Enjoy. Enjoy. This is Emily. Henley. And Sammy. And you're listening to Too Scary. Didn't Watch. Hi everyone, welcome to Too Scary Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too

scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sammy and I like watching scary movies so I watch them so that you don't have to except for this week. Not this week, baby.

We all watch, but we're not going to talk about it yet. We won't tell you what it is. We won't tell you what it is. Don't look at the title. Don't look at the title. We're not telling you yet. We had one woman one time write to us that she listens to her podcasts on random in

her car, so she really doesn't know what the episode is. And so any car listeners out there, this suspense is for you. We do this for you. We do this for you. For the car listeners, what is up with us? Other than the fact that you guys just

watched me kill a mosquito with my bare hands yeah that was fucking cool that was badass pretty cool what else is up you go ahead no you go sammy no you no i have to think of something. Okay, okay, okay. I have a movie that I edited coming out this month. Oh, my God. Wait, now's the time. That I can talk about. We can talk about it now. Yeah, it was just announced today on The Wrap. And listeners, the movie is called Attack of the Murder Hornets.

Oh my God, can you even believe it? Name a fucking cooler name than that. I don't think you can. You absolutely can't. It is a documentary. It will be on Discovery+. Discovery Plus just launched in January, so I don't actually know anything about it i don't know how much it is hopefully there's a free trial period and we can all get that sweet free trial

and watch it and then cancel or support discovery i mean i think they've been pretty nice in my experience working with them good to know but way, please watch it. I worked really hard on it and so did everybody involved. It's why she was away in Washington State in that big ol' house. Yep. We lost our Sammy. LA lost our Sammy for months while she worked so hard

on this freaking cool documentary about murder hornets. Guys, I've had some honey from, not the hornets from bees in that area spoiler alert they're in the dock and um that honey is good yeah it's honestly i don't think that i will buy honey from the store anymore buy honey from your local beekeepers it's genuinely like so much better it's so good the consistency is different everything it's like what even there's no going back it's worth it and it like has the flavors of like your local uh uh plants flora flora it can have like there's like

it probably wouldn't have any taste of the fauna but yes the bees of fauna the bees of fauna can i ask a question this is this is a weird nitpicky question but i feel like whenever i buy like local honey it comes in a jar and that i have to use a spoon to extract the honey from and i just gotta say i strongly prefer a squeezy bottle for the honey it really makes a difference you know uh the i mean this is in washington so i don't know about down here but the people that we bought them from they have they have a squeezy bear the nostalgic bear they call it i need that because you just gotta find you gotta find the right... You just got to find the bear. I will say that the one that I have eaten from the bees, from the famous bees, is in a jar. But the consistency, it's not really squeezable.

You want to spread it. I think there's spreadable honey. There's honey to be spread and there's honey to be squeezed. Got it. You got a creamed honey. Okay, that makes sense. Creamed honey. It's a little different.

They have all different kinds. This is sponsoredamed honey. Oh, okay. That makes sense. Creamed honey. It's a little different. They have all different kinds. This is sponsored by honey. Sponsored by the bees. We love the bees. We love this doc. I've seen a version of the doc. I don't know. It will be different, the final,

what ends up on Discovery, but it's so fucking good. Sammy is such a good editor. She's so good at what she does. And a documentary editor, I mean, you make that fucking move. I know. So much of it is in the editor's hands. It's incredible. It's fun.

We're just, we're all, I know everyone here listening right now, we're all so proud of our Sammy and we're so excited to see this documentary. And it's fucking cool. It's about murder hornets. The thing we all are desperate to know more about god it's cool when does it come out sammy february 20th on discovery plus it's soon happy valentine's day to us i know on the 20th day treat i know oh my god i'm excited. And I'm so proud of you, Sammy. Thank you, guys.

What's up with you guys? Emily, you go. What happened to you this week? Wow. Nothing. Oh, OK. So we haven't done this in a while, but like earlier in the pandemic um joel and i would do like little theme nights um every so often because you know we're not there's nothing going on and we had talked for a while about doing this a particular theme night that we just never got around to and then we both

had sort of like just long kind of crappy weeks last week yeah Yeah, the work stuff and like the shutdown ended. So I went back to work, which is kind of a good thing, but also kind of a bad thing because people are still dying a lot and it's weird. But so it's like a long week. So we decided it was time to do this particular theme night, which was Dive Bar Night. Oh, so fun.

And I highly recommend, listeners, I highly recommend Dive Bar Night. I recommend Dive Bar Night. I recommend Rain Day. Rain Day sounds perfect to follow Dive Bar Night. You know what? It's a great one to punch. Dive Bar Night is pretty simple. like similar air, like Bruce Springsteen, and took whiskey shots and drank beer and ate fried food. And it fucking ruled.

And we felt very bad afterwards because I haven't had like a night full of fried food in a long time. But it was great. And it's fun because if you're like this is a thing i'm eating bad food and and taking shots in my own home because it's a thing and anyway it was just really fun i had a great time it looked really fun and you're leaving out one of the most impressive parts which is that joel himself was the chef and like hand fried the chef did the full frying on all of these different things did the mozzarella sticks did the chicken fingers made homemade

french fries i was so impressed homemade ranch homemade ranch is probably the most important was quite impressive and very good. It was very good. So whether you're making it yourself, whether you're ordering from your favorite local diaper, which we did consider and might do at another time. I like a theme night, especially during quarantine. It's just a fun way to be

like, hey, tonight's a little bit different. So we did that this week and it was quite a nice time sounds um wonderful and it does sound wonderful um well you're up i it's happened i don't leave my house as everyone knows um i especially didn't this week because new york had a big old snowstorm. A big one. A big guy. It started snowing on Sunday night and it snowed straight through Tuesday and we got almost two feet of snow. Wow. That is so wild. I know. And it was really it was you know, so I went out I went out once during the snowstorm to go to the grocery store.

And I was like, this is a mistake because the wind was blowing so hard. I couldn't see anything. And it was extremely dangerous to be walking. But I needed to go to the grocery store. So I went out then. And then a couple of days later, after things had calmed down a little bit i went out to the park and it was really cute to see all the kids sledding like every single kid in new york city was like outside sledding if they could be because like they're all trapped in their apartments they don don't have anything to do. Talk about a theme night. I know. Talk about a theme night.

And so, you know, I haven't been doing much. But I did also want to say that I watched the two Euphoria specials that came out. Oh, how are they? I haven't watched them yet. I really enjoyed them. So I don't know. Did you guys watch Euphoria, the series? Yeah.

I did not. But perhaps I should. Honestly Emily I think you'll really like it Yeah I loved it. I loved it and they were about to start shooting season 2 when COVID hit and so instead they rewrote and made these two specials one

Oh instead of a full season? Well they're going gonna do another full season but they did these two as kind of an in-between because for like COVID protocols it was easier to do just like two actors in a room basically and so

the first one is Rue and her sponsor talking in a diner and it's just like an hour I love him too he's he's um he's in if beale street could talk and what was he just in that i just watched ma rainey's black bottom he is so emily's favorite quality watchable i think he's like so great i can't remember his name i'm sorry i can't remember his name either in the show it's Ali. But you have to be in order to pull these specials off because it's literally just them talking.

It's just a conversation. It felt like a really good play. It felt like watching a really good play. Yeah. And I was sobbing by the end of it. You won't be surprised. By the end of that episode, I was. I also cried during the next one which is Jules talking

to her therapist dang these sound intense I'm excited maybe I'll watch one tonight oh it's really good Sammy I'm excited to hear what you think about them listeners know I love to cry I know well you will cry I cried so much

the thing that's cool about the Jules episode is that Hunter Schaefer was really involved in writing it and producing it. And so it comes from like a very personal perspective. And then also she's like a very there's like a cool after the episode look. And she talks about how she's a very visual person. And so in this episode, there are a lot more like intense visual things that happened, unlike in the Rue one, which were very compelling. And I was totally down for. And I can't wait to hear what you think, Sammy and Emily. Can't wait for you to watch so we can talk about it as well. I'm sold.

OK, well, I'm pretty deep into exclusively Riverdale, so we'll see i can my brain can handle it euphoria is a completely different teen teen drama tone interesting interesting okay can it be done i don't know can any other show be good i don't know all right we have kept our car listeners specifically in suspense for long enough oh my gosh it's time to tell them what movie we are doing this week and it is an exciting one this week we will be talking about get out written and directed by jordan peele starring daniel kaluuya allison williams bradley whitford katherine keener lil ray how Howery, and Caleb Landry Jones. And boy, oh boy, what a great movie.

I'm so happy that we're doing this movie. I'm so happy that I rewatched it. I, this movie is so good. It's so good. This movie is so good.

Okay, I am so, okay, I'm, I'm getting overwhelmed. I don't know why. I'm just really excited that we're doing this movie i am also so i was thinking about doing this movie today and i didn't watch scary movies before this movie came out in fact when it first came out i put off watching it for a really long time so i was like i'm going to be too scared but then it it was

became apparent that it was too important of a movie to not watch so you know i think we didn't want to do this movie for a long time on the podcast because it feels like everyone has seen it. It's like so I can't remember a time before Get Out was an important movie. Right. Even though it only came out in 2017, which is crazy to me because it feels

like it's been around forever in this weird way now. But then I also got very nervous to do it when I was thinking about it today because it is so important and because I am very much a white lady in the world. All of us are. All of us are. All of us are. Very intensely white ladies in the world.

My whole my life I've lived my lived experience is that of a white lady very much so and so we are doing this movie because we love this movie and we're very excited to doing this movie because we love this movie. And we're very excited to do this movie. And also that is the only perspective we are able to offer firsthand of this movie.

I just felt the need to say that. And unfortunately, we're that Alison Williams. We still are. And you know what? We'll get there. We're obviously going to recap the movie. That's what we do. But something about re-watching this movie in this moment, especially

knowing how it ends and not being scared and being able to really take it in, it affected me differently for many reasons. But mainly, a big one was like, yeah, we are her and there is we'll get there. But this movie isn't meant to make you feel comfortable and it definitely achieves that goal. And I'm not proud to be her, but I am her. Well, you know, there's some stuff that I'm not.

