The Horror Cut

THIS SEASON’S THEME: FIRST FEATURES

Welcome to episode 005. Ashley and Gary are joined by Scottish, Music Composer John McFarlane who has picked the hugely successful 'GET OUT' (directed by JORDAN PEELE) for us to discuss.

Synopsis
Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.

In the early 18th century, England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving.
