to me us represents the evil side that every person has that a lot show but in this movie your evil side are real people
So Steven saw this film prior to this reaction video but not Nikki. Am I correct?
@@introverthoney8876 not sure why you’d say that but you’re wrong. Neither of us had seen this before watching it.
@Nikki & Steven React,
Then I apologize. I’m glad I’m wrong.
🐇
I honestly feel like Lupita should've gotten an Oscar nom for giving not one but TWO stellar performances in one movie. Add it to the list along with Toni Collette in "Hereditary."
100%!!!
Facts! So talented.
Yesssssssssssssss!!!!
Yup! I really, REALLY hate how the academy constantly overlooks performances from horror films. Lupita and Toni were ASTONISHING in their roles and there's many others too that get left out of award shows each and every time. I'll never understand it.
SHE DEF SHOULD HAVE it frustrates me so much she's so talented and i feel like she doesn't truly get the recognition or roles she deserves
Steven: "You all right?"
Nikki: "Nope!"
Me: "Ahh foreshadowing their next Jordan Peele movie reaction."
Lmao
YOOO LITERALLY LOL I just hope they don’t go into it thinking it’s a Full on Horror like this one.
Hehehehe I haven't seen it yet!
Candyman first!
@@marc_aint_shit Jordan Peele only produced Candyman
The mom let her animalistic instincts out when she killed that woman and started to growl a bit hinting at her true origins
No
@@Zombina638 yes
@@ItzCleverYouth be more specific
@@Zombina638 45:25
When you realise that Addy's kids did so well in fighting back because they were half other, and more prone to violence. And other Addy's kids were more human, because they were half human.
But all four kids are half human, half tethered.
Yup Red’s kids grew up entirely underground
I think you just made that up in your mind bro. All of them are human.
@@witdajuice6763 ikr
no but like this makes senseeee
the son clearly gaged the fact that his mother may not be the original because of her primal growls when she killed Red. but he pulled the mask down as a sign that he would turn a blind eye to it. the commentary of this movie is phenomenal on how society is in todays world.
Throughout the movie he pulls his mask down when he's scared...same as this scene
Please elaborate on this. I don't get the movie at all.
@@LanceLust1980HugeTheWarningFan the "normal" mum is not the human variant, the end of the movie showed that she had swapped out with the tethered version of herself. the son is known to pull the mask down when he's scared, at the end he pulled it down, symbolising he knew what his mum actually was but wont say anything. if you need more just reply
@@lekaoforty.726Sorry, I meant the commentary on society today.
Get Out was about race
US is about class inequality
There are so many crazy details in this movie, some of my favorites are:
Lupitas character has no rhythm when she tries to sing a long to the 5 on it song but yet she was a professional dancer, which indicates it was her underground version that was the talented dancers
She also doesn't eat meat because she grew up eating rabbits
You also see her gradually turning more feral through the film
The underworld son has a burnt face because the surface world version keeps lighting a lighter in his face but it never works, well in the underground it did light and he basically burned his face off over time.
that detail is amazing, I didn't even catch none of that first time around
what do you think Nope is about? I find myself still thinking about that movie - it is not as clear cut with the theme as his first two
@@kevink9764 I love NOPE.
It is more confusing to some bc it is much more open ended in terms of meaning.
But what I’ve come to see it is both a biblical analogy as well as a tale of exploitation.
All of the animals in NOPE follow the trend of being used and exploited to make humans rich. Hence the entire theme of them being horse owners, from the races to the commercials, etc.
The Gordy chimp situation represents the entire film.
Humans trying to tame the wild, yet the wild is untamable and will remind you of that.
Actually how the same boy who thought he could tame a ravaging ape, to trying to tame a extraterrestrial and trying to use it for profit of the show. And just like Gordy, it’s nature could not be controlled.
All in pursuit of the spectacle of seemingly taking the untamable.
@@kevink9764 the biblical aspect comes in from that scripture at the beginning of the film, Nahum 3:6 “I will cast abominable filth upon you, Make you vile, And make you a spectacle.”
And the design of the extraterrestrial on its final form is said to like look what a certain biblically accurate angel looks like.
What I got from all of that is the extraterrestrial itself is an analogy of a angel “cast” from Heaven and made a “spectacle” for humanity of which its feeds on.
@@rari2943 great explanation. I have a gut feeling they had to cut alot from the movie to keep it under a certain amount of time to please the studio
One of the reasons Addy was seen as the chosen one is because she’s the only one that can talk, the tethered never learned speech that’s why they communicate with growls and hand motion. Addy grew up as a tethered, growing more feral as the years went on yet had a “developed” mind to aim at a goal. Red grew up becoming a normal person, slowly losing her feral nature however as the events of the night went on she started coming back to that feral instinct. When she killed one of the twins she was panting and growling, when she killed Addy she growled again. - As creepy and unsettling this movie is it’s still one of the best horrors!