But anyway. I was going to say. I'm not totally her. I hope not. No, don't worry. And I don't have a secret basement. Don't even try to come look. But also, man, aside from just how important it is,

you can't really extract one from the other. But this movie is just so fucking good. I think that's what made it such like this huge moment in not just horror cinema, cinema. It's like this movie is going to be taught in film school forever for the rest of time. And it's because like, yeah, not only is it is like the message the writing like everything is so is so good and like the meaning of it is so important but exactly that it's also just like so good every piece of it yeah agreed and obviously you know it's jordan peele who is known for being a comedian and so one of the things that makes the movie so good is it's jordan peele who is known for being a comedian and so one of the things that

makes the movie so good is it's fucking hilarious like there are parts that are very attention at all the right moments it is so well written it yeah that was another crazy thing about re-watching and like looking up trivia and stuff today of just thinking about because again this was only 2017 and at that moment this was the first thing Jordan Peele had directed he was known as like this comedy guy from Key and Peele and which is also fucking great but now because of Get Out I

think of him as a director as an incredible he's directed other projects he so it's so interesting to look back at like watch now looking back in time because he is clearly such an incredible director. But this was this, like, very surprising moment at the time. Hello, fellow cocktail drinkers. This week, we will be making a flash cocktail for reasons you will soon discover after listening to our recap.

The ingredients in a flash are 1.5 oz gin, 1 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz simple syrup, 2 slices peeled kiwi, and 2 slices peeled cucumber. In a shaker, muddle the kiwi and cucumber with lemon juice. Add your gin, simple syrup, and ice. Shake well to combine. Fine strain into a glass and garnish with a thin slice of kiwi. Cheers! Should we get into some trivia? Let's do the trivia.

Well, first I'll also say that it is streaming on FX if you have a cable login, or it's available to rent for $3.99. It has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, an 85% on Metacritic, and a 7.7 on IMDb, which is pretty good for IMDb. IMDb always like ranks things the lowest, I feel like, because there's so many. That's like where trolls go to rate stuff. Trolls! Oh, the the budget was 4.5 million it made 255 million big commercial success and it was nominated for four oscars best picture best director best screenplay and best actor and it won Best Screenplay. As we know, horror is not very normally recognized at the Oscars.

So it's I think it's the only ones that have ever been nominated are The Exorcist, Jaws, Silence of the Lambs, The Sixth Sense, and Black Swan. And Daniel Kaluuya was given the lead role on the spot after nailing his audition. I believe that. And Jordan Peele said that they did the scene in which he is being hypnotized and crying and like silent tears falling out of his eyes and he said each take was so perfect and the single tear came at the exact same time for each take which i don't know how the fuck you do but these are real tears coming out of his eyes um just another piece of trivia which is fun is that they were gonna shoot it in california but they lost out on the

california tax rebate so they had to shoot it in fairhope alabama which i've like never heard of any production shooting in alabama before but i guess that's a thing and it was after they started filming after trump won yeah which is an insane context in which to shoot this particular movie in Alabama. Yeah, so there's a fun oral history on Vulture where they talk a little bit about that. And they say at first it was a little

frightening because there are Confederate flags everywhere and Trump signs everywhere, but then also Jordan Peele says that it defied a lot of their stereotypes and a lot of everyone they met there was very open and kind. Southerners are really nice. I lived in the South for four years and I did really like a lot of it. It's complicated.

It's a complicated place. I'm sure there are a lot of people who are not nice, but they had a good experience. And there are a lot of people who are not nice, but they had a good experience there anyway. And there are a lot of people who are nice and also racist. Yeah. Yes. That is they can be kind to you and also a racist. Exactly. You know, it's one of those, you

love when you watch a movie and you're like, this movie's great and you know that it's great. To know that a movie is great and then to rewatch it and have it surpass how great you thought it was that is that never happens it's the screenplay really is like perfect there's like not a wasted line like it's a great movie to rewatch because of how much everything is foreshadowing like nothing is just like a thrown in line. So like, absolutely.

If you haven't seen this movie twice, you need to watch it again. Like it's it's it must be viewed twice at least. I remember when this happened. Chance the Rapper loved it so much that he bought all of the tickets to a theater in Chicago just so people could go see it for free. I haven't thought about Chance the Rapper in a while. I love Chance the Rapper. Yeah, what's he up to? What's he up to? He's quarantining in like how

we all are probably. I've never felt more connected to Chance the Rapper. We're doing the same thing. And then I thought this was interesting. The composer, this was his first score. It's a great score and the main theme is called sikiliza

it's sung in swahili with the exception of the english word brother a word which composer michael ables felt had a special universal meaning among black people that did not need translation and according to ables the voices in the song represent the souls of black slaves and lynching victims trying to warn chris to get away the translation of the lyrics is brother run listen to the elders listen to the truth run away save yourself oh my god that gave me chills that song is i'm assuming that's the song that is played in the like during the title beginning and then at the end as well. Yeah.

Because it is. I'm glad you looked that up because I had meant to look it up because that song is like you. Obviously, I didn't know the words until you just said them, but you feel it and it is. It's a great. Yeah. It's a great song. All right. Let's watch this trailer.

Let's watch this trailer. You got your toothbrush. Sure. You got your toothbrush? Check. Do you have your deodorant? Check. Do you have your cozy clothes? Got that. What?

To the known black. Should I? You might want her, you know. Mom and dad, my black boyfriend will be coming up this weekend. I just don't want you to be shocked that he's a black man. I ain't never seen you like this before brother meet family taking road trips Don't come back all bougie bad come back get your damn pants up to your damn stomach So you guys coming up from the city, yeah, I'm just heading up for the weekend. Can I see your license, please? He wasn't driving.

I didn't ask who was driving. I asked to see his ID. Call me Dean and you'll hug me, my man. So how long has this been going on, this thing? We hired Georgina and Walter to help care for my parents. When they died, I couldn't bear to let them go. Do you smoke in front of my daughter? I'm gonna quit. She'd take care of that for you. How? Hypnosis.

I'm good, actually. You ready for this? I'm back in the beat. So look, I go do my research. Apparently, a whole bunch of brothers been missing in this suburb. But it's cool. Bro, how you not scared of this, man? Good to see another brother around here.

Chris was just telling me how he felt much more comfortable with my being here. Get out. Sorry, man. Get out! Yo! Rose, we gotta go. Is everything okay? Rose, the keys. Just get the keys.

I don't know where they are. Rose! Sink into the floor. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Sink. Mine's a terrible thing to waste. A terrible thing to waste terrible thing to waste if there's too many white people i get nervous no no no no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I will say that's a good trailer. It's hard for me to parse out having like knowing the movie. I think this is a movie that is best to go in blind. I 100% agree. I feel like that trailer.

Don't watch the trailer if you haven't seen the movie. Do not do that to yourself. But do listen to us tell you. I mean, yeah, I guess that's true. I mean, it would make me want to watch the movie, but I'm so... I think the first time I saw this movie, I had no idea what it was going to be. And I'm so glad that I didn't because it's such a fascinating reveal. Like, it's like the way they, like, unroll it bit by bit is so wonderful.

Oh, my God. Okay, should we just fucking get into it let's get into it i used to love back to school shopping so much that i would tell my mom that i wanted to work at staples when i grew up because i just loved getting all the things that i needed that i would use every day in class i still to this day have nightmares about showing up in class without notebooks or number two pencils. Really scary stuff. But luckily I wake up and I realize I don't actually need notebooks or number two pencils anymore. But this fall there is something that I will be using every day and would be terrified to be caught without, and that's Raycon's best-selling everyday earbuds.

I've been trying to go on walks every day, and so I need earbuds that I can rely on to listen to all my favorite podcasts, and I know you guys listen to podcasts as well, so you know what I'm talking about. you guys listen to podcasts as well, so you know what I'm talking about. I got my Raycons in carbon black because that's my vibe, but they come in other cool colors as well, like forest green and brush violet. But my favorite thing about them is the battery life. They stay charged for 32 hours and they have a new quick charge function. So 10 minutes of charging gets you 90 minutes of battery life.

We see him. He's on his cell phone. He's walking through a what appears to be a suburban neighborhood It's night time he says on the phone that he's Lost he's talking to his friend and like I gotta get out of this fucking suburb I'm like the only person here who looks like me He is black and he

Is saying like man why would they Put like main street Next to main way or like Why wouldn't they anyway he's lost Walking around I love it it's already like Making like white Main Street next to Main Way or like, why wouldn't they? Anyway, he's lost walking around. I love it. It's already like making like white people's area is like the scary place. Oh, yeah.

And it's so effectively. It's like the street is like basically the street from Halloween. This is like where all horror movies take place. That is supposed to usually be like, oh, sweet home. And like, he's a nice place to be. He's scared right right off the bat he's like fuck this place is creepy as hell like he immediately knows i shouldn't be here like i like it is uncomfortable for me to be here and i feel like this is a bad idea right um hangs up the phone turns a corner we see and he sees a like white car um pull up behind him driving slowly and he gives me like nope nope nope not gonna don't want to deal with this tonight i think he

even says like nope not me not tonight nope um and we see the car pull over and park. So he's like, no, I'm going to go back the way I came. Turns the corner, goes, tries to go back down the street. Turns around, sees that the car door is open. The driver's side door is open. Brings his head back around. The dude's fucking right there. A dude in a mask. Hits him over the head.

