PODCAST! EP. 16: We like Us, we really, really like Us

Lupita Nyong’o in Jordan Peele’s Us

Lupita Nyong’o in Jordan Peele’s Us

In this episode, Jim Slotek, Kim Hughes, Liam Lacey, Karen Gordon and Thom Ernst talk at length about Jordan Peele’s terrific doppelgänger horror film Us - the psychological overtones, the style, the tension - while giving away very little about the plot. Here’s our backs (pat, pat, pat).

We talk about yet another casting couch tale in the #MeToo era, the resignation of the CEO of Warners over a sex-for-film-roles scandal. We opine on the newest wave of technological innovations movie theatres are supposed to pay for (4K, 3D, 128 frames per second) and offer a rundown of the busiest film release week of the year.
