Everybody missed it Jordan’s red jacket he’s a double

[yawoelevn]

Jordan is happy to talk to her. I can tell he isn’t forcing the conversation. He is genuine

[tlc_nerv]

“i think the difference between horror & a comedy is often the music”

that hit deep.

[saulgoodman]

Sorry, Jordan was sick today so we just sent his tethered to do the interview 🙂.

[therealvoodoochild]

She was so genuine while interviewing him and you could tell he enjoyed the conversation. It didn’t feel robotic at all.

[bluecheeze]

That 5on it riff is forever going to be his signature scare song

[chrono]

The dark remex of "I Got 5 on it " is so sick .. That Cello and violins or what ever it is awesome stuff!

[TheBigdan]

That girl is pretty, great personality and Peele is doing awesome, his horror movies are on point

[caskitg]

Really made me avoid mirrors for a while cus im afraid of seeing my own face moving on its own tbh

[daheeznuddi]

I think the reason why scissors are important is because the scissor has 2 blades never splitting just like red and adelaide

[feralfarrell]

I’m so happy there’s finally someone who’s making original, well made horror films. 🙏🏼

[IsaiasMGPalafox]

I want a deleted scene of Peele and his doppelgänger. 👏🤣

Can you imagine if Key and Peele made a Get Out parody.

[sORrYiMLaTEwHAtdiDiMiSs.]

Love Jordan fanning over Janelle Monae!! She's awesome!!!

[taylorashford]

she said she watched Get Out "many" years ago lmfaooo, . like it was a century ago.

[Fannywikstrom]

7:34 ”In Get Out I have a scene where someone’s running towards us and in this I have a scene where *someone is running away from **_Us_* “

[bosmarley]

Movie had me paranoid every night until I watched it the 2nd time lol good movie

[ajaycbaby]

I like how they did not use guns in this movie. The swissors made it more creepy and terrifying. I have to watch it again, I missed a few clues the first time I watched it because I was distracted by the waiter in the movie theatre.

[aavalestormiconicperformer]

This movie really made me think. Great psychological horror movie.

[captaineveryman]

My theory is the two movies, "Get Out" and "Us", are in the same universe. The "Tetherd" experiment was an attempt by the "Coagula Cult" at creating bodies to transfer their consciousness into, instead of abducting people for that purpose. So "Us" is a kind of prequel.