Like choke holds him, knocks him out, and then just drags him and throws him in the trunk of the car. This is while the song Run Rabbit Run is playing in the background, which is this like creepy song from like World War Two. That is just the epitome of like a creepy white person song. Yeah. Very like old timey. Yeah like a creepy white person song. Yeah, very like old timey. Yeah, creepy white person song. It's absolutely what it is. Cut to

we're inside of an apartment. We're seeing these black and white photographs on the walls. Stay woke is playing. It made me it was like I remember the exact moment this song came out and

we see that this is Chris's apartment Chris is our protagonist he is a photographer so these are his photos on the wall he is shaving getting himself ready packing up a bag his girlfriend

Allison Williams her character name is Rose. She's stopping by a bakery, coming over to see him. She knocks on the door. He opens it. They kiss. They're clearly, they're just a sweet couple, very into each other. We learn that he is packing to go stay at Rose's family's house. It's the first time he is meeting the parents. And as he is packing, she's like sitting with his dog,

Sid, on the couch and realizes that he's like, did you bring your toothbrush, bring your deodorant? And he seems a little off. She's like, okay, what's going on and he says does your family know that i'm black and she sort of makes light she says no and then sort of makes light of it like oh what you know as if he's being silly and sort of overly concerned like as if racism doesn't exist yeah why would i tell them that you're black and he says well you you know you're the first you said i'm the first black i've ever dated and you know it might be a thing you're black? And he says, well, you know, you're the first you said I'm the first black I've ever dated. And, you know, it might be a thing. You're bringing me home to your parents.

I don't, you know, not gonna be what they expect. She says, you know, they are not racist. My family is not racist. My dad would have voted for Obama a third time if he could have. And, you know, iconic, iconic line at this point. And she's like, you know i only she sort of jokes she gets like i only say that because he will absolutely tell you and it's going to be annoying you know they're like they're lame parents but they're definitely not racist

um i'm you know i wouldn't bring you home if that were the case they kiss they sort of reconcile they're you know uh just a nice couple. She said something that made me really cringe where she goes. Yeah, my dad would have voted for Obama for a third time. The love is so real. The love is so real. And I was just like, oh, I will say rewatch it again, knowing again, knowing how this movie ends. This moment in particular, there are several moments in rewatch where I where I was like, oh my God, I want to leave my skin.

This was one where I was like, oh no. This is every liberal white person on the face of the planet. And I include myself in that. And it is uncomfortable to watch a person be like, it's fine, we're not racist. We liked Obama. You are silly for thinking there would even be an issue

because we're all good. Everything's fine. We are not like that. We call that gaslighting. We call that gaslighting. We also call that gaslighting. We call that gaslighting. We also call that fucking stupidity because we are not post-racial

anyway. They start to drive. They're going they live in New York City. We learn they're driving like to, I don't know where do rich New York people live outside of the city? Westchester. Okay, Westchester. I don't know. They're driving to sort of the country

outside of New York City. Chris calls his friend Rod who is watching their dog or Chris's dog while they're gone talking to Rod. It's fun. Rod's funny. He's like sort of poking fun at him for going home to visit the white

girlfriend's parents. There's like a little flirtation back and forth with Rod. And Rose sort of makes fun of him. He hangs up on Rod. And they almost immediately hit a deer. The deer like flies. It flies. It just lunges out of the woods at their car.

It's a big old jump scare. Huge jump scare. Because they're having like a little fun flirty moment joking about Rod. So they like pull over. They're both very shaken up. We hear the deer kind of moaning off in the woods so Chris gets out of the car to go

check on it and we see him just sort of staring at it in the woods. Cut to Rose is called the like Casa Highway Patrol and he's sort of explaining to her you know normally you should call animal control you know everything's fine uh the cop he's a white cop uh then asks rose was driving by the way um the car the cop asks looks at chris and asks to see his id and rose immediately gets pissed and i was like why he wasn't driving and the cops decided to ask who was driving i asked to see his id and she's

like that's bullshit you don't why would you need to see his id uh and sort of you know as rightly calls out essentially that he is being racist and wanting to see the black man's ID for no reason. Cop drops it and is like, alright, back on the road. They get back in the car and Chris is like pleased. He's like, that was hot. It's like sort of a...

She's like, no one's going to mess with my man. I think is exactly the word she uses. We're establishing that they're like, you know, they're a nice couple. They pull up then to the house. It is a big old house. They're

rich. It's a big house. As they pull up, we see the groundskeeper and Rose addresses. She's like, oh, that's our groundskeeper. He is also black. They come up to the door. The parents come out. We see we're like sort of at a bit of a distance from them.

But we see they're very affectionate. This is a lovely family. They immediately grab them. The dad that's Dean is the dad and Missy calling out for our dear friend Sammy that the dad is Bradley Whitford. And honestly, looking pretty good hot dad alert hot dad alert and he immediately is like oh we hug here they're like that kind

of family hugs them come on in Bradley Whitford is immediately also like being like my man my man oh this is my guy hey my man yeah um yeah just like they're huge he's huge huge over the top uh but like very you know very friendly welcoming um they walk in the house and learn they you know Rose tells him yeah we hit a

deer on our way up and Dean immediately goes off about Ah good for you deer There's too many of them I say And Just like being a very classic Like dad he's on Like a dad who's on Then he asks How long has this been going on

This little thing to you He says this thang How long is this thang He's like standing like he's being weird. He's behaving as not himself. He's like clearly acting differently because Chris is black. And everyone can feel

it. And in fact, Alison Williams even said, or Rose, at one point she's like, jokingly, they're all like friendly, but she's like, does he have an off switch? Like he's being a lot. Wheeler and they've been together five months. Dean switch like he's being a lot yeah um we learn they've been together five months dean asks if he can give a tour of the house so he gives a tour to chris and so we walk through we first see missy's office she is a psychiatrist and she takes

her patients in the house just her sessions in a room in the house. We look at some family photos. We see that Rose has a brother named Jeremy. We're getting the impression that Dean is again, I wrote, classic white liberal. He is very cool with

the fact that his daughter's dating a black man. He thinks it's great. That kind of vibe of like, me, I wouldn't even care. Why am I drawing attention to it? But because of how much I don't care and think it's great. He's looking at some photos on the wall of his father, who was a track runner, made it to the Olympics. And he's like, my dad's pride and joy.

It was a historic historic year the Berlin Olympics Jesse Owens won and so Dean is going off about like it was so great we had Hitler over here promoting his Aryan race and then a black man wins and it's just amazing it just was so wonderful

it was great my dad you know he didn't win he never got over it ha ha ha ha. Again, just being like, I hate Hitler. I think Hitler is bad. We take, the tour leads us to the kitchen

where we see he passes the basement and says Oh yes, the basement's sealed off. We found some black mold down there. So there is a basement, but don't worry, we'll never go there. Mark your bingos, yes. The basement's sealed off. We found some black mold down there. So there is a basement, but don't worry. We'll never go there. Mark your bingos, everyone. Then we walk past the kitchen and we meet their sort of housekeeper.

Her name is Georgina. She is also black. Both of them, Walter is the name of the groundskeeper. They're both like young. I would say 30s-ish. And she's sort of like just standing there smiling. Like Stepford Wivey. Almost.

Very Stepford Wivey. Just like. Yeah. Like, hi. Big smile. Like, loft hair. Just like, hmm. You know, Chris obviously clocks it.

Like, says hello to her. They walk outside. Their tour ends at this gazebo on their property. As they're walking out to the gazebo, Dean says, yeah, you know, the nearest house is all the way across the lake. We have total privacy here. And then he says to Chris, look, I know how it looks. White family, black servants was the words he uses. And he's like, you know, and Chris says, I wasn't going to go there.

And Dean says, yeah, you know, I have to. We hired Walter and Georgina to look after my parents as they were aging and dying. And my parents died. We just didn't have an inmate to let them go. So we keep them around. And then he says, I hate the way that it looks. And that was a line that to me in fucking 2021 hit me good. I hate the way that it looks.

Oh, there is so much in that fucking line. And and then I think he quickly follows it up with by the way I would have voted for Obama for a third time if I could have he fucking sinks that line and so then

we cut to the four of them are having iced tea in the gazebo and sort of getting to know each other. The mother is sort of stirring her iced tea with a little spoon, taps her spoon on the glass. We like zero in on her tapping a little spoon on the glass. And we see that Chris, oh, on the way in, Chris, on the drive in, Chris had gone to smoke a cigarette. And Rose takes it from him and tosses it out the window and is like you're not I hate this disgusting habit

you're not going to smoke so Chris now sitting in the gazebo drinking the tea it gets sort of fidgety like his hand sort of starts making little fidgety motions Missy clocks it and says or one I think maybe Dean is like, oh, you want

a cigarette right now, don't you? He's like, I'm trying to quit. Yes, you caught me. I'm a smoker. I'm trying to quit. Dean says, well, Missy can hypnotize you and she'll get that habit right out of you. He's like, I used to be a smoker 15 years. Now, one

session with her, the thought of cigarette makes me want to vomit. And Chris is sort of like, oh, yeah, no, thanks. I'm good, actually. I'm good. I'm going to quit. But yeah, no, I don't I don't I don't want to do that. We also learn in this conversation, they are asking him about his parents. We learn his dad's not really in the picture and that his mom died when he was 11 in a hit and run. He does. But clearly doesn't really want to talk about it. Obviously, that's deeply traumatic. And these people are strangers.

We learn then that this weekend that they are there is the weekend of the big get together. That's this weekend? Rose was like, that's this weekend? I thought we were just going to have a chill weekend here at the house. And they're like, it's the same date every year. It is a party that they used to throw. It was the grandfather's party. It was

Dean's dad's party. They threw every year. They, you know, play outdoor games and all their friends come and they just sort of kept the tradition up after his dad passed. And as they're sort of talking about this georgina is pouring them refreshing their glasses and pouring them more tea and we see on her face that she sort of goes into a bit of a trance it looks like she sort of is like checks out and is pouring the tea and sort of keeps pouring and almost spills a bunch

and sort of like snaps to and Missy says Georgina you seem tired and maybe you should go take a rest and Georgina sort of like comes back to herself and is like yes hmm yes I

think that I will do that um it's strange yeah we're clocking that it's strange yeah chris is clocking that it's definitely looking around like what the fuck yeah like people aren't acting normal people are acting normal and specifically the only other black people in this house are not acting normal. Then Jeremy, our younger brother, arrives and we cut to a big family dinner. Jeremy, what's this actor's name? Caleb Landry Jones. Caleb Landry Jones. God, he's

so funny. Everyone's good in this movie, but man, he's good. Just perfectly cast. Perfectly cast. This was a big year for Caleb Landry Jones who's also in the Twin Peaks revival and Three Billboards out of Ebbing Missouri big year for Caleb Landry Jones and I feel like I haven't seen him in anything since

that's like why I bring it up because I was like that's true he did sort of burst on the scene and then it's like what's he doing at one time and then he is alarmingly specific. So I do wonder. Yeah, that's true. He's but he's great in this. So they have a family dinner.

