The takeaway so many people have with "Us" is that "The clone Adelaide we follow is the true villain for stealing the ORIGINAL Adelaide's life" But that is what is interesting: The reason "Red" AKA the original Adelaide wants to get revenge is for being forced to live in those tunnels, correct? So living in the tunnels is a bad thing, obviously. And yet, when the cloned Adelaide escaped the tunnels - we're supposed to hate her for wanting the exact same thing that Red wanted? Because it's almost like saying "the poor people should stay suffering in the poor place and the well-off people should stay well off" when it's much more complicated than that. I think Peele was making a statement about the “I got mine so fuck yours”/always wanting something better mentality of the USA. Adelaide’s husband is constantly jealous of their rich friends and their possessions; meanwhile the tethered are mad at the surface dwellers for enjoying a life of luxuries they take for granted. And the people at the top, the rich Tylers, who have it all, are still miserable. It’s an attitude infecting America…which BTW this film has Hands across AMERICA, a thing that was meant to “combat” poverty. Red responding to Gabe “We’re Americans!” United States = US. This movie is about the U.S. and this movie is about “us” as a country. THAT is the whole conversation that Peele was trying to start, I believe.

i love how we’ve followed her from girl who’s scared of everything to horror themes daily

When Rose switched up on Chris about the keys, one lady in the theater shouted “This trifling BITCH!”

Another thing about Gordy's Home: smiling and showing teeth is a sign of aggression/threat for chimps, so through the entirety of the show, Gordy was surrounded by people exploiting him while also using threatening body language. Combine that with the stress of filming, it's no wonder he snapped

In Nope Gordy doesn’t show “trust” in Jupiter by sparing him as Jupiter came to interpret it later; if you rewatch the scene it’s because jupiter never looks Gordy directly in the eyes (there is a cloth between them the entire time). That’s the only thing that spares his life, it’s not because jupiter was “special”. We see this mirrored in the alien later; looking him directly in the eyes is what triggers the animalistic instinct to kill. The horror of “being seen” is a core theme paralleled everywhere in this film. This is also why Jupiter comes to believe the aliens “trust” him later on; he believes he’ll get special treatment again from them just like he was “chosen” by Gordy, but in the end it’s just misplaced trust because at the end of the day, they are simply wild animals doing what animals do.

can you imagine how terrifying it would be to be a little girl growing up with the untethered. that idea is scarier than the whole movie

in 50 years every jordan peele film is gonna be considered a classic

The amount of violent damage one single chimpanzee can bring on to someone could be a horror movie by itself.

One of the things I noticed this time around with seeing Us is that her little boy knew whenever he saw his mom kill their neighbor's Other daughter. The way that she moved changed and she was grunting and breathing in a primal way that the Others were. She didn't change her attitude because her son saw her kill someone but because her old mannerisms slipped out. He knew from that moment.

I find it so interesting when Jupiter explains what happened on Gordy’s Home to Oj and Emerald. The fact that he explains what happens through the SNL skit instead of the event itself. To me, I feel like Jupiter is unable to not only come to terms with and speak about this traumatic event but accept that this event happened.

I know he didn’t direct this one but I definitely think the 2021 adaptation of candyman is a MUST WATCH. Jordan peele produced and wrote it, it definitely feels like it’s in the Jordan peele kind of universe

Daniel is such a good actor. He cried for real during the hypnosis tea scene. And at the end when he was fighting the family & realizing Rose's betrayal, he portrayed all those emotions so well - the anxiety, fear, anger, determination. I will be forever happy that my guy got out of there 🙌🏾 💯 💙

They're being DIGESTED girl! Its fucked, you can hear one of them screaming "it burns" while it's happening.

the way i figured out that they had switched on Us was the fact that shadow adelaide was so much more graceful than the surface adelaide when they were combat dancing and also that shadow adelaide was the only shadow person that could talk. i just found it so weird that surface adelaide was stumbling around like the shadow people, but shadow adelaide wasn't.

What I loved about the ending of get out was that it was a very big moment for Chris, he had always hated leaving people to die on a road due to his mum and his guilt for it but at the ends he leaves her to die as if to show his power in the situation.

