yeah, that's kind of what I would take for me.

That's a great point. And I think you said it best, too. Like, there was so much hints of subtlety. And they weren't, like, slapping it and forcing it in your face. Because, like, when they were having him sink into the floor and the way they were viewing it, like, they were giving you these visceral and immersive hints of it, too. So I think they did a great job of preparing you for what was about to happen without, like, force feeding it to you.

Because, like, again, the whole, I kept on saying a couple times, I'm like, this feeling like hypnotizing the way everyone's behaving and like it and I just thought it was just a very simplistic version of hypnotizing but then when it happened like because you've been so subtle in the way you've done it and you've had these little things happen already visually and viscerally I'm like I full and the fact that he's also a neurosurgeon too I'm like I fully buy this actually it's like it feels grounded I don't know if it's plausible but it still feels real in this world based on the rules of this world too so yeah uh whatever I feel like other films can take just pretty much what you said just I I don't want stuff

force fed and I just wanted like you said to be subtle but also at the same point too I I love what you said earlier where I'm just a very big stickler for a lot of times I'm like wait it's kind of like almost even though I always see the good and everything even if I don't connect to it I'm always like wait that's kind of like the cinema sins in me that's the question is not being answered that And I really feel like this movie did a great job. I feel like the audience might ask questions about that. We're going to properly answer that. And I think this movie just did an incredible job just doing that as well.

And also, too, I feel like just really quickly, I feel like when it comes to the taking over the minds, this godlike complex that we are, his way people are more superior. It's just really fucked up. So, you know, to see Chris when he actually gets this justice against him, it felt so, because I'm not a very violent person in any way, Greg and everyone here will attest to that, but it was so

satisfying to watch him do that to them after what they tried to do to him and what they've done to other people. So yeah. Definitely. Definitely. Well, I think a good one to transition to next. Go for it. Reject Nation, at the start of this year, I was sitting over 20%

Well, time, Greg, bottled. Monet Gardner. Hey, Monet. I absolutely love the real rejects. You guys are truly my comfort YouTube channel. Thanks. I'm so excited to cover one of my favorite movies of all time uh one my question for you is this is if this sunk in place is all i saw in your question was sunken place if is if this sunken place was a metaphor oh wow this is going to be a

deep-ass question was a metaphor for society's treatment of black voices oh i appreciate the question what do you think your personal sunken place would be it can either be something deeper or more serious that makes you feel trapped and overlooked or it can be less serious funny every day. So this is like for me personally? Oh, I never, I didn't pick up on that. The sun can place a metaphor for society's treatment of black voices. Like, like, I guess

that kind of goes to what I've heard other black artists talk about of like, hey, you got to like, Dave Shabal, I've heard joke about it a lot. Like, you got to be good at rapper basketball. If you're going to make it, I figure out what the joke was, but like the idea of like, we want you physically and all these other things, we like you for them, but

we don't care about the other struggles that you actually have internally like we're going to push you down that's basically a form of using i didn't i actually yeah my god yeah it's like someone fucking knows i should be yeah if we're getting personal here and this is just about me and this is not specified to any one person i just feel like in my in in in everyone i've ever dealt with and met um and again this isn't every single person rather i don't want to say that but i just feel like a lot of times i'm overlooked uh and forgotten about and that's good can i go

Go ahead, I'm done. I'm done. No, no, no. And also, too, like, I feel like a lot of what I have to say, like, a lot of times people are listening to me with one ear and it goes out the other. And what I have to say is not merit-based or, like, really, really listen to. It's like, oh, okay, I'm hearing you. Wait, no, I'm not. And it's like, wait, didn't we talk about this? And again, that's not specific to any one individual. I just, my whole life, I felt like that has been the case. I'm like, I, just feel like truly a forgotten individual just and i know we've got this platform and i get to share joy and i get joy from all of you and i have the best family here that i get to work with i just mean that just everywhere i go i just feel like that happens all the time so i would say that would be my sucking place where there is nobody around me or if there's people and like i could be like hey and like who the fuck are you so that's what i would say i've heard um real listening is when the other person feels not that you listen

but that the other person feels heard because like a lot of times What did you say? I only did that joke was Andrews expressed that to me before I wasn't my first time hearing that but the yeah like when the other person

