Rewatchables Reference

• Bill's pick: the stretch from Chris finding the photos through Rose's turn – 'You mean those keys, Rose?' The classic horror movie scrapbook moment where the theater erupts as you see black guy after black guy in Rose's photos.
• Sean's pick: the Betty Gabriel phone confrontation – her saying 'tattletale' is burned into his brain. Also loves when Allison Williams finally turns evil.
• Cam's pick: Betty Gabriel's unplugging-the-phone scene – in one close-up shot she shows how the entire psychological horror is happening inside one person.
• Wesley's pick: the opening sequence – really three openings in one. The LaKeith Stanfield kidnapping (a Middle Passage allegory), the Swahili theme ('brother, listen to your ancestors, run'), and the Redbone/photography montage.

• Lil Rel Howery as Rod – a Pantheon heat check performance. Ad-libbed most of his lines. 'TSA motherfucking A' brought the house down in every theater screening.
• Betty Gabriel as Georgina – Wesley argues she gives the best performance in the movie. Had one of the hardest acting jobs of the year. Should have been nominated for an Oscar.
• Caleb Landry Jones as the brother Jeremy – every white lacrosse bro in college you were afraid of. Makes you genuinely uncomfortable because he's the most recognizable type of classic American racist.
• Bradley Whitford as the dad – 'My man, I would have voted for Obama for a third term.'
• LaKeith Stanfield – his kidnapping opening is the movie's Drew Barrymore-in-Scream moment.

• The Sunken Place – entered the cultural vocabulary as a metaphor. Jordan Peele himself tweets Sunken Place stuff.
• The casting – Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams (a perfect pivot from Girls), Betty Gabriel (a revelation), Lil Rel Howery. Cam says in the future he'll think about the Allison Williams pivot as a key career moment.
• The racism themes – the movie is even more relevant a year later. Jordan Peele's specific version of liberal racism had never been explicitly represented in Hollywood before, because 'the people who make movies are this kind of racist.'
• Daniel Kaluuya's performance – a top-five acting performance of the year. The first hypnosis scene alone shows extraordinary range: his eyes, mouth, hands, shoulders all working at once.

Bradley Whitford – a performance inside a performance. When you meet someone's dad and he's performing to either intimidate or impress you, doing both simultaneously. Then when he breaks bad, he's extremely malevolent to the point of parody, staring into the fireplace.

• Jordan Peele was inspired by Eddie Murphy's Delirious bit about white people staying in haunted houses. The title 'Get Out' comes directly from that routine.
• Catherine Keener controls her subjects with a silver spoon – synonymous with privilege.
• Rose fights the cop not to see Chris's ID because she doesn't want any record or trace of him existing.
• The bingo game at the party is a parallel for a slavery auction.
• The chair originally had polyester stuffing – Peele replaced it with cotton so Chris literally picks cotton to save his life.
• Bradley Whitford tells Chris he hates deer – Chris kills him with the mounted deer head.
• Rose eating Froot Loops separately from milk: 'Froot Loops' = crazy + a visual metaphor for segregation.
• The end weapons are a lacrosse stick and a bocce ball – rich prep school weapons.
• Rod ad-libbed the majority of his funny lines.
• The same MMA headlock the brother uses on Chris in the end is the same move used to kidnap LaKeith Stanfield in the opening.

• A single camera flash can undermine the entire Coagula brain transplant process – they never figured that out in all their trial runs?
• The brother recovers remarkably fast from a bocce ball concussion and blood pouring from his head.
• The basement surgery protocols – who's doing anesthesia? Is it sanitary? Who's cleaning up? Dad and the loser son are the entire surgical team?
• Would two small pieces of cotton really block Chris's ears from the hypnosis?
• The Coagula exposition video – why would you create evidence of your brain transplant scheme? Why connect Chris to the person taking his body?
• How old is Rose supposed to be? If she's had 9 relationships at 3-4 months each, she could be anywhere from 20 to 35.

Too early to say definitively since the movie is only a year old. But Jordan Peele went from Key and Peele to one of the five most anticipated filmmakers in America. Hard to believe he'll top this, but they're anxious to find out.

Danny Trejo – the answer is always yes. He's one of the couples at the party who's already been Coagula'd. Or maybe the handlebar mustache guy who says 'the pendulum has swung back.' Or Rod's buddy at TSA.

• Is this a thriller or a horror movie? Jordan Peele coined the term 'social thriller.' The hosts mostly agree it's closer to Rosemary's Baby than Saw.
• Did Rose live? She didn't totally die at the end – she's on her side with her eyes kind of open. She's like the liquid dude from Terminator 2.
• Did Chris ever date another white girl after this? Wesley pitches 'Get In' – Chris dates a Black woman, Samuel L. Jackson is the father.

• Cam's pick: Betty Gabriel – nothing works without her showing in one shot how the entire psychological horror is happening inside one person.
• Sean and Bill's pick: Jordan Peele – he went from the Football Players sketch on Key and Peele to one of the five most anticipated filmmakers in America.
• Wesley's pick: America – the audience support, enthusiasm, and understanding of this movie is unprecedented. 'Get Out' primed the pump for Black Panther and gave studios confidence.