I love how we went from Trin being scared and closing her eyes in scary movie commentaries, to now her being in love with horror movies. We love growth

The grandparents doing a lot of physical work in Get Out is partially explained by the grandfather being so obsessed by the fact that he lost to Jesse Owens. He views black male bodies (and I say bodies, specifically, because he as well as the other characters, dehumanize them) as strong, fast, and powerful, something he was so envious of that he created the entire cult/scheme to harvest those bodies. Two other factors are that they went from their elderly bodies to younger, more physically able bodies, and the last part is that they probably do it as part of a cover. Even while they are in black bodies, they still view black people as "the help" and pretend to take on those roles as that is how they think the world should be.

i genuinely dont think haywood died at the end, bc the expression emerald made looked more like relief than anything, i think haywood being in such a dramatic shot at the end was just a way to show that he made it. and i trust that jordan wont follow the, only one of them can survive trope

another reason i think gordy didn't kill jupe is because he's under the sheet/doesnt see his eyes that well. the whole film is like dont look at it, and the fact that his eyes were covered coupled with the recognition/trust gordy had for jupe may have played into that. later we see jupe's inability to explain what happened (instead telling the snl story) shows he's never gotten help/healed from that experience. so he goes on to think he has some special connection to animals instead of learning FROM that experience. he in fact goes on to do the very same mistake Gordy's Home made

I saw NOPE 5 times at the movie theater. That may have been a little overkill but it’s definitely one of the best theater movie experiences I’ve ever had and I wish I could watch it for the first time again.

us was perhaps the most disturbing psychological thriller i’ve seen in years. mainly because the concept and execution was absolutely EXCELLENT from start to finish. (tbh though, i might’ve only found it scary bc a part of it spoke to my younger, far more timid, far more petrified/anxious self that did not handle fear or creepiness well!!)

The only reason Gordy didn’t kill jupe was because of the tablecloth. They probably didn’t even fistbump irl I think jupe imagined that and the shoe.

I love the parallel that Gordy died/ went mad bc of balloons, and also Jean jacket died in a similar way, with the balloon of Jupe

Steven Yuen’s monologue made me think of the SNL Try Guys “sketch” and I’m realising how much that message is embedded in truth. Media taking a spectacle, no matter what it is, and turning it into entertainment.

Hey I want to talk about "A Bad Miracle". I only learned this off of playing a jumpscare videogame about running from a randomly generated creepy-crawly on a haunted ship, but the word for A Bad Miracle is "Monstrum". Back in the days when they hunted werewolves and burned witches, if a mother gave birth to a child with the head of a beast, the deformed baby was a monster, but the event itself was a monstrum.

Gordy didn’t kill Jupiter because the curtain stopped them making direct eye contact which is a sign of aggression whereas he looks directly at the saucer and that’s why he died cause it kills everyone that looks at it

Stop everything you're doing and watch Wendell & Wild rn. I will go to my grave loving Jordan Peele after he pretty much said F you to Tim Burton for saying black people wouldn't look right in claymation.

Trin is back and more beautiful than ever. The overall background screams neon old school movie posters to me. It kinda just takes you back to probably 70s to 80s slasher films.

Us is the most terrifying of the trio and I think it’s because it doesn’t have an explanation. Get Out - rich racists who don’t think they’re racists, Nope - an alien from outer space, Us - WHERE DID THOSE PEOPLE COME FROM HAVE THEY ALWAYS BEEN THEIR WHAT IS GOING ON

When you said you haven't seen Us, I literally started dancing in my seat. SUCH a good scary movie. I love watching people watch it!!!

The thing about Gordy is he’s a wild animal who has a natural instinct - eye contact (which is why Jupe was saved, he was looking at the “bad miracle” shoe standing on its own instead of looking into Gordy’s eyes and the table cloth obscuring direct eye contact), loud noises, which initially set him off, etc… tying in with what the Jean jacket is doing. Jean jacket is sheltering in place until it can find food, and the way it does that is by hearing and making “eye contact” with its prey, it’s just what’s in its nature to do, just like a wild animal who knows no difference.

It actually makes me so mad that people would even entertain the idea of OJ being dead. Like no the whole point is that she feels relief after seeing OJ is there and then the picture comes 2nd. The moral is that you should focus on important things like family rather than chasing fame. The example, for what not to do, and of losing everything is Jupe who not only lost everything but brought all those ppl down (including his childhood crush, who also survived the attack & his wife & kids) with him.

“invalidate yourself with that 😐 invalidate your own feelings with that thought” lmaooo

no bc the way that monkey scene is the most horrifying thing i’ve ever seen in my life i slept with the lights on for WEEKS

i would love if trin started a patreon and uploaded more uncut, longer versions of her videos. idk how patreon is about copyright, but if they’re more lenient than youtube, i would 100% subscribe.

I think the thing about the parents doing the chores in Get Out was just a facade for Chris

14:31 SAME I always say just randomly “you know I can’t give you the keys right babe”. Finally someone with the same appreciation for this as me

I would love to see your thoughts on the movie Wendell and Wild! It was seriously so good and is made by Jordan Peele and Henry Selick(known for his claymation work on Coraline, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, etc.)! I absolutely loved this video by the way!