They're all, you know, they're all sitting around the table joking, telling stories about high school and making fun of Rose. Jeremy sort of got the focus. He keeps telling stories about her and her old boyfriends and sort of poking fun at his sister in front of her new boyfriend. We're all having a great time. Then he's clearly getting drunk, the brother of Jeremy. And the conversation sort of shifts a bit. Missy goes in the kitchen to get the dessert. And Dean asks, you know, hey, so

what's your sport? Baseball? Football? And he says, oh, basketball. And Jeremy asks, do you like MMA? He like leans to the table, do you like MMA? And Chris is like, no, that's sort of too balanced for me.

He says, with your frame and genetic makeup, if you if you really committed yourself to it, if you really pushed your body, you could be incredible. And then he starts to be like, what about jujitsu? Do you ever do jujitsu? It's all about being three steps ahead. And just to start again like very weird and everyone is clocking it and like Rose and Dean are sort of like

she's sort of calmed down I think Dean even says like hey Jeremy why don't you let somebody else have the floor and that like makes Jeremy mad a bit like feels like we're like teeter on the edge of like a bit of a blow up moment like everyone's kind of walking on eggshells he is unstable.

Yeah. We're feeling an unstable energy from him. He gets up, goes to like go behind Chris and sort of try to like, you know, start wrestling him. And as that's happening,

Misty comes back in with the dessert, sort of, we sort of ease that tension a bit. We get Jeremy back to his seat um it's just a tent the dinner becomes tense i think chris says something like hey you know i don't like fake russell with with a drunk people and so then that night rose is like brushing her teeth up in the room with chris and starts complaining about her family and it's just like they were everyone was so weird what was that shit with my brother trying to fucking fight you he's never been like that with another boyfriend my dad saying my man my man my man he never talks

like that and she says they're the same like how are they any different than that fucking cop like they're all they were being so fucking weird. Right. And Chris is like, I didn't want to say it, but I told you like I fucking told you. Right. And Rose is so embarrassed and she apologizes to him. And he's like, you know what? Why are you apologizing?

Don't apologize. He's, you know, compensating for her white fragility and being like, I'm used to this. I knew this was going to happen. I'm like fucking braced for it. You didn't know it was going to be this way because this isn't your lived experience. But it's fine. And also, you know, they love each other. And and he's like you know he says i don't know they're like they have a nice moment they sort of like yeah uh he's okay with it he's okay that

she didn't know it was going to be this way and she apologizes like this party is going to be bad you're right and they're all she's, they're all so white. They're so white. And again, he's like, yeah, of course. But it is what it is. It's going to be fine. It's fine. That night, Chris wakes up in the middle of the night and notices in

Rose's room, there's like this is like their childhood home. This is Rose's childhood bedroom. There's like a little stuffed animal in the nightstand that he turns away from them. And he notices there's like a little mini sort of trap door to who knows what that he sees is open. But he gets up and walks downstairs and he goes outside. We see to sneak a cigarette. He hasn't had one this whole day.

He wants to smoke. a cigarette. He hasn't had one this whole day. He wants to smoke. As he goes to light his cigarette, he looks out on the lawn and the groundskeeper, Walter, in the distance... It's like

not funny. It's scary in watching it, but it is so wild to retell. He is just running full speed right at him from a distance with like blade hands.

Like the most intense, uptight, like runner running, like beelining in a straight line right at him. And then right before he hits him, he takes a turn and keeps running around the house and chris is like what the fuck was that like a bit shaken from it was like that's fucking weird

turns around a light pops on in one of the rooms in the house which is a jump scare and it's georgina and she is looking, it looks like she's looking out the window, but then we see she's looking in the window reflection and the light, like helped her see her reflection in the window. And she is just like looking at herself and like touching her face and looking like from different angles and just like really taking in her own appearance in the reflection and but because it's a window he can like see her doing this and is sort of like what

the fuck is up with these people this is so weird so he walks back inside as he's walking in he walks past missy's office and the light flips on and she's in there and she calls him in to come sit with her and she's sitting in her little psychiatrist chair drinking tea out of a you know cup and saucer little mug and saucer with spoon and she's stirring

her tea and asks him you know do you smoke around my daughter pulling the protective parent card and being, you know, do you smoke around my daughter? Pulling the protective parent card and being like, you know, it's my kid. I don't want you smoking around her. And she's like, you're curious how it works, aren't you? You, like, want to know how it works. She starts to explain hypnosis.

And then just starts asking questions. She's like, where were you when your mom died and it seems like sort of against his own will he's starting to answer he doesn't really want to but he he does he keeps answering her questions um he says i was at home i was i was watching tv um he had like he had when he's like guessing on how the hypnosis works, he's like, you like dangle a watch in front of their face. And she's like, we do sometimes use focal points. And the whole time it keeps like cutting to her, like stirring her tea and the noise of the like metal on the ceramic cup. And we're getting the sense that this is sound. This is the focal point.

And maybe why he is. Yeah. A little more unable to resist. Yeah. Yeah. So she's she's asking about where it has the death of his mom. And where were you? And we're like zooming in on you on the like saucer and the spoon.

And he says he was at home watching TV. It was raining. And she says, can you hear the rain? And he starts to hear it. And we start to hear the sound of rain. And she says, let me know when you see it. Then we see the image of a little kid sitting in front of a TV screen. And he's like, I see it. And he's like starting to cry as he's describing it. And then he says, I can't move. She leans forward and says, now sink into the floor. He says, what? She goes, sink.

And we see in the image of him as a kid, he sinks through the bed and starts falling in through like what looks like outer space like sort of falling backwards it's like a void that's and then we get the like iconic shot from get

out which is the close up on his face and his eyes he's frozen that single fucking tear falling down his eye while he's like panic stricken just wide-eyed and we see then from his perspective as he falls like the room with missy starts to look like a tv screen that is getting smaller and smaller and smaller as he's sort of like falling away from it and she leans forward says, now you're in the sunken place. Closes his eyes and then he wakes up with a jolt in bed.

Next morning. And Rose is like showering in the bathroom, looks over to his phone, plugs it into the charger. Sort of just is like like that was a fucking crazy dream. Foof. Just a dream. Foof. Just a dream. Just a crazy dream. Just a dream. He

then goes and starts to take pictures around the house. He's a photographer. He's got his camera. He's taking pictures of the woods. He looks up. He seesorgina in one of the upstairs windows in their rose's bedroom that they're staying in sees her up there again just looking at her reflection in the mirror looking like she's like maybe pulling a wig off and she looks out the window catches him seeing her and he like looks away with the camera looks back, she's gone so

then when he turned he sees that Walter, the groundskeeper, is chopping wood. So he like walks up to him and says like, oh hey, they're working pretty hard, huh? Trying to just make conversation and he turns around

this guy, he also is so good is i think this is my favorite scene it's so funny do you want to describe it yeah so he he he turns well he first like approaches him like he looks mad and then at the last second this big smile comes on his face and says nothing i don't want to be doing. He looks like a fucking like his smile and his whole vibe is like it. It's like I mean, Stephanie is a good way to describe it. But it is also like it's like he's like a like a robot. Like a literal like animatronic. Like he reminds me of like an animatronic character of just like this. The holding the smile while you talk like nothing i don't want to be

doing and chris is like i didn't get a chance to officially meet you i'm chris and he's like i know who you are she's lovely isn't she he's like uh rose uh yeah and he says top of the line cream of the crop a real doggone keeper it's so funny and obviously chris is like what the fuck is going on i that's all i wrote down i just a real doggone yeah he's like talking really like old timey and weird and he's like uh yeah yeah i guess so and he's like well i better get back to chopping my wood and minding my own business yeah and then he also so this is important because he also apologizes for last night he's like oh i'm sorry if my exercise disturbed you last night

um he says you were then in mrs armitage's office for quite some time and so this is the moment where chris realizes that it wasn't a dream because walter obviously saw him and interacted with him he's kind of like yeah he like he's like, oh, I must have had more wine than I thought. Like, he looks like disturbed by it, but is kind of trying to rationalize, like, I guess I just got drunker than I thought. Yeah, maybe I was drunk. So then he goes back

upstairs to Rose's room. Rose is in there and he goes, he pulls out a cigarette and then he says to her, I think your mom hypnotized me last night she's like oh no oh darn we told her not to oh i'm so sorry he says yeah i i like i now the thought of the cigarette makes me want to throw up like i i don't want to smoke he says, what's what's Walter's deal? And he says he seems hostile. And she's like, I don't know.

Why would that why would that be? And he says, like, is he like maybe he's into you? Like his energy to me. It was just off. She asked, what did he say? And he's like, it's not what he said. It's how he said it. Maybe.

Yeah. Maybe he's into you. And she makes a joke out of it makes a joke out of it sort of just trivializes his experience and like oh oh do you think I have a chance with him like me and the groundskeeper

it's so funny that you would think that and again so again likes to sort of like okay oh fine okay i'm being crazy uh they sort of like laugh it off and they look out the window and they see cars approaching for the big party so they get dressed they go downstairs and uh they start meeting everyone chris starts being introduced to everyone at the party these are all white white people in their, like, 60s and 70s. Mm-hmm. Um, and

immediately everyone is being very weird. Um, but again, not more weird than is true, which, uh, is an important part of this movie, which I feel like it's, like, they're being really weird, but definitely this shit happens.

