This is our Oscar Sprint Profile for Get Out, directed by Jordan Peele and starring Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams. Our very first episode, the Summer Movie Review included nearly 20 minutes on this movie, where we gushed over the horror comedy degree of difficulty and the great Daniel Kaluuya performance quite a bit more. So we do manage to cover mostly new ground here.
Some of our best work, we hope/we think. Let us know. As always, we love hearing from you on social media. We’re on Facebook, gmail, instagram, and of course - Twitter where we will be LIVE TWEETING every movie event for the foreseeable future. We’re also super proud that we correctly projected Get Out’s esteemed award season months earlier, before it was cool and the world hailed it as a triumph.
So we immediately debate why the title has no punctuation. Consider the hot stove question of the millennium ANSWERED. You’re welcome. Our bio of Jordan Peele covers his hilarious resume, and we’re proud to have a ton of quotes and production stories about this incredible directorial debut throughout the episode. The Daniel Kaluuya bio begins with an Also Mike blooper that we just had to leave in, proving once and for all that I suck at impressions... of robots. (I apologize for nothing.) We bio Kaluuya, and Mike No. 1 gives you the specs on the movie, including release dates, box office, critical reception, and an awards season update.
Our expectations for the film dive right into our non-spoiler review with a lot of optimism regarding the future of the industry. The review moves into the production values with more nuggets from the film’s backstory, and we read between the lines of some of the critical acclaim. The review of the performances embraces the comedy and satire portrayed by the supporting cast, and we do some more gushing over Daniel Kaluuya’s break out role, hoping he gets the nod at the end of the day. Mike No. 1 teases his worst scene involving the Caleb Landry Jones character, and Also Mike loves how this is a horror movie filled with smart characters that have a ton of agency, a refreshing turn for the genre. Big surprise, we give this one a MUST WATCH review (it’s currently on HBO On Demand...FYI).
The Spoiler Music plays, you dance, and we dive right into weird mental pictures, smoochy sound effects, and Dad Jokes because we’re us. Mike No. 1’s best scene is his favorite on the year and an all timer for fans of the genre. Then we talk about THAT ending and break it down with lots of high fiving over all the Chekhov’s gun moments. We gush over all the delicious details that were conveyed with relish by Peele’s masterful writing and direction, the cast’s brilliant performances, and we set-up your upcoming rewatch for this baby ASA-f’ing-P. We nitpick with our worst scenes, we try to piece together some more of the plot’s intricacies that’ll push us all to continue to study this film, and we give our final grades.
Stay tuned as we LIVE TWEET these upcoming award shows, including 1/13’s Critics Choice Awards on the CW at 8pm EST!