actually feels heard is real listening because a lot of times yeah I know what it's like where you could be on the phone I caught the last thing you said and I can repeat it but that doesn't mean I've actually heard it sunk in place mine currently is um when i feel like what i'm going through doesn't really matter um you know like there's a lot of tending to other people's stuff constantly and what other people need and then

sometimes i try to use this place as my outlet and then uh then i'll be met with comments of being like you have nothing to complain about do you have a good like you have a this this this and it's like okay so i can never be sad or something i could never be down and then i and i and i and i and i I don't have time to be sad or down either. And that could be my sunken place. I've actually felt that kind of a lot lately where it's like I'm just kind of this, I show up here and I'm just really hollow. And yeah, that's my sunk.

For sure, because you're in such a successful position, you're still not allowed to feel your feelings and be human. Yeah, I mean, but I don't even know what successful even really means for me. I ask that question a lot to people, like what success means. Because I don't know what success means. If it just means like you have some money right now, I mean, I guess if that's,

I think you should take this to heart. You are an extremely good person and I'm not just saying that because I work for you and work with you, but you're one of the nicest, kindest and sweetheartest people I've ever met. So, you know, you should take that to heart, man. Thanks, brother.

You're a sweet guy. Sometimes, you know, only on days I'd end with wife. All right. Clap, clap. Let's go here. Wait a minute. Hold a second. I go on here.

Andrew Nick Kerson, do you think this film suggests that white people's interest in black culture can also be a form of exploitation even if it comes from a place of admiration. Ooh, what a what an excellent question. I mean, I think

for certain white people, yeah, there's definitely a point. I mean, the contention here, the major theme, as I pointed out earlier, is enviism, you know, because we're not born and again. Greg said it earlier. Like, I don't know,

and Greg doesn't know. We haven't done the research on if you're born in a black body. Like, do you have more, a genetic outlook that we are, you know, physique that other people don't have. I don't know, but the film suggested that there was a lot of comments being made by all these white people towards this, you know, individual Chris, like, look at this body, the specimen you are. So, yeah, I think the film was making a major commentary on that. You know, I've definitely, like,

whenever I've just seen anybody, it doesn't matter the color. This is just me personally, you know, anybody I've ever seen you can watch any reaction so I've got proof here anybody who's in great shape regardless of color I go that person's in really fucking good shape so but yeah I can totally when when it comes to the film for sure they were definitely envious of them of Chris rather so yeah what about you? Yeah I think it's a great question you know like the part it stands up to me

is when that Asian dude was asking him like is being African American and has it been harder easier and then makes the mind sort of race to the idea of like there's been, you know, I don't remember exactly what it was like during 2017. Obama was definitely had been president a couple times. That comes from a time too where people are like, see racism demolished. We had a black president, you know. And I think it speaks like greatly to that, but also to the idea that there's been a lot of like, you know, the Black Lives Matter, give the sympathy towards black people, things that are important to acknowledge things that are important to uplift and trying to light on um but that that

question is is the that specific question stood out to me is where i start getting self-conscious about what i'm saying uh that specific question uh stood out to me because when there is such a spotlight on it some people will then disregard um the struggle and feel like people like black people are getting a a pass now or a sympathy pass for things because they're black so oh now you have advantages you know that's when you know before this came out i mean after this came out eventually we got like the whole thing with DEI and people like trying to abolish DEI and stuff and how diversity becomes a problem because now people are getting advantages just because they're diverse and so yes it does become a place where it is where people's interest in black culture can be a form of

exploitation but for sure i guess you know it's teach their own like how do you find the line of taking interest and wanting to shine a light but also uh you know like that's where i think the white savior thing comes in to your question like so many white savior movies are are about that of like the main guys a white person who's uplifting the black people because they have now found a way of interest into the black person so yeah and then we're also and to your point there was also scenes where we saw racial profiling by cops. I'm like, I would hate to have to deal with. Like, I can't relate to this because this doesn't happen to me.

So, and also the way he was talked down to and like, I mean, yeah, they were mentioning his physique in an envious way, but I'm like, why are you talking to him this way? Like, just talk to him like he's a person. Yeah, yeah. So I'm like, I would, I've never been personally talked to that way. I'm like, but I, like, I felt for him in that moment. I'm like, this is awful. You know what I mean?