Uh what
🔥🔥🔥
Yessss 😃💯
No its not one of the best horrors. also nice job just reciting the plot like it couldnt be followed all you did was point out obvious things that were on the screen
@@stillwaitingfor99 What don't you like about it?
Lupita Nyong'o should've been nominated for an Oscar for her double performance; but the academy is always scared of horror
they should be
fr
Unless it's a movie about racism, and thus, the Academy will be afraid of being called racist for not recognizing it. Case in point: Get Out.
The doppelgänger was the real victim in all of this the whole time, this movie was so freaking good 🔥
An interesting comparison between Jordan Peele’s first two movies: Get Out was about 2 souls in one body and Us was about 1 soul in 2 bodies.
ooh... that's a good one
I would like but I’ll leave it at 69 🫡
And Nope is about how we're willing to sacrifice our souls for the spectacle, "Oprah shot"
And Nope is about many souls in one monster body.
So the rabbits are used symbolically throughout the film. In one sense, they symbolize rebirth - the Tethered trying to start a new chapter on the surface. And in a dual sense, rabbits are often used as test subjects - the Tethered were essentially a forgotten experiment.
I shouldn't laugh when Nikki has her "No, Bitch No" moments, but I can't help it! Love watching movies with you guys!
Lol, her repeatedly smacking him in the arm during some of those always makes me laugh. XD
I like her saying "Word"!
Same! Lol
I live for it 😂
right 😭
Loved how this was using Clones as an allegory to class divide. It also took me months to notice all of the horror references. (Friday The 13th= Jason wearing a mask, The Shining= how the twins were set up when they were killed, Funny Games= Golf club being used as a weapon and the dad getting hit in the knee, C.H.U.D.= The tethered coming out from the ground, etc.)
I actually liked how they used a movie as an allergory to shit.
nightmare on elm street with the gloves and the lost boys when they were talking about the movie being filmed on the boardwalk.
Lupita Nyong’o is so amazing in this film. But, she’s always great. She won the Academy Award for best supporting actress for her performance in “12 Years A Slave” from 2014. Brilliant, and heart-wrenching.
Can you imagine the Nikki tears if they watched that one? She'd be devastated
@@mizal7893 What an incredible movie though. Like “Schindler’s List”, it should be required viewing.
I watched this movie only once and didn't realize until watching you guys that the fun house the girl went into says "Find Yourself", which for this movie, has both a metaphorical and literal meaning. Jordan Peele is a genius
yeah, the whole prologue is full of foreshadowing I had no idea about, or just didn't understand at the time. Chilling stuff.
31:30 the teenager wacking the doppelgänger had Nicki so excited and Steven so disturbed 😭
The sick thing about this is she chose who to be with and had a baby, the real one had no say in it or her birth and she had to endure giving birth to a monster, that's what I took from her saying it was like she was being tested by God in there first encounter as adults
“Hasn’t it been 17 minutes now, where are the cops??” Well if you think about it, within that time frame the tethered probably got to their units and killed them before any patrol cars could arrive. 😬
Right?? Like there's chaos everywhere 😬
The underground tethered police most likely killed the above ground police. That's how both families went. They tried to kill their doppelganger.
This movie is amazing. The concept of you being your worst enemy. 10/10
Unrelated but Did you enjoy this more than Get Out?
It’s not really about you being your own worst enemy. It’s about the fact that for everyone living comfortably in privilege there is someone living in slavery/torture/abuse/poverty.
@@Ericairline This movie has many themes and messages, why are you trying to ruin it by thinking it's just one thing?
@@_ripVanWinkle_ nah, get out is the best from Jordan, us I will say is the second one and nope last one
@@Joloki You still have to count CANDYMAN too. Even though he didn't direct it, he wrote it and produced it.
So glad y’all watched this one! It’s got a very interesting take on classism. Jordan Peele is a master in abstract social commentary
Jordan Peele is one the best contemporary directors and his casting choices are phenomenal. This is my favorite from him so far, because it's such a layered film. Lupita was robbed during award season, because she gave easily one of the best performances I've seen in a long time.
I happen to find this movie more sad than horrifying and it's difficult to rewatch it.
In the final scenes when "Adelaide" kills Red, this should be a moment of triumph. She's bested the beast. However, when Red starts calling back to a tune from her childhood, it's so sad.
