Just saw Nope again and this song actually plays when the main characters are in the little museum display for this show…spooky stuff by Jordan Peele 🤌🏼

One of the most disturbing parts of the movie to me was honestly when Jupe was talking about the snl sketch of the horrific incident. Felt really disgusting and kind of plays into the idea of commercialization and sensationalization of tragedy.

[addiehart]

The parts with Gordy’s rampage is the scariest part of the movie for me. Something like that is so realistic, especially after the whole Travis the chimp thing.

Gordy’s rampage really could’ve been it’s own movie, that shit was intense asf

[nileshkumaraswamy]

The Gordy incident seems like one of those lost footage things that would get buried and be the subject of spooky youtube videos

[OGDAW]

Wow that seems like a wholesome show. I’m sure the monkey has a great relationship with that family

[Doofles]

I love how at 0:45 it mirrors the scene in the movie where he hides under the table.

The song playing does a pretty good job of embodying the film's message of catastrophic exploitation. The lyrics about being enthralled by a strange animal to the point of wanting to follow it, just like how Jean Jacket has been turned into a spectacle and a cash cow. And even after it becomes clear that this creature presents a very real danger, people will still continue to pursue it just for the chance of seeing it.

[jiado]

OK, a quantum physics book hiding behind a skeezy magazine is actually fairly brilliant.

[cah-ys]

One of my favorite details of this is that this clip uses the real song "(You're A) Strange Animal" by Gowan... except it seems to have rather pointedly skipped over the first verse, which is about how the titular "strange animal" is potentially dangerous and should be approached only with caution. In other words, whoever made this show completely ignored the actual message of the song, and it ended up costing the lives of at least two people (and possibly dozens more, depending on how much of the Star Lasso Experience was the result of what Ricky experienced on set that day).

[Missshantel]

"You're a strange animal, I got to follow" and people say that the Gordy storyline has no place in the movie. It's all about taming something you don't understand, exploiting animals for spectacle, and the sacrifices artists make for their art.

I loved Gordy's home. The episode with the balloons was so funny I laughed my face off

[armandas]

Besides the digestion scene, Gordy's rampage was, honestly, one if the most disturbing scenes in horror movies in a long time, I know that lot of you won't agree fully with this, but to me, this was just perfect horror, no score, brutal sounds of Gordy bashing ( Probably eating, because he seems to munch on the mother actress), the terrified father actor trying his best not to get killed by Gordy by running, and then you can just hear him please for his life, but in the end still getting bashed to death. and the scene were he slowly walks towards young Jupe ( also directly in our faces ), you can see his face covered in blood, and after Gordy got shot dead, I still found it disturbing, mainly because it was a poor chimp, even though he killed two people.
The soul reason for this just no score, nothing, just terrified Jupe and Gordy's silent breathing.

this is my opinion at least, what is your opinion?

[slowbro]

"You're a strange animal I've got to follow"
This is also a good song for Jean Jacket, it absolutely fits both characters and also deals with the whole spectacle angle of the film

[kamionero]

Poor Mary Joe… she survived getting her face eaten only for Jean Jacket to finish the job

[CyborgCharlotte]

Two things not many have pointed out: the song deliberately has the first verse with lyrics about being cautious around an unknown creature be cut out, and notice how there’s very few shots of Gordy in this. This was probably when the studio execs were listening to the animal handlers…..only to end up ignoring them later

[thedogpound]

this should have been the intro to NOPE. It would make the birthday scene more terrifying to juxtapose the upbeat nature with the horror, and it makes the fist bump scene much more powerful

[blopster]

I watched this a dozen times, I loved it so much. The idea that Peele went to the trouble to design and film this pitch-perfect parody of an 80’s sitcom title intro—complete with cheesy music, period clothes and glitchy VHS effects—is absolutely perfect. So the “show” was about a super geek family where the mom was an astronaut (who happened to look like Sally Ride??), the dad was a scientist, they had a girl, an adopted Korean kid AND a chimpanzee?? With “Strange Animal” as the theme song?? How brilliant is this! Talk about dark comedy: the resonance is phenomenal.

[Shack]

Another thing that the character of Ricky “Jupe” Park didn’t learn? His character within the show (within the movie) was also a spectacle.

On “Gordy’s Home”, he’s playing an Asian kid adopted by a White family. He stood out and was put on display by them. Then they adopted Gordy and he was pretty much replaced by another spectacle, which as we later saw in the film, became fatal and traumatic.

[RafaelElectronic]

Jordan Peele really knows what he's doing. Just look at this comment section, we're literally asking for "a Gordy spin-off" after seeing this because, just like the folks in the movie, we too are obsessed with chasing the spectacle
