The first time I ever laughed so hard that I cried as a result of a viewing experience was during the Family Matters Key & Peele Skit (if you haven’t seen it, watch on YouTube. It’s even better than the classic A-Aron skit). In 2017, Peele took a sharp pivot from the Comedy Central content to explore his ability to make visionary feature films, writing and directing his first with “Get Out”. While I’m quite aware of the hellish tendencies that come with filmmaking, this transition seemed effortless. Never have I seen someone redefine their career in a new craft with such grace. In this episode, one of my best friends and film guru, Louie Kurtzman, and myself sit down to discuss Peele’s next move, another dive into the realm of horror, this time with a symphony of uncanny, supernatural chaos. For the last eight years, Jordan Peele has been responsible for consistently painting more smiles on my face than essentially anyone alive. Today, with his first two features, he still does, but one of bewilderment and awe to experience air tight storytelling with a hypnotic soul.