So totally. Great point though. Clap away, Andrew. Let's see the next. person here. C.P.T. Cordero. Thank you for being a royal reject asking a question. We appreciate it. What's up? Greg and Andrew, what's up?

Glad to see my favorite reaction channel watching my favorite modern horror movie. My question is this. What metaphors for racism that Peel uses throughout did you guys pick up on as a black man? One of my favorite ones was when Jeremy told Chris. Jeremy Johns told Chris Stuckman. Yes. I thought that's what you did. It was when Jeremy told Chris that if he trained hard. he would be a beast and later yeah i did pick up one that too

and later when chris was in bed he saw a stuffed lion on the dresser lines are often referred to as king of beast playing on an old racist trope of black people being like animals are not fully human oh my god i did not catch that one oh my god i should be more racist that's wrong with you gregg

who is wrong with you damn oh no i did not pick up on that this is an interesting you and i would be closer if you were more reasons what's wrong i mean i don't really know what else to like uh add on it's it's more like this the subtlety lines that i i thought were those that was my favorite part of like the racial exposure ones is the ones where um those approaching as allies are actually saying shit that is uh you know pretty messed up like yeah there's like microaggressions and everything but i think we've like that's the thing we picked up on a lot of explosion a lot of what we already picked up on definitely we also talked really quick about like the envious side of the grandpa on why he started this whole thing but i also feel like to this godlike complex that they had and this white supremacy nature in their family they just didn't feel like black people were like a part of society and like as if they can be controlled they should be allowed and so like i picked up a lot of that at least i interpreted it yeah definitely i appreciate that

Yeah, that was a great. Yeah, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Arlene Doro, I love this movie, and subsequently, Jordan Peel as a director right out the gate. Like Hickcock, he makes very deliberate choices and every detail has significance. For me, this movie stands out as the first to point out the hypocrisy that is sometimes present and liberals. We're supposed to be the good guys. It's also the first movie to deal with racism from a black gaze perspective.

That's the word I've been looking for, black gaze. Do you plan on reviewing Peel's other films? Yeah, we got us. on the list. That is one that I did see and I did not understand. That is one that I did not get. So I've been really wanting to, that was my main takeaway is I don't get it. So that's one where I feel like you have to get it in order to like it because I was like, I didn't get it.

Totally understandable. So I have already been wanting to rewatch that. And then I've covered Nope on the channel. That's the one Jordan PL film. I really feel like I got the first go around. And you and Tara are going to be watching that? I believe we were watching that very soon. And I've not seen us either.

Yeah, we can do us together. Everyone else has seen us and I've been the one who's been like wanting to do it. Yeah, after this film, I'm down for any Jordan Peele films. I'm in. All right. Thanks for that question. Thanks for that, uh, the ability to point all that out. Like gaze per second.

That's the fucking farmer's looking for. All right, Janice Bragg. Thank you, Janice for being real reject. That's some question. We appreciate it. Hello. I'm one of those people who watches movies and audibus. commentate us too.

The moment that I would get some gone, at what point in the movie would you have gotten out? Oh, I know exactly what. The moment I got there and just the way they were speaking to me and the looks that Georgina and the groundskeeper were giving them,

like, shit's fucked up around you. I'm the honey, babe, I'm out of here. Like, you're coming with me or I'm, I don't know. What about you? The moment where I was like, I'm 100% checking out of here would be. after Lakeith Sandfield comes back from being re-hypnotized.

Oh, the, the flash moment, right? After the flash. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Flash moment happens. The guy behaves weird. Like, all right, maybe I'll stick around. But then after he comes back, I'm like, no, they're definitely hypnotizing black people. I need to get out of here.

That is when I would have taken off. 100%. The other one for me in a more serious manner, when the phone was unhooked and the way Georgina was bad, I'm like, something is really off here. I'm getting out of here. So I would say, yeah, yeah. For sure, God, and like, knowing me, I'd be like, I don't want to look like a bad guy. So I would probably stick around.

But the part where I would have most likely just bailed would be at that moment where I'm like, they're definitely like controlling people here. I need to get out of here. Yeah. Take it away. All right. From Pierre, the Reject. Thank you for being a real reject for asking a question.