Also, like, not out of the, yeah, not, not it that was one of the trivias i read that daniel calillo was like i've been to this party like this is i have experienced this they're just asking questions as if they've literally never spoken to a young black man before which is like uh asking him like how fast he is and feet like a woman like feels his body and it says you know is it true what they say about uh you know is it is it better is it better uh asking out you know rose about like sex with a black man uh-huh and rose looks pretty horrified she's like oh my god like this is fucked it's i mean it's like so obviously they're being everyone is being insane and extremely inappropriate. And he's sort of taking it in stride is like this is fucking weird.

But she's horrified. It's just one one crazy microaggression after another. One guy brings up golf and he goes oh i just love tiger oh but i love tiger tiger woods and his wife's like oh he loves tiger he loves tiger and then another woman just straight up says black is in fashion now it's cool to be black and it's like oh what the fuck yeah so he's like yeah obviously very uncomfortable but yeah taking it all in stride and just kind of like yeah but again like told you so told you so this is not not what i thought this party was gonna be um so he's sort of because like i'm gonna get some air he goes and starts steps outside to sort of take some pictures of the party. We see through the lens of his camera.

He's looking around and he clocks another black man at the like food table through his camera lens. So he walks up to him and he's wearing like a summer suit and a straw hat. Yeah, like a linen suit. A summer suit and a straw hat. Yeah, like a linen suit. And so Chris walks up to him and is like, hey, man, I think he even says it's nice to see another brother here or something like that. And again, Stanfield, he turns around. He's like, oh, hello.

Yes. Oh, nice to see you and it is again like just very weird and stilted and like not how a human and yeah obviously i mean we've seen we saw him in the opening scene and he is completely different now completely different now he's like yeah dressed in this weird linen summer suit his face is shaved. He's acting. Yeah, speaking the way that the other black people that we have met at this house are kind of talking as little Stepford Wive puppets. Almost to the point where when I first saw this movie, I think it took me a beat to connect that it was the guy from the opening. Yeah.

Because I didn't know Lakeith Stanfield yet. And they're like trying to sort of, I mean, it doesn't seem like the same guy. Very different. Yeah. Yeah. Which was another cool thing about rewatching and being like, well, obviously it's Lakeith Stanfield because I know who Lakeith Stanfield is. But I do think at the beginning I wasn't entirely sure for a little while, which is super cool.

But yeah, then this older fucking like 60s white lady walks up to him and is like honey honey there you are like treating him like they're a couple and he says to her oh yes Chris was just telling me that he feels so much better at this party because I'm here and she's like oh that's nice

that's so nice and Chris is very weirded out she's like okay yeah, nice meeting you. And goes to fist bump him. He's like, my name is Logan something or whatever. Yeah, his name's Logan. But he then just puts his whole hand over Chris's fist. He shakes his fist.

It's like rock, paper, scissors. Shoot. And Chris is then just super fucking weirded out walks over more into the woods chris does and sees um there is a man sitting there with a cane he is blind or at least mostly blind um and and chris comes over and sits and this man introduces himself his name is jim hudson and he says i'm a fan of your work and chris says oh my god hudson like hudson galleries um we learned that this man is an art dealer um and he's like yeah fucking like irony of i'm an i'm an art dealer and I can't seize.

Like my assistant describes work to me and that's why I decide if it's worth it. Your work is incredible. At least I imagine that it is. So they're sort of having a sort of nice moment there. Right, the like most normal conversation he's had all day. Yeah, and Chris also is excited to meet this person, a gallery owner, an art dealer that he admires. Then after that conversation, Chris

goes back into the house and goes upstairs up into Rose's room. And this is where I really think it is so great to not know what the deal is in this movie because I remember when I first saw this movie, this moment I was like, what the fuck is in this movie because I remember when I first saw this movie this moment I was like what the fuck is happening he walks upstairs

and the party's going on and they're like you know people about the house having little conversations and as soon as he gets out of sight up the stairs everyone stops talking and they all turn and they like follow him with their gaze to up where he went the party just gets

silent as if, if he's not there, the party's not happening. It's super unsettling. It is. It's so creepy. I've forgotten this scene. Unsettling.

And again, truly not knowing what the fucking deal was. Like, at first I was like, is this like some Truman show shit? Like, is it like, I was like,

what is happening? he goes upstairs and um sees that his phone is unplugged he had plugged it into charge because it was low battery and it's unplugged again and now I think it's dead it's dead yeah it's dead Rose he like then walks across the hall and like peers and sees Georgina in a room across the hall folding laundry Rose catches him and is like oh there you are you left me downstairs alone at the party and he's like come in here come in here

and he says I think um I think Georgina unplugged my phone I like I think she has unplugged my phone. I think she has a problem with me. And Rose is again sort of like, what? Why would she do that?

And he goes to say, essentially some black women don't like it when a black man dates a white girl. And again, she trivializes his feelings. And it's like, oh, you're so just, she likes you so much. She unplugged your phone. Ha ha ha. Right.

Like you're so sexy that she would just. Yeah, that's what it's about. And again, he like is like just to like diffuse the situation is like, OK, I get it. I'm being unreasonable. He plugs his phone in and is able to call uh is it rod rod yeah rod i started at some point i started writing rob in my notes but i know that that's not what it is it's rod um so he calls rod and sort of checks in how's the dog doing tells him that he got hypnotized and Rob Rod sorry

Rod is such a great character in this fucking movie and he is like immediately the only one who's like you shouldn't be there this shit is scary and weird and he starts talking about um he goes on this whole fucking tirade

about Jeffrey Dahmer and how he's like, you should be there. What if they hypnotize you to be a sex slave? Like, you don't know. He's like, what about Jeffrey Dahmer? Nobody went into that thinking that they thought they were going to go there and fucking get their dick sucked and then he's cutting their heads off

and they're sucking his dick but their head's not on and he just like goes on this whole fucking thing about jeffrey dahmer and how nobody thought that that was gonna be their night either when they went there um and so yeah chris is like all right like hangs up on him like he's clearly the friend that like nobody really takes seriously um but he might be onto something uh as soon as he hangs up the phone he turns around and Georgina is right there a bit of a jump scare

smiling very like oh I wanted to apologize you know there must have been a misunderstanding what happened with your cellular device is I was cleaning under it.

And when I picked it up, it must have come unplugged. And I didn't want to touch it again. So it just got left that way. There's a simple explanation. And is being so deeply unsettling and staring just like right at him and smiling. And he's like, it's not some, it's fine. And he says, maybe it's just I'm on edge sometimes. If there's too many white people around, I get nervous.

And she sort of freezes. Starts to look all of a sudden really scared. Starts to sort of cry, tears are coming from her eyes then she starts to smile again and then she says oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no oh, it's so creepy. It's so good. And she's like, I don't know what you're talking about. That's not my experience at all. That's not my experience. The Armitages have always been so good to me.

They've treated me like family. Oh, I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. So he's thoroughly weirded out by her, goes back down to the party. And as he walks outside, one of their party guests asks him, or Dean is like, come on over, meet my friends, like talk to my friends. And one of the guests asks him, like, what do you, do you think it's now an advantage or a disadvantage to be African-American in society or something like that?

And at this point, I think he's just like, man, I don't want to fucking do this anymore. He clocks Logan, Lakeith Stanfield's character, walking by with his old lady wife. He's like, you take this one. He's like, hey, man, why don't you answer this? He's asking me about what it's like to be African. He's asking me about the African-American experience. And Lakeith starts answering and is like, oh, I guess, I don't know. I mean, we don't leave the house much.

And it's just like not really answering and being like, I feel like it's totally fine. Yeah, he says the African-American experience for me has been overall quite positive. And like Chris just looks at him like, what the fuck, man? And so Chris goes to sort of like sneak a photo of him with his cell phone because he's being fucking weird as hell. And as he takes the photo, it takes it with flash. So flash goes off. So it's like,

and he's like, oh, fuck, like got caught taking the picture. I'm just going to call him Lakeith. Sorry. Lakeith freezes, stares at him.

Blood starts dripping from one of his nostrils and he whispers get out and then he starts lunging at chris and goes get out get out get the fuck out get the fuck out they have to like restrain him they start they restrain him and they like pull him away and he's just screaming oh it's so good it's it's so good the first time you see it because you don't know what the hell is going on and then finally finally something breaks and you're like yes like something is fucked up something is fucked up but it's also like they you know because he's like at first chris is like oh i'm sorry because he thinks he's coming at him because he took the picture but it's just like something is fucking off right well the keith stanfield is

also such a good actor and completely changes like changes back into who he was in the beginning and like you see that shift happen right before you he really i mean he had and he has a lot of range like some actors i feel like playing the same thing over and over and that's great too like if you find your thing and you're really good at it like I feel like Ben Mendelsohn's kind of like that like he's great but he's the same thing and everything yeah we love it I fucking love Ben Mendelsohn but yeah like he's Stanfield is someone that I feel like is

really different in a lot of stuff and yeah just has a lot of range he's great like I again like this is the first thing I saw him and so watching I mean I've seen him in so much because he's like he's in fucking everything these days. But I just kept thinking about Atlanta, his character in Atlanta, and watching this and just being like, man, you're all over the place, dude. But yeah, so we cut to, they're in sort of the room in the house, Rose and Chris and Dean.

And we learned earlier, by the way, Dean. We learned earlier, by the way, Dean is a doctor. He is a neurosurgeon. Dean is saying it was a seizure. Seizures can trigger violent reactions in people. The flash can trigger

seizures in people. That's what it was. Rose is sort of like, that would, a seizure that and rose is sort of like a that would a seizure that make you like attack like randomly attack someone and then out of the office out of missy's office missy lakeith his old lady wife all come out and he's back to his weird normal self and missus was able to calm him down they say and he's i apologize everyone for for that uh outburst i you know i i should have the seizure you know it just happens that way and and the lady's like and you also shouldn't have been drinking honey and he's like well

yes i think we're going to we're going to leave you now and you'll just have to find a way to get on without my wit and everyone laughs and so they leave the party and as they're leaving he turns around and says it's nice to meet you Chris

and Chris and Rose then they go on a walk out into the woods chris is like my cousin has seizures that wasn't a fucking seizure like what the fuck was that and rose is like my dad's a neurosurgeon if he says it was a seizure that's what it was and he's like i i feel like i know him like she's like what you've met logan before And he's like, no. When he came at me, I felt like I knew him. And then he says, I think your mom got in my head. I had crazy dreams.