35:55 the way i interpreted it is that gordy doesn’t kill jupe because the table cloth obscures his eye contact, just like how not making eye contact with jean jacket prevents it from eating you

My brother and I were the tethered for Halloween this year :) Also the whole fight between Adelaide and Red was to show how durable Adelaide is. She got cut and stabbed multiple times and still recovered, while Red was very precise in her movements. The tethered do have some enhanced abilities, Red isn’t an actual tethered so the one stab is what killed her. It also makes sense why Red is so intelligent and is the only one that can speak since she’s originally from the surface. Her voice is damaged because of Adelaide choking her before kidnapping her!!!

Maturing is realising that regardless of being scared of everything, horror is the best film genre

I swear Jordan Peele is the most amazing director. I don't believe that he can make a bad movie. It won't be flawless because no one is, but it will still be the most amazing thing ever

10:25 they don't usually do the work around the house; when Rose brings someone home they pretend to be the help to keep up the fake appearances. But the rest of the time they are a part of the family. It's just another front to keep him from being suspicious too quickly

just realized that I already watched every movie he made without intention… loved every single one

In Get Out the parents were only doing the housework while Chris was there to keep up the front

I watched saw bits and pieces of this movie. The scene where the people were in the monster was horrifying and made me feel nauseous. I am also now afraid of monkeys now which is kinda valid (learned about what inspired the monkey stuff). Honestly I don't think I could watch the movie Nope fully ever but I can appreciate how good it seems. Edit: I can look at some monkey memes sort of fine but it is the pictures/videos of monkeys smiling that get me the most. I feel disgusted and terrified looking at that.

I also think that in Nope, a huge part of why Gordy didn't attack Jupe was because of the veil between them from the table cloth. The movie brings in so many themes about eye contact & how to animals, that's a threat. They weren't able to make direct eye contact because of the slip between them, which is also what made the shot that was mentioned about Gordy looking into the camera so jostling. We exist with the same primal instinct and it carries through - Gordy, the horses, and finally Jean Jacket. The term 'spectacle' was a beautiful way to describe the exploitation, while also focusing on the viewing aspect. We crack under a lens.

Other directors with short filmographies you could do: Ryan Coogler, Robert Eggers, Greta Gerwig, Ari Aster, Martin McDonagh, Yorgos Lanthimos, Damien Chazelle, Mike Mills. And then a little on the medium side Denis Villeneuve, David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson.

Didn’t notice til now the double meaning of ”crushing it, killing it, being a force of nature” when talking about the Sln skit

the sunken place really resonated for me in terms of having frequent dissociation/depersonalization. like that’s exactly how it feels when you get so trapped you can’t do a thing

Going from girl who is scared of everything to a horror fan was exactly what happened when i got treatment for ocd. Everything went from like. Soul crushingly terrifying to like. Super fun!! I love these videos :3

Another theory I heard was that the scene with Gordy was to show how you can’t tame a wild animal. In Gordy’s home they wanted to tame the monkey for entertainment and it didn’t work out. Jupiter didn’t learn from this traumatic event and instead he tried to tame Jean jacket for entertainment which inevitably got him killed. My dad brought this theory up to me and I found it very interesting to think about.

trin's lighting setup is incredible , i love the background so much . ITS ALL SO GOOD !!!!

Deer = hunters Rabbits = clones Chimpanzees = circus? Unusual encounters?

Trin you can’t just tease us with that amazing horror Spotify playlist and not give it to us 😭

Jordan Peele is a freaking visionary. He was iconic when he was on Mad Tv, and then his Key and Peele show, and his directorial career so far is stellar. I love his work, and will see anything with this name attached. Personally US, was my favorite of his films so far. I am so excited to see his career expand and grow.

jordan peele also made candyman with nia dacosta which is also pretty spooky. you should definitely give it watch!

“Fuckin’ CW.” Is a quote that will stick with me till I die lol

He don’t come around often but when he do he cooks everytime. Never a bad film.

trin.. i love hearing you talk about movies. these are my top 3 fave movies of all time and im so happy that you did this. jordan peele is a god

I loved the outfit changes!!!! Especially the Jupiter park one! I am so glad you did this video, I love analyzing peele movies

Oh yeah absolutely obsessed with the background, vibes are immaculate especially with the lights

The way this video just opened my third eye about Nope. I love listening to your theories, I didn’t even consider that he might be dead in that last shot 🤨

Obsessed with the background aaaaaaa it’s so PRETTY like the lightning and everything