Yes, what "Adelaide" did was wrong by usurping Reds position in the upper world. But it's totally understandable as to why she would see it as her only option. She lived the beginning or her life in abject misery and the opportunity to crawl out of it would be difficult for anyone to not jump at. Yet, Red was right; "Adelaide" did not have to take her place. They could've emerged into the upper worlds together and they both would have benefitted. But sometimes, that seems more difficult than standing on someone else's back to emerge victorious.
Good movie.
(Also! I love that Thriller gave someone else nightmares lol it also gave me a lifetime fear of zombies, thanks Michael!)
That moment when Michael turns around with the gold eyes. I remember being in the house alone when that scene came on and I ran outside to my parents cause the laugh scared the shit out of me lmao
So agreed!
damn I didn't even think about that part. It is much adder now because its true. We live in a crabs in a bucket, dog eat dog world. Where people think their only option is to defeat or betray the next person to get to a better place when really if we took the time to cooperate, we could all make it.
Not understandable at all. The most heartbreaking scene actually addresses that, when “Red” says to Addy, “you could have taken me with you.”
I love Jordan due to how inspiring it is to see someone able to make original script successful, does not seem to happen a whole lot these days. Then the way he works in visuals and music to build an atmosphere is very unique.
honestly. his work is very different in a good way.
I like how this is like a nice family film before everything goes down
Take a drink every time Nikki says “bitch” lol! I love it.
Say goodbye to your liver.😉
Or slaps Steven repeatedly in the arm.
A hangover from the Breaking Bad reactions lol
This movie felt like a full hour twilight zone episode and I absolutely love the hell out of it. It gave me a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time from a horror movie.
My favorite moment is still “Ophelia call the police! Sure, playing..” 😂 the music and combination of horror and comedy was crazy. The performances by everyone, basically every person playing dual roles, were fantastic. It’s not my favorite from Peele, the underground science project was kinda opaque, but still a great movie overall
Clearly Nikki is so stoked to watch Nope because she mentioned it a whole bunch during this movie! ;) LOL
While this movie is a lot more vague with its points on class and with the answers it provides to the actual mystery than Get Out was, the EMOTIONS this film evokes are something that’s really special. I remember looking back on the feelings I felt during the home invasion scene, the sit down, the reveal of the plan, the AMAZING “I Got 5 on It” fight scene, and the final scene in the car, and knowing this movie is messier but in it’s abstractness it just sucks you in all the more. Solid follow up from Jordan Peele, can’t wait to see Nope!
Nope was his best one so far, loved it
@@simonriley4131 I liked Nope!! It's not entirely my favorite of the 3 right now (I honestly need to rewatch it) It's a little slower but that doesn't bother me in movies. While watching it, I thought "some people might not like this" but I overall liked it. I really don't know how to describe this but I wish it had a little bit more fullness in the movie. That probably won't make any sense though lol
I DIED 😂😂😂😂😂 when Steve said 'worst playdate ever'. This was just as good as Get Out. Amazing movies.
You missed the pun. "It's not a song about drugs, it's a DOPE song." 😂
The boy was also switched during the fire at grandmom's house. The twins thought he was weird. He had no rhythm (like the switched mom) yet the jumpsuit one did? Dad comments on son's new vocabulary (maybe learned from switched mom). The jumpsuit son's face is burned up as if he was in a house fire, he actually knows how to use a lighter while the other struggles. jumpsuit mom grunts and clicks to her family members yet speaks words to jumpsuit son and also jumpsuit mom was quick to grab the other son and bring him back to the underground.
“Let’s go with the geode”
I laughed so hard my dogs had to check that I was okay
🤣
In a perfect world,Lupita as "Red" deserved the Oscar. She even said that when she was "Red" not even the crew members dared to look or talk to her.
Just to make it clear,the kids are unique,they are a mix between both worlds. The ones from down under have the skills,the ones from above can control their shadows. That's why you can see the "red" girl running faster and also the "normal"boy leading his shadow to fire.
My interpretation is that the raspy voice of Adelaide isn't from the choking, but from spending a couple of years as a kid screaming.
It’s actually the opposite haha. It’s from years of not talking. They spent years mirroring the people above them.
@@kiras.5404 LOL, you missed like the key twist of the movie. The tunnel-Adelaide girl took the normal world-Adelaide's place in the first scene (but we're not shown that until the end). That's why tunnel-Adelaide, who was now with the normal world parents, didn't speak at first. But eventually she learned, she adapted, and her memories of early child-hood (as it would be for a 5-6 year old) faded away as she was brought up in basically a normal family.
