Summary

This week, we chat with Emmy and Peabody award-winning writer/comedian Jordan Peele about his directorial debut, “Get Out.” Spoiler alert! There are spoilers! But we try to give you a heads up before, and also, if you haven’t seen the movie already, what are you doing with your life?!? Come for Jordan’s take on the social thriller as a way to build empathy - especially in America's fucked up racial climate - and stay for his delightful appreciation of the man, the myth, the legend: Reginald VelJohnson. Plus, shoutouts to nail polish, Marie Kondo, and getting through a long-ass week.