I feel fucking weird. She's sort of getting upset that he's maybe coming at her family or that he's so on edge. Coming at her family. Or that he's like so on edge. Meanwhile. We like sort of cut back. And we see. That right before they went on their walk.

Dean had been like. Hey why don't we. We need to sort of lighten the mood here. This has been weird. Why don't. Let's go. Let's play some bingo. So meanwhile. While they're having this talk in the woods.

We cut to. And we see. Dean standing in the gazebo. Like raising his finger. Seems like silently. It seems like silently leading like an auction of some sort not speaking. Cut back. Chris says

to Rose like I want to go. I want to get out of here. She sort of gets upset thinking that he's going to she's like without me go without me. And he says I don't know like up to you. I. I want to go without me. And he says, I don't know, like up to you. I just I got to go. Cut back.

We're on Dean again. The camera pulls back and we see that Dean is standing next to a big framed picture of Chris and putting up fingers as if he's auctioning off. And all of the guests at the party are silently holding up their bingo cards like their little auction numbers. And finally, the auction, it seems like the auction ends and our winner is

Jim Hudson of Hudson Galleries. Oh, the framed picture of Chris just really was an extra. Oh, like a funeral photo. It's like that The framed picture of Chris just really was an extra. Like a funeral photo. It's like that big framed weird on an easel situation. Back in the woods, Chris tells Rose, he was like, you know how I told you that my mom died? I didn't call 911 the night that she was supposed to come home she died in that hit and run well she i learned that she survived the initial hit

uh and and it took her several hours to to die and you know he's clearly absolutely racked with guilt and it's like i should have done something i should have called him one right she didn't have to die there would have been a chance. He was 11. I mean, we know that like this, this is not his fault, this poor kid. But he's like, you know, crying. And he says to Rose, you're all I've got. I'm not going to leave here without you.

And she says, we should go. Let's go home. Like this, this fucking sucks. Like, let's go home. I'll come up with some excuse. Like you and me together. Let's just go. Let's go home. Like, this fucking sucks. Like, let's go home. I'll come up with some excuse. Like, you and me together. Let's just go. You know, they have this sort of coming together moment.

So they walk back to the house. It's dark has fallen. The guests are leaving. Some old guy's like, so great meeting you, Chris. Like, again, Chris is the guest of honor at this party. As they walk back into the house, Walter and Georgina are standing on the lawn, smiling very creepy at them.

Then they walk past Missy and Dean, who are smiling very creepy at them. Jeremy is playing a fucking, like, banjo on a porch. Yeah. Like leaning against slowly playing like a ping pong, ping pong little banjo song. What's that movie? Deliverance.

I feel like that's a deliverance reference. I've never seen deliverance. I've never seen it. I think that's what that is. Let's just say that's what that is. Up back in Rose's room they're like packing getting ready to go chris sends uh the picture that he had taken of of logan lakeith um to his friend rod rod immediately calls him and is like yeah that's dre and chris is like what he's like yeah that's

dre he's you know he used to hang out with tiffany whoever. It's like, he's the guy we know. And Chris is like, fuck, you're right. I fucking knew it. Like, I knew I knew him. I knew I knew him. That is who it is. But he's like so fucking different now. He was there with some old white lady.

He was being super weird. And Rod is like, he's a sex slave. He knew it. He's a sex slave. I told you. Sex slave. like he's a sex slave i told you sex slave um and as they're having this conversation chris's battery dies and so the phone call gets cut off so chris is now clearly freaked out because he's like that is a fucking guy we know like what is happening he's just so he packing he says he's

packing he said rose comes in and he's like, hey, we need to leave right now. Like, get your stuff. We got to go right now. She's like, OK. So she leaves, leaves the room to go get her stuff. He sees that little trap door in her room open again. It's a jar. So he goes and opens the door.

And inside it's like a little mini closet. So it's like just sort of in a little nook in the wall. He sees in it a box of old photographs. So he opens it. He starts looking through them. It's like old pictures of Rose in high school. And then one by one, it is a series of couple photos of Rose and different black guys. One after another, after another. After another.

After another. Until finally it's one of her and Walter. The groundskeeper. And then it's one of her and Georgina. The housekeeper. Mm-hmm. He's very freaked out. Puts the photos down.

Rose comes back in. And he's like, hey, yeah, can I get the keys so I can put the bags in the trunk? She's like, oh, yeah, of course. Like, God, let me find them. They're in the bottom of my bag. It's always impossible to find them. She's fishing for his key for her keys. And she's like, hey, why don't we do this on the move?

So she can like sense his energy is really off. She's like, oh, okay. They go down the stairs. He is now at the base of the stairs with the bags. She is still all along the stairs searching for the keys. They get downstairs. Jeremy is standing, blocking the front door, holding a lacrosse stick. Spinning it.

Oh, so perfect. The mom is just standing, leaning missy's like leaning against uh doorway dean is leaned over the fireplace staring in it and the fire is reflecting in his glasses and looking at the fire he goes what is your purpose? Oh, and this is when Chris is like, fuck. Chris is getting more and more freaked out. And it's like, Rose, where are the keys? Rose, the keys. Like just trying to get her to get the fucking keys.

He's freaking out. He's like sort of starting to tear up. She's like, I'm looking. I'm looking. And I think at one point, Jeremy like lunges at Chris with the lacrosse stick and Chris like gets him out of the way he's like Rose the keys the keys yeah he goes Rose keys

now and the family all sort of starts like closing in on him just like walking up to him he looks over at Rose and he goes where are the keys Rose and she's been like crying and freaking out and is like searching and searching. And then her face gets stone cold and she has the keys in her hand.

She goes, you know, I can't give you the keys, right, babe? Oh, brutal. That moment. Oh, that moment. So then he tries to run for it. Of course, what else is he supposed to fucking do? moment so then he tries to run for it of course what else is he supposed to fucking do and as he goes to run missy clangs her little spoon against the glass he freezes falls back unconscious unconscious the shot is so fucking cool his eyes are still open then we

then see all of this from like his perspective from above of the whole family grabbing him, carrying him. He's watching it again, almost like it's on a TV screen as he starts falling down into the sunken place as they sort of carry him away through the house. Rose says to him, you know, you are my favorite. Meanwhile, we see Rod trying to reach him he calls him the phone is dead so then we see Rod look up Dre that guy

online he like googles him and sees that he has been listed as missing for the past six months so he's like oh fuck oh shit starts getting like really worked up um or i don't know if we mentioned earlier that rod is a tsa agent we like have seen him at work before um as a tsa agent like complaining earlier he was talking about how he had gotten in trouble

for uh he's like why can't i feel up an old lady if i think she might be a security threat he's like i'm telling you the next 9-11 is going to be some geriatric shit. He's just a very specific type of guy. He's funny. He's very funny. So then back at the house, Chris comes to and we see that he is strapped down to a chair, arms and legs strapped down to a chair. This like old armchair in this very creepy

all wooden room. He's sitting across from an old television set and there's like a framed fucking deer head on the wall across from him or like, you know, a taxidermy deer head. The video, the TV turns on to the video and it's this old white man talking. And I wrote it down verbatim because I wanted to be sure to get it right. So he's like walking through the property, smiling. It's this house's property. And he says,

you have been chosen because of your physical advantages you've enjoyed for your entire lifetime. With your natural gifts and our determination, we could both be part of something greater, something perfect. The coagula procedure is a man-made miracle. Our order has been developing it for many, many years. And it wasn't until recently it was perfected by my own flesh and blood. And as this is happening, we see he's like on the front porch of the house and it's this family, it's Dean and Missy and the younger versions of the two kids surrounding him. Oh, his wife, grandma says says my family and i are

honored to offer it as a service to members of our group don't waste your strength don't try to fight the inevitable and who knows maybe one day you'll enjoy being members of our family behold Behold, the coagula. The video changes to just a close-up of that same mug and saucer and spoon, and Chris passes out again. I thought that was a very fun device to get us the whole deal. Mm-hmm. At least half of the whole deal. We'll get the other half in a minute. At least half of the whole deal. We'll get the other half in a minute.

Then we cut to we see Rod is in a detective's office. And the detective is a probably, what, 40-ish black woman. And he's explaining to her that he's like, my boy went missing. And she's like, oh, your son? And he's like, no, no, no, no. My friend Chris, 26. He's been missing for two days and sort of starts explaining the whole thing. He went to go visit his girlfriend, his white girlfriend's parents.

And he hasn't come back. He's supposed to come back two days ago. And I think he's become some sort of sex slave there. And she's sort of listening to him. Then she brings two other people in her office, sort of cut to two other detectives behind her and he's explaining the whole same story and he's really getting into it. And he's like, the mom hypnotized him.

I think it's a thing. But the hypnotized black guys, this other guy went missing. Hypnotized black guys. They turn him into sex slaves. Some sort of crazy shit happening over there. And it seems like they're all listening and like taking it in.

