Summary
Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they Dance The Dance of Another while discussing Jordan Peele's Us (2019). While dance was a means to cast spells in our first feature, Suspiria (2018), dance is a means of liberation in this doppelgänger horror where the clones mobilze and fight back! It's a movie that's as secretly complex as it is deceptively eerie.
Featuring two brilliant performances from Lupita Nyong'o & Winston Duke, the fastest home invasion in cinematic history, and one of the best damn soundtracks of the decade, Us was an instant hit and has only grown in appreciation over time.
In this casually obsessed chat, we explore some of the wilder internet theories surrounding its controversial climax, we dive deep into the dark psychology of The Tethered, and (of course) fan girl over how this dang movie crafted some of the most instantly iconic moments of horror. Join ussssss...

| 0:07.0 | The current time is 666. |
| 0:10.0 | Traffic is clear ahead from here to the afterlife, but it's hell outside. |

| 0:21.0 | So, let's give a grave welcome to our hosts John and Kim. |
| 0:27.0 | Hello again, fiends and welcome back to Nightmare on Film Street, the horror movie podcast for the casually obsessed. |
| 0:37.0 | I'm John, I'm Kim. |
| 0:39.0 | And despite our best efforts, last week we were truly obsessed talking about |

| 0:48.6 | obsession for Jordan Peel's us. |
| 0:53.0 | This is part two of our Dance of Another series, |
| 0:57.0 | and I think just a perfect pairing for these two movies. |
| 1:00.0 | I love this pairing. |
| 1:02.0 | It's a little bit cheeky. It's based in concept and it's not quite literal, but it is also literal. I'm very much enjoying our pairing. |
| 1:08.5 | Right, one movie, you're dancing the dance of another and you're making yourself in the image of its creator |

| 1:20.8 | remaking a movie in general and then us is a movie about doppel gangers that are controlled by |
| 1:28.7 | one set that like roams the earth as free-willed individuals and another group referred to in this film as the |
| 1:35.6 | tethered. |
| 1:36.6 | There's also two really impactful scenes, one from each film. |
| 1:40.8 | Dance actually works. |
| 1:41.8 | Yeah, of dance with somebody being tethered to somebody else below. |