We appreciate it. Hey, Greg and Andrew. It's up here. Thanks for reacting to my favorite horror movie. Who is your favorite portrayal in the film? Who gave the favorite performance or character? it's Chris. I mean,

it's got to be Chris. I would say, and Rod, too. I love both of them, but I would say Chris, just again, for the reasons I expressed earlier, it's just,

I think he really grounded down the film with his vulnerability, his charm. I loved how resourceful he was, and like he could always tell someone who's up, his facial expressions, just let us in on the terror

and the suspense of what was going on. And it's just, I've never really seen him and anything else. And this was, I was like, holy shit,

he's a great. A lot of that is, my favorite parts of his performance he's got the big moments like with the tears and all that are beautiful but the is really like the smaller shit of like in conversation when there's like genetic modification or whatever the fuck and he's

saying uh he has to like smile and not like the way he does that you're like oh shit like you could tell you could see what he's really thinking and you could also see how subtle he's doing it that the person who's saying it to him wouldn't pick up on

the fact that he is not actually taking this in in a positive way. I thought he was a pitch perfect performance. I don't know if he won anything for it, but out of that, I would say my second favorite performance. I mean, yeah, the guy plays raw, L. L. Ray, I think he's Wilson Williams was really good, too. Allison Williams is up for sure.

That would be my one. Yeah, really good. I would say Jordan Peel did a great job directing the actors, too, in my opinion. Oh, he's brilliant. This is a composed-ass movie. Flap for me, my friend, Nikki Sunrisa. This movie is fantastic and the layers are ridiculous. One of my favorite hints about the twist

that you don't realize until a second watch when Rose argues with the cop she's preventing a paper trail so that when Chris disappears there will be no Oh literally your favorite of comment that follows What was your favorite? Oh that's five

moments. Oh I didn't even see that We literally had that right here with your thing. That makes total sense but also too on top of that I thought it was a way for Jordan Peel to get emotionally manipulate us the as well as Chris to like there's no way this girl is part or this woman is part of this plan with her family like look how much she loves and cares for this guy but there's a double

mantra there that's brilliant yes that is so brilliant oh my god that's clever i never would have picked up on that because yeah then even when uh rod calls and and she's like what did you tell the police i just want miss oh yeah so smart ah that's so smart thank you for pointing that out it might have actually happened with andrew when he pointed out to me the the idea with the grandpa of assuming that he only won because he was black that he lost because the other person was black I'm like oh damn I didn't I didn't pick up on that for somewhere

like that's the whole point of what they're doing I didn't really lose this was unfair I didn't have the genetics to beat this man yeah yeah yeah this person was born with this yeah that's probably my favorite one yeah that was thank you for sharing I thought just I love how we reacted So, oh, shit. That's literally the next one. I didn't read that.

It was a genuine both from us. Thank you so much, Nikki. You buddy. Michael? Yeah. Michael Pennant. Thank you for being a royal region. I asked the question.

We appreciate it. When I saw this in theaters at the scene early on, when the deer jumping in front of the car, someone yelled at the top of their lungs. Oh, hell now. And his singing voice? The full theater started dying laughing. It was one of the most memorable.

movie theater experiences i've had what is a movie theater memory that you've had that sticks out to you i don't want one of greggs is me not shutting the yeah and he was biting his tongue like chris like fuck off i love you shout up uh what uh i remember watching master and commander and someone let off a smoke bomb in there so then we had to leave the theater that matt master and come oh the one with russell crow yeah i saw that 2000 i don't remember about that movie i was kind of bored i was young i didn't appreciate it then

apparently it's an amazing ass movie i've heard that too but i don't remember yeah i didn't have a smoke bomb in there but that is a memory what is a theater going memory outside of all the avengers endgame moments i remember spoiling not spoiling i've just given craig my predictions uh that was kind of you not to tell me to shut the eff up because like

looking back i'm like god damn that it was annoying i can only imagine for you um one of my best theater. You know what? Anytime I don't know if this is, this is such an easy answer to go with, but anytime I get to go with my friends or my family, like those are my favorite moments because I get to experience

moments of joy and connectivity and something we can bond over. So I know that's not the most exciting answer, but like, I have those memories. Like if there's a, if you name a movie for me right now, I can tell you what movie theater I went to. You could say the movie, Nutty Professor.