And then they all start laughing. And she's like, don't say I never did anything for you guys. They're having like a fun moment between the three of them of this like crazy guy telling his wild story. So and he's going on about he's like, I'm TSA. So I have the same training as you guys. I know what's up. I've got my TSA skills on this. But they do not take

him seriously at all, which is I really love how much Rod is the wildest person in this movie, but he fucking like nails it almost. Yeah, Rod is the smartest person in the room. He's like I think these white people hypnotize my friend and they're like taking black men to their house

to do things. So he tries to call Chris again. I think he calls Chris's phone And they're like taking black men to their house to do things. So. He tries to call Chris again. I think he calls Chris's phone and Rose picks up and she we see her. She is, you know, she's been done up now. She's wearing like all white and has her hair up and a little ponytail and is very expressionless. Her voice has completely changed. Her voice sounds very emotional. She's like, Chris,

is that you? And he's like, no, it's Rod. You know, Chris is supposed to be back two days ago. He's not answering his phone. She's like, what? Chris left. Chris left here two days ago. We got in a fight and he took a cab and he left

and I haven't heard from him and acting like she's you know the distressed girlfriend and uh rod is like oh oh okay hold on let me put you on hold for a second and puts her on hold and then it's like or puts her on mute it's like she's fucking lying she's crazy she okay okay okay i'm gonna i'm gonna record her i'm gonna record i'm gonna get her i'm gonna she's gonna bound to say something she's bound to start lying i got her i got her something's up and he like goes to record he unmutes and uh he thinks he's fucking got her and he says rose what what what cab company did you say that he used? And she immediately changes and goes, I know what you're calling, Rod. You need to stop this.

You need to stop hitting on me. You've always wanted me. You've always wanted to fuck me. And he's like, what? No, no. And he's like, starts freaking out and immediately hangs up. And he's like, bitch, she's a fucking genius. Which is just very funny how quickly he like

gets what she's doing and it's like fuck i got outsmarted damn it um and we see like her entire family was watching her take this phone call they fucking know the drill they they like got this all planned out i just want to say what's really weird to think about is that when you're watching the movie obviously now allison williams has turned into a completely different to say what's really weird to think about is that when you're watching the movie, obviously now Alison Williams has turned into a completely different character. But what's so fucking weird is that, like, I guess this is just supposed to be just her natural self. She's like this. I was thinking that, too, because because her performance when she is on the phone is so weird and fucking creepy and I'm like why doesn't she just act normal and then I was like oh this is

her normal this is like this is the real her she's finally like stopped having to do the act which was the rest of the movie which was her sweet and you start to realize too like the choosing of Chris was so strategic

like the fact that he is an orphan which means he doesn't have family coming after him and he has this trauma they can use to get him hypnotized like it all it and she fucking played him like they all did but she more than anyone oh yeah okay so then chris comes to again and the TV turns back on, and it is Jim Hudson, the gallery owner. And now we get, this is not a video. This is like footage. They're seeing each other. He has had this been shaved.

He's in a hospital gown. And he says to Chris, I'm supposed to answer any questions you have. Our common understanding helps with the success of the process. And Chris doesn't say anything. He's like, yeah, you can get fucked all about that. Well, let me just tell you. Phase one was the hypnotism. And he says, it's psychological pre-op, if you will. And Chris says, pre-op? And will and chris says pre-op and he says yeah for phase three which is the transplant uh and basically explains we're going to transplant part not all of your brain your existence will be as a passenger i'll control your motor functions but you will live in

and then Chris says the sunken place he's like yeah that's what she calls it oh yeah sunken place it's like the scariest possible thing to be trapped in your own body with no control over your own body I'm like getting chills just thinking about it even though I already watched it today and

wrote down these notes yeah and this is where we like put together that that this is like that walter and georgina the mo or the moment where georgina was crying that's obviously the real person inside momentarily getting a little bit of control of the body and yeah i was also thinking about like when people are like secretly awake in surgery and you don't know it's like a similarly like like that being like trapped within your own body without being oh my god it's one of the yeah one of the scariest things i can it's the scariest fucking thing it's so fucking scary it's like i don't know what i ever thought the ending of this movie was going to be the first time I saw it. But this is scarier. Like, without a doubt, this is scarier.

And Chris asks, why us? Why black people? Which I think is a, like, he doesn't say, why me? He says, why us? And Jim says, I don't know. Some people just want to change. They want to be faster, stronger, cooler. And as he's saying this, Chris is seeing flashbacks of the people at the party, like, you know, touching his biceps and being like wanting to be around him.

And Jim says, I don't. But please don't let me in with all that me don't let me in with those me I could care I could give a shit what color you are what I want is deeper I want your eye

and then he says to someone off camera I'm done and they turn the video off and we also at this point I guess realized that Walter is Rose's grandpa because he's the runner. I think it cuts to him when he says

some people want to be faster and so we like knew that he was a runner and lost to Jesse Owens. Yeah. And so now that's why he's like running around at night time like a fucking freak. Running around. He loves to run around. So yeah so then we

see Chris is left in that room. The video has ended. He has been sort of like absent mindedly like clawing at the chair that he's sitting in this whole time. Looks down and sees some fuzz that has come out of the old arm

chair. Cut to time has passed. He's still in that room. We see Dean prepping for surgery. Yes, we see. And now we've assumed they're in the basement. There was no black

mold. This is the there was no black mold. This is the basement suite. So, yeah, Dean is prepping for surgery. Chris then is back in the room and a video comes on the screen of the again, tea mug and little spoon. He says like, oh, no, no, no. Passes out. So, yeah, now Dean is in the operating room with uh

with Jim who is unconscious uh there's like so gross yeah he's got like a thing or like a screen around his like face and body and then behind just the like scalp is exposed

and Dean is back there getting ready to cut his fucking head open jeremy is his uh assistant i doubt he has the medical seems like such a shitty assistant i would not count on that but i guess you got to keep your circle small so uh fucking dean cuts jim's head open and takes his. We see him like take a circle sized skin thing and like throw it in the trash next to him. Gross. Jeremy then goes to takes like we see him like wheeling an empty wheelchair out of the room. He's clearly going to collect Chris goes in the room where Chris is in.

Chris is passed out. he unhooks his unstraps his wrists and his legs turns around to like check on the iv bag on the wheelchair and we see chris's hand grab a big fucking like bocce ball and slam jeremy in the head with it once, twice. Jeremy is unconscious on the ground, blood pooling out of his head. And we see Chris pull fuzz from that armchair out of his ears. Smart. Nice, Chris. The earbuds.

What do you call that? Earplugs. Earplugs earplugs so we're like oh fuck yes it is on although at this moment even though I've seen the movie before I was like don't take them out yet never take them out

then we see Dean like pokes his head Dean calls out of the room like Jeremy like need him I've already cut open this fucking guy's head um and I think we see him he like then takes the skull off we see like oh

no we see him like take a fucking power drill and like drills into this fucking dude's head you don't really see it but you know what happened but yeah then he throws the skull into the trash too throws the skull into the trash can so Throws the skull into the trash can. So then he's like, Jeremy walks out, like, peers his head down the

hall being like, where the fuck is my son with that man I'm trying to operate on? And he gets impaled in the fucking throat with the... Chris took the full deer head off the wall from that room and him uses the whole

fucking thing to impale it looks like he gets impaled like many places it's like all the antlers all the antlers so it goes in throat chest stomach and he is believed by the animal that he hates the most those deer coming back for revenge time killed big time and as he falls he like knocks a candle over they had a lot of candles in their operating room seems wrong but they did and so as he falls dying uh candle gets knocked over also at this point, Chris is fucking out for blood. Oh, hell yeah. He's at that point. I mean, we talked about it

in Hush where you hit that point of like this is it, baby. Balls to the wall. This is it. No hesitation. No fucking remorse. Doing whatever he has to do. Fucking go. This is always my favorite part of all horror movies. It's when the protagonist

reaches this point and you're just like, yeah. Oh, he's just ready to kill anyone who crosses his path without, like, no fucking mercy. These people are all about to die. And he's also, like, he's not moving like a scared

person. Like, he's not tiptoeing around. He's just, like, going. he doesn't even grab a weapon. I mean, he throws down the antler head and he just walks upstairs, which I was like, he doesn't get weapon, man. Same. He doesn't take the bachabal. He beats him with a bachabal and is like done. Gets the antler, stabs him.

Done. Like, no, just fucking going. Walks upstairs, sees Georgina knitting in in the kitchen she sees him and is like and like runs out of the room he grabs his cell phone it was like on the counter in there he grabs his fucking cell phone walks towards the door where missy's office is she sees him she's covered in blood by the way she sees him he sees her they're on opposite sides of the room in the middle of the room is the fucking saucer with the spoon they both clock it and then they both lunge for it he knocks it off the table smashes it i sort of stand there in a moment of staring

at each other like let's fucking go she grabs a letter opener stabs it through his hand, and he just keeps his hand there. He, like, yeah, he, like, puts his hand up to block it, and it just goes through the center of the palm of his hand, and he doesn't even fucking flinch. Doesn't fucking flinch, is still using his strength to just, like, push against her. She's trying to get it. She, like, almost gets it to his fucking eye, and he uses it to slice her fucking throat. He like maneuvers his hand around and uses it. Yeah.

Uses that same weapon to kill her. Oh, it slices her throat and then it's still in his hand. I'm pretty sure but he killed her. She's dead. And so he goes to the he goes to the front door to walk out the front door and then jeremy my boy wasn't dead comes up behind him puts him in a fucking headlock they're doing like a back and

forth chris is like so so so close to getting the doorknob can't get the doorknob jeremy's trying to knock him out so i think it's a little, but I think he still has a letter opener in his hand and he uses it to stab Jeremy in the knee. Yeah. And this part is even I feel like this is this is when all of the little, you know, breadcrumbs that were dropped earlier start like all coming together. And so even this is like a callback to their jujitsu talk because. Yeah. Because he had said you use jujitsu is great because you use their body weight against them and like you see chris kind of like calculate in his head and like he's he's remembering jeremy's movements and he sees that he's going to kick the door closed each time every time he lunges forward and he's not able to overpower him so he like he gets a few steps ahead of him

and does it again so that when Jeremy goes to kick the door closed he then can stab him in the leg. It's great. It's so fucking good. So then he's down so he goes, he takes

Jeremy's keys out of his pocket then so he can go take his car and go cut to then we see Rose sitting on her bed she is drinking a glass of milk a tall glass of milk

with a straw and eating dry Froot Loops looking with headphones in listening to music glass of milk with a straw and eating dry fruit loops. Looking with headphones in listening to music. Not paying attention to a single thing. She's listening to Dirty Dancing, right? I think something like that. I had the time of my life.