I'm so so glad you made this video Peele is one of my MUST-SEE directors, anything he makes I'm there in a cinema lickety split. I could talk about his films for hours but I'll keep it brief - in my interpretation ending of Nope when the sister closes her eyes and the brother appears under the arch, it's not her imagining him there or him being dead but her being reminded of what matters. In a whole film about spectacle and keeping your eyes open and them being so obsessed with getting the shot (the film director who's killed as he's filming), in the final scene she closes her eyes and he appears because she's looking inwards and being reminded of what really matters which is her brother. Her whole character arc is about being on screen and being seen but by the end of the film, she knows the only person she really needs to be witnessed by is her loved ones. I like to believe he's alive and they burn the photos but I'm an optimist

I'm just over here appreciating the backdrop cuz it looks very good and I'm very proud of you for making it look so good

I love randomly stumbling across a brand new video

I didn’t expect to see this tonight and I was so excited bc I also love get out and nope, they’re sooo good. I see why not many understand Us but it was scarier than I remembered watching in theaters three years ago lol

I have seen all of Jordans movies. I watched nope recently and it was so freaking good. My favorite is still us right now but nope is right behind it.

it's directed by henry selick, but peele and him collaborated on the script for wendell and wild and i highly recommend it

i love u trin i needed this right now

An M. Night Shyamalan horror marathon might be a good idea! I know they're not exactly consistent quality, but he's one of those directors with a really obvious style and it would be cool to see your thoughts on them

aaahhhhh i love this so much. all of jordan peele movies are incredible, and i loved hearing what you had to say about them! i didn't make some of those connections with the nope movie so that was very eye-opening for me

Didn’t Jordan Peele also help direct Wendell and Wild? Would love to see Trin’s thoughts on it!!

the grandpa and grandma couldnt live like they were actually party of the family because no one would believe in that kind of relationship so when they have "guests" they have to pretend to be the help and only that (of course they could do chores casually but when daniel arrives its ONLY that) it has to be part of the play and if they had actually family relation in front of the daniel (cant remembrr any character name) it would freak the sh*t out of him, thats why when grandma its a little bit too nosy (something normal for her being who she actually is) they have to reprehend her and treat her like the house cleaner only

IM GONNA CRY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

i really appreciated your commentary on all the movies + all your observations on nope. i also really really appreciate how you broke down the jupiter's claim/gordy's home/star lasso connection, because that's something i heard a lot of people not understanding/getting. as for a bad miracle, i guess anything that lets you live past an initial horrific incident but completely fucks you over later. like. yeah, you survived but at what cost? which, now that i think about it, could also tie into "yes, em has The Oprah Shot but she's lost her home, her father, the horses, her normal life, and (possibly) her brother." and then there's the fame that's gonna come from her getting the shot in the first place, which - as we all know by now - can be extremely detrimental. she got famous and she survived, but at what cost?

I don’t mean to correct but I’ve been looking on Nope and seeing that Gordy didn’t hurt Jupe because his eyes were covered by the table cloth. And if he were to truly look into the predators eyes, he would threaten him

The amount of times i screamed in theaters during the chimp scenes of NOPE is insane. I scared the people around me in the theater. I was losing it

Us was the only horror movie that fucked me up. Like I usually can watch a horror movie and go to bed, when I watched Us, I literally could not stop thinking about their smiles

Loved this! You should do the same thing but with Mike Flanagan movies!

Love you trin You are awesome my favorite youtuber I'm so excited that I'm finally Early two of your videos

I was able to go to the set of Us, the Santa Cruz Pier and it was so cool! I went over the summer and I honestly forgot that the movie was even filmed there until I saw a poster that said some of the movies filmed on the pier haha

the way u served everything that needed to be served

the merch looks really good ❤❤

i just love all the conversation in the comments, it’s really nice to see how people analyze and perceive these movies.

yes i love jordan peele’s movies they’re so interesting

the accent just flowing naturally for the jupiter costume like it just comes with it!!!

i love how cozy you look in todays word from your sponsor 💞

15:08 - is giving Tarzan's "It doesn't seem sanitary to mmee" vibes

this video motivated me to finally watch nope (before i got to the section about it) and i loved it so thanks lol

I’m pretty sure what’s happening in the alien showcase scene in nope is I think the alien was digesting them. At one point you can hear someone say “it burns!”

If you haven’t already watched all A24 movies you should do a video watching the ones you haven’t watched! WAVES is an A24 movie and one of my all time favorite movies that makes me cry every time. Id love to see you watch it! ✨

This was very fun, and you're right the scores in his films are incredible

literally just saw the tiktok !!! the costume is so freaking cool >>>>

jordan peele and trin lovell? my favourite things to watch when i’m down? this is my new comfort video

you are the superior movie commentary ytber

the jupiter costume ahh too cute!!

SLAY IM EXCITED FOR THIS