I can tell you what theater and where it was. You could say Batman, the one where he slept with Commissioner Gordon's daughter. I know I saw that with Greg in a certain thing. And we met Aaron, I have all these crazy memories. It's the, it's the connection I have with my friends when I went to theater. Those are those memories I have for me. And that's the most important thing rather than maybe a smoke bomb going up, which is a crazy-ass memory, by the way.

But, like, that's what I hold on to is those memories, and they mean a lot to me. That's a beautiful answer, my friend. Clap away. Oh, sorry. Angela Vance. You're in for a real ride. Crazy. What do you think about someone using your body as a shell and you can't do anything about it? You're there, but not there. That's creepy as hell. Scary for real.

Is that not happening right now? Am I really in control? I feel like we're in the Matrix anyways. The scary part that, like, there's two versions. There's like being John, have you seen Being John Malcovic? One of my favorite movies directed by Spike Jones, 1999, which Catherine Keener was also in, but continue. Yeah, see, like, that's a fun way to take over someone's body. Like, I would, I've, that would be a fun-ass fantasy to, like, fulfill. Not for John Malkovich, but yes, agreed. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'd be fun.

Take over some like porn star's body. Hey, I lasted longer than 10 seconds. Yes. Something like that, you know. But the other part is, but this version, when they said like you're just forever in the sunken place, like, like, voiceless. Oh, voiceless and just hollow and just like this, this purgatory terror. That is horrifying. So what do I think about it?

I think that is an awful thing. That's what I think about it. Yeah, I think it's terrible too. I mean, you are literally stuck and you are literally not free and you're a slave, literally. Yeah. I mean, that's the reality. So, yeah, not being able to actually move or like being in control. I mean, what a terrible thing.

I mean, might as well not be alive at that point. Yeah, that's horrible. So thank you so much. Tim. Tim porkroll Tim appreciate you dude We love those shirts That you got Tara and I

For Stranger Things I think it was Tim Porcrow I'm apologies if it was someone else I believe it was Tim Thank you for the question Being a Royal Reject Ah yes the movie That made Jordan Peel a horror icon

With such a stacked cast Who gave your favorite performance And what was your favorite scene We answered the favorite performance Favorite scene The scene where he killed all of them That was my favorite I mean the twist too

with the daughter, that was good because you really didn't see it coming. I just, I love a good twist when it's not forced and it's subtle and it just, you don't. It really comes out of left field, but it also services the plot as well as the characters. So I like the twist as well, but again, the satisfaction of seeing him decimate, like using those genetics, that busy body of his to take out these horrific people that, in my opinion, did not deserve to live. So what about you? of a favorite scene it would probably be the rose or like starting from the rose photos to when she does take out the keys i think that whole section is like brilliant yeah because like that's so

you could it's such a mind meld on chris and you could tell chris is also kind of wondering like is she being hypnotized is she being manipulated otherwise i think you would have just bailed and taking the keys you know because he was still trying to get out of there with her so i love the complexity to that scene and uh the performance of alison williams I think the whole sequence was just, it's brilliant and it's incredible. It tells a lot with just visuals. It's a great point. Yeah, I know.

Because if you would have just got the key reveal, I'm like, okay, there were a couple times suddenly where she said a few lines, but that, that visual narration was like, that gives everything. Oh, sorry. Ronnie H. Hey, everybody. What do you think was the intended message behind Get Out? To not be racist.

And don't take over people's bodies. Don't enslave black people. Yeah. Well, also, too, just black people are just, they're people like. of us. There's nothing different about them in that sense and that they deserve to be three times. But just treat everyone like with respect and everyone deserves

to be treated the same way. Like that's the intended message I got and how I interpreted it. What about you? I'm sure I know that's not a deep answer but I'm trying to think of the time of when it came out. 2017 and I don't remember what the world was really like but

what I recall of that time, especially around the Obama time with the conversation. is that people were acting like racism was not a fucking problem and now it's weird because you watch this today and you're like no we all we're all way more aware like no racism is definitely like a super real problem that has not gone anywhere like it's it's really bad

and this movie I think does a really good job on shining a light on making people aware that's why I like that's why I keep emphasizing in the socialization sequences of the movie in that first half of when you're not aware that you're saying something that might not be racist

