Summary
<p>Kelsi and Trey discuss Jordan Peele and Lupita Nyong'o's puzzling horror masterpiece 'Us' for 3+ hours. This conversation takes many turns, but we mostly follow the throughline of Peele's work by exploring his filmography's ambitious thematic goal of revealing the "American Dream" as an American nightmare. In 'Us,' Peele smartly subverts genres with the all-American family comedy, the home invasion thriller, and the sci-fi slasher to settle the audience into his larger American duality allegory about the effects of economic disparities and the tribalism that follows. We also talk about the under-appreciated Lupita Nyong'o performance as both Adelaide and Red. Sign up for Patreon below!</p>