I don't think it's that song, but it's like that Is it that song? I think it is that song. Maybe it is. I think it is that song. Yeah, okay. She's like just eating fucking dry, fruity cereal. It's genius. Looking up pictures of black

athletes. Oh, God. Presumably searching for her next target person. Yeah. Just having a regular old night. But not hearing what's going on because she is doing that. Chris gets in the car, starts driving. He calls 911 from the car.

And I believe this is the same car that we saw at the beginning that Lakeith was pulled into. This is Jeremy's white car. And there is a line, actually, when he's talking to the art dealer guy through the little TV screen. He says, you're one of the lucky ones. I hear Jeremy's wrangling methods are a lot more unpleasant. So we see that the way that Rose kidnaps these men is by dating them. And the way,

and Jeremy just straight up kidnaps. Honestly, I don't know that that's, I don't know that that's, but yeah, I don't know that that's better either. One is like also emotionally dramatizing as well as dating a woman for five months and say that you love her. And then she does. I don't know that that's better either. One is like also emotionally dramatizing as well as dating a woman for five months and say that you love her. And then she does.

I don't know. I don't know. It's also such a long con. It's also five months versus like 15 minutes. Yeah. But I guess you have to. I guess the deal is like she can curate her victims. Gross.

OK, so, yeah, he calls 911 from the car, but as he's sort of driving off the property, we see Georgina run in front of the car, get hit by the car, and he drives past her, stops the car, and we see him have this flash

of sitting in front of the TV knowing that he didn't call 911 when his mom was dying. And he's like having this battle with himself. He's like, just fucking keep driving. Just keep driving. Just keep driving. I can't do it.

So he opens the car. He goes back to get her. She's like knocked out. Uh, and he puts her straps her into the passenger seat and then keeps driving. Rose emerges from, we see she's like, as this was happening, as she got hit by the car,

she's like, we see her sort of hear that something's going on. She comes downstairs, we see her in the doorway holding a fucking shotgun with flames behind her, like the house is fucking burning up at this point. And she holds a shotgun out and we hear her go, Grandma.

So that's who Georgina is. And as Chris is driving with Georgina in the passenger seat, Georgina comes to, turns to him and screams, You ruined my house! That's what she's mad about. This grandma's mad

that he burned her house down she lunges for him which makes him swerve he hits a tree she dies um and in the crash her wig comes off and we see that scar line all the way around her skull where her fucking brain was cut open. Chris exits the car. I mean, he's fucking way beaten up at this point. Starts trying to limp away. Rose from behind is then shooting at him with a shotgun. Getting closer and

closer. Then we see Walter fucking run past super fast. He loves to run. And she says, get him grandpa he uh tackles chris and in doing so chris is on the ground and manages to get his cell phone out of his pocket takes a photo so the flash goes off i guess he has learned from earlier that this is maybe a thing that like snaps people too. Walter sort of freezes,

gets up. At this point Rose has reached them with the shotgun. Walter turns to Rose and says, let me do it. She gives him the shotgun. He turns around and shoots her straight through the fucking stomach. It's the worst spot.

Uh-huh. Bad spot. The worst It's the worst spot. Uh-huh. Bad spot. The worst spot. The worst spot. She's shocked. She can't believe it. She's so shocked. How could this have happened to her? Me?

I was just eating my Froot Loops. Then he turns around, looks at Chris, and quickly takes the gun, shoots himself up through the throat and through takes the gun shoots himself up through the throat and through his head and kills himself you've got to I mean there's no fucking

other there's no once you realize that's your deal you've I know that's why I'm like let Georgina like that's why it's even more misguided for him to have made that little Georgina I know that I know that it's he was it was not about that. He thought there's maybe part of her in, yeah,

it's about he had to make the choice to get her. But Rose is still alive and she starts crawling towards the shotgun. I mean, she is very injured. Chris is limping towards it. He gets to the shotgun first or gets to her first.

He like knocks it out of the way. She's looking up at him. Yeah. She looks up at him and she's like, I'm so sorry. I love you. I love you. And he starts to choke her with his bare hands. And she is choking and starting to die.

And she's looking up at him and goes from being like scared and choking and then breaks into this evil fucking smile. It's so creepy. Oh, I hate it. But I mean, it's genius. Genius decision here.

Genius. Then he stops and we see but we're like looking at him and on our on on their faces we start to see the red and blue police lights um we see a cop car pull up and she is like oh help oh help right like this cop is pulling up on a black guy literally with his on top of a white woman covered in blood he's covered in blood hands were just around her throat he doesn't know how long she's been there and you just like your heart fucking sinks at this moment it's so fucking devastating and he he immediately stands up and puts his hands up

like he fucking knows what this is then the car door opens we see airport and it is Rod and I've never been happier ever MVP of the movie MVP

and Chris gets up he limps over to the car gets in the car they sit down there's a moment of silence and Rod tries to him and he goes I mean

I told you not to go on that ass Chris asks how did you find me I mean, I told you not to go on that. Chris asks, how did you find me? And he says, I'm T.S. motherfucking. We handle shit. It's the best line. They drive away. We see Rose laying in the ground dying as she watches them drive away.

Close up on Chris's face. That's very, very bone chilling song from the intro is playing. Cut back to Rose on the ground. Credits. Bravo. Bravo. Bravo. It's so

good. And we had in that Horror Noir documentary, they had said as well that the original ending to Get Out was going to be It Really Is The Cops. Yeah. And that after testing it and in

the current moment that it came out of fucking Trump being president and things being what they are, Jordan Peele decided to change it to make it not, not that. I think everyone had that same reaction to the cop coming up of being like, you don't feel good. He doesn't even have to get him arrested.

Yeah. He doesn't even, it doesn't even have to end that way for you to go. Oh no. And, and yes, he is standing over a woman's body and he's covered in blood but i was thinking about even like hush or ready or not two movies we've done that end with like

ready or not she killed a bunch of people and when the cops show up at the end of the movie you're not worried for her for a fucking second right you neverhmm you never would be and so I like I'm so curious if there is a single person who has watched this movie who doesn't think cops are bad like it's just like they didn't connect the dots like that is the real horror is like we've seen what this person has been through and then you know that if it really is the cops he's so fucked right and that he doesn't even it doesn't even have to end that way for you to still know it and for that moment to still be so effective yeah but i think jordan peele was like i think people are sick of seeing black people also on

screen being treated like pieces of shit over and over and over again like even need him to be our like hero, for lack of a better term, final girl. Like, yeah, I read in that Vulture oral history of this movie that Jordan Peele had said he wanted to do for this movie for to make it for black people. What like Rosemary's Baby was for women of showing like what it's like. Yeah, real horror of the world being against you and not telling you the truth and like manipulating you in that way. And for that reason, I think we need him to be the hero. I was super reminded of Rosemary's Baby while watching this this time, actually. And I do remember reading that Rosemary's Baby is Jordan Peele's favorite movie. So that makes sense. Well, that's that's the beauty and genius of this movie is it

does all these things that no movie has done before, which if you had just asked me pre 2017, has a movie done this before? I would be like, yeah, the movie must have done this before. But like having no sympathetic white characters at all, like that just is unheard of. They take the one they gave you right out from under you. Well, and I think a thing too in rewatching, which again is probably colored by knowing how it ends. And also that it's 2021, not 2017, which I was an adult in 2017. So this is my fault for not knowing better, being more aware, and I have more awareness yet to come in my life.

But she's not good up until this point. She definitely is more sympathetic, but she's not being good to him. And that is so much more clear, even from their first conversation and in rewatching it. And I guess if you don't know that there's so much bad to come, it's probably easier to watch and go like, well, you. But it's so it's that like very sinister white liberal. I'm not the problem. Right. Mentality. That is a big fucking problem.

It is a big problem. Emily, thank you so much for taking the reins on that one. I just did it. I didn't mean to just do it. It was great. I just couldn't stop talking. You did a great job. I just couldn't stop talking you did a great job just couldn't do a great job i'm so happy that we finally did this movie me too one more

little thing i want to point out is also re-watching it knowing what exactly like the twist is at the end the actors the black actors who are playing like they're old white people, it's like so on point. I'm like, my grandmother definitely sounds like that. Like she talks like that. I forgot to mention, yeah, one moment where when she's apologizing for not plugging in or unplugging the phone

where he's like, you know, I wasn't trying to snitch. And she goes, snitch? Oh, yeah. And he's like, yeah, I rat you out. And she goes snitch oh yeah and he's like yeah rat you out and she goes tattletale because she's fucking old and she doesn't know the word snitch also talk about presumed innocence her excuse where she thinks like this'll this'll convince him like i just wanted to explain how I was cleaning under your phone.

There was no funny business. It's so such an insanely obvious lie but she says it with such confidence and like of course someone would believe her even though it's literally such an obvious lie.

Exactly. It's like old white ladies do that. Some old white ladies start saying that. I'd be like, yeah, uh-huh, sure. I get it. You were cleaning under my phone? Normal. Okay. Yeah, grandma.

Fine, fine, fine. Yeah. No, a second, a rewatch is so great. Also, the moment where she stands up for him to say, like, you can't see his ID is, like, not in his defense. It's so that he like doesn't have a trail to her house. So like everything upon a rewatch

takes on a new meaning and there's one other part like Bradley Dean the dad saying like when my mom and dad died I couldn't stand to let them go like it's originally you're thinking he means Walter and Georgina. And now we know he means his mom and dad are in those bodies.

Oh, yeah. And at one point when he he walks into the kitchen and Georgina's sitting there on the tour, he's like, my mom loved this kitchen so much. So we keep a part of her here. And it's like, literally, you literally do. It's so fun. there's so many like literally really every line is probably foreshadowing and so it's a very good rewatch it's a very it's a very good it might be better than an original watch is also not great.
