Summary

With their potent mix of horror, comedy, and social satire, the films of Jordan Peele are the rare Hollywood films that succeed in entertaining while also puzzling, sending audiences out of the theater sifting through clues in an attempt to find meaning. Peele's latest - NOPE - is no exception, with Adam and Josh sharing their own theories about the director/prophet's wild west sci-fi that's loaded with themes of trauma, spectacle, race, and the movie industry's complicity in all those things. Also, there are some scares. And some laughs. Adam and Josh get spoiler-y in the second half of the review to sort out some lingering questions. Adam also recommends the Russo Brothers' new THE GRAY MAN, and the Summer of Stanwyck continues with Preston Sturges's 1941 screwball classic THE LADY EVE, starring Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. 0:00 - Billboard 1:05 - Review: "Nope" 25:01 - "Nope" Spoilers 46:20 - "The Gray Man" 50:32 - Notes / Polls 1:09:33 - Stanwyck #3: "The Lady Eve" 1:40:22 - Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