and also the idea of like what someone said earlier the black gaze of how that in and of itself can be exploitative. Yeah. That was, those are things that I don't like, there's other versions of like movies that you see that really explore racism in like the quote unquote

hood movies or whatever the fuck or even remember the Titans like shit like that, which are more like overt and very much like racos I'm bad and this does it in a way that's more modern and that I really like of like it's more like every day to day life with someone we might not realize you're doing that yeah just to see how that how like everyone's just behaving and I mean you said the Barack Obama line that they said was twice even a line like I love Tiger Woods I'm like okay there's other golf I mean he's one of the most famous golfers for sure you know I might mention the name Tiger Woods but I but there's other golfers.

First to mention, you don't have to specifically single out Tiger. You can say Tiger Woods, there's Phil Mickelson. There's other, I mean, I don't know golf every well, but I'm just making a point. I'm like, so yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, one of my best friends, AJ who used to work at a, I probably shouldn't say where he worked, but he would tell me about like how he's black and he would tell me about like at his job that whatever some like, you know, crime thing got reported in the news that people would treat him at work differently that day or would be like, hey, I hurt.

heard about this. Are you okay? He's like, I don't know who this person is. He's the same. I didn't do anything. I'm not involved with this. I'm good. It's a constant of kind of what Chris was talking about here. It's like a stigma of, of him of them. And I think that's what what Daniel Kalalia portrays so well is him having to constantly remind himself like their intentions are good. Even though it's not exactly good. What's happening. But they're intending good things. they're trying to say they're like they're on board with black people again you can be direct but just just treat people like normal yeah that's some general questions here that Andrew definitely can't answer AJ love do you think any Jordan's movies could be connected in some way we will answer that properly for you in the future my friend yeah I can't respond to that that would be fun keep that question in mind so we get through the mall and see if you can connect them all for sure and then give another clap Christine, thank you for asking the question. Being a real reject, we appreciate it.

And Andrew and Greg sending prayers and hugs from Chicago. Thank you, Christine. I appreciate it. You guys all at Rejignation have been fantastic. I appreciate y'all. Where does this rank in your list of Jordan Peel movies? I am sorry, this is the first one I can't answer. Do you believe in hypnosis?

Have you ever tried it? I've tried it a couple times. I've never done it. I didn't personally do anything for me. I really tried hard. I tried like, I've got a crazy-ass mind. and brain that just overthinkes and is overloaded. So me,

I'm sure that has something to do with it. I've heard it works with certain people. Yeah. It just personally did not work for me. So I... Yeah. Well, but if anyone wants to take over my body and try it, you can go ahead. Final question today. The man with the

RR.R. Tatt, Eric Horstman. Hey, Gene, how do you eat your cereal? Like a madman. I just have like, it falls on the table, the floor. My wife. at me somehow like when I pour it in the kitchen it there's there's stuff on the kitchen it gets on my beard my face even when I don't really have a bit like I am not I don't eat like weirdly like she does with like a glass of milk but when I eat a bowl of cereal I'm loud I am I have a

chomping problem like people bitch about the way I chew gum so yeah I'm not a pleasant person to be around when eating cereal I like I just want to like I really make a note I'm eating cereal. I kind of want to be around you just to see this. It's not a pretty experience. How do I? Well, first, I look at my intended victims and I have my ear, but I usually have a movie, a TV show, or a podcast, something I'm listening to.

That's number one. I usually just put it in a bowl. I put some milk in it. And then I have a spoon, not one to hypnotize people, just wanted to use it, you know, to eat out of. And then I eat it. I know that sounds really exciting, but it's simplistic, right? So that's how I eat my cereal.

Usually fruit loops, if I ever go there. I haven't had cereal in a while. I'm more of a cooker now, but that used to be what I cook with Pop-Tarts and cereal. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, we're done for today. I will get out now, guys. Appreciate all your questions.

Yeah, thank you, guys. I still got like a few more hours of work to get through. So appreciate you guys for being here. Thanks for all the in-depth questions. Thanks, Andrew. I'm glad I got to be here next to you to experience your first time with Get Out. It was amazing. we'll see you guys soon

or rejects keep a look at we'll probably cover us yes