The normal world-Adelaide, however, was brought from a (still let's call it normal) family, and put into a hell hole, chained up, surrounded by seemingly crazy people, and with the psychic connection to the tunnel-Adelaide now living her life, realizing what she was missing out on throughout the years.. yes, I say she spent several years just screaming.
its because she was choked and perfectly damaged her vocal chords
As for the larger meaning behind those bunnies: "The animals in my story represent this battle between science and religion," Peele says. "I tend to like to explore the gray area where religion and magic and the unexplainable meet science. Between the two you have an abomination, a metaphor for humanity."
So just to blow your mind even more, Jordan Peele likes to put things in there that he wants you to figure out without the movie ever telling you. In this movie, it's that fact that the son is also a tethered. Remember that he always snaps his fingers in reverse. They said he was "never the same since that incident". The son loved playing with fire, and he burned the house up back then. That's the incident that they're talking about and remember the other sons FACE WAS BURNED UP. The mom switched the sons after that incident. Why do you think he didn't say anything about her being a tethered at the end. The mask he wears is a form of symbolism in the movie, showcasing that he isn't who we think he is. And him putting it on at the end was poetic. There's more but I'd have to rewatch the movie to bring up more of the evidence of him being a tethered
I agree most people don't pick this up but it's actually pretty obvious.
When he makes the burned face kid walk into the fire it doesn't make sense to the audience at that point in time. Then you learn in the final confrontation that the tethered control the people above ground. So once you get that bit of information it should click right away.
The thing is so much shit is going on at the end of this movie and everyone is so stunned they forget about the fire scene. Her reveal overshadows his.
You say that “He burned the house back then” when is back then?
He's not tethered, that doesn't make any sense. She is the only tethered, making her children half human-half tethers.
That last scene when the kid puts the mask on his face give me CHILLS
The random bonk sound effect at 36:06 actually got me.
One of my favourite ever films. Twist after twist and the final battle with the 5 on it piano score was incredible
For the son, the truth doesn't matter - SHE is is mom. He never knew the "original". The "original" was a stranger to him. Zero relationship between them.
I'd highly recommend watching "Us Ending Explained" as there's a tonne of stuff even the most eagle eyed viewer misses on the first viewing. I don't normally like to see someone explain a film but this really does add to the experience
I'm such a helicopter parent when I'm out with my kids. My daughter once started to run through a crowded restaurant at Disney because she wanted to get to my wife who was in the bathroom. I completely lost my shit. The scariest feeling in the world thinking your child has disappeared.
Same here
The ending scene with the Mother driving and the son in the passenger seat is great acting. They look at each other, terrified because the son is thinking “is this my mom” and mom is thinking “is this my son”. He pulls his mask down and she looks forward because each one knows, if they say anything, they might find out that one of the other is not real. It’s best for them not to know and always have that suspicion in their minds.
"It’s best for them not to know and always have that suspicion in their minds."--- interesting supposition, but what kind of life would that be? Especially in the long run
@@JITKanno0 probably not a good one, living with fear and doubt. But that is the psychological part of the horror film. After they look at each other, they look forward, signifying that they can accept this doubt as long as they are together. “Us.”
@@eddietucker7005 I understand the son's concern. But how can the mom think, "is this my son?" The tethered version of her son died in front of her. In fact all the copies of her family died in front of her. The real son got kidnapped, she went down and rescued him. Did I miss something?
@@amusingwordplay7298 the son and the tethered son may have been switched at several moments in the film. But when the “son” got out of the car, put his arms out and walked backwards, the other son mimicked him into the fire. Notice the mother screaming “No” because she didn’t know which one was her real son as he was backing up into the fire. The tethered wanted to kill their their counterpart. Were they switched earlier? It could have happened while they were in the closet together. There were several opportunities. But him looking at her with suspicion and then slowly pulls down his mask, without talking, is very significant. That’s part of the horror aspect. You don’t know and neither the son or the mother know. It’s confusing, yes, but that’s part of the genius.
Interesting comment that I don't disagree with from the son's point of view, but the tethered son not only burned in the fire - but also has the bottom half of his face badly burned.
Im glad you could appreciate how good this movie was. I liked all 3 Jordan Peele movies and this one gets alot of slack compared to Get Out. Not too many people appreciate how good this movie was written and directed. But above all the acting was soooo good.
The biggest critic I saw was that it was playing more on scares and horror elements than Get Out. Apparently it's "the easy way" while they think Get Out was "way better" cause it didn't rely on those things.
I don't see why that bothers some people, but it does. I'm not among them. I love all Peele's movies. They're all awesome despite being different.
This movie was SO good, I kept forgetting the actors were playing 2 roles.
I remember seeing this movie and wondering if I was going to have nightmares. Thankfully I didn't, so I went back to see it 3 more times. All 4 times the "voice" sent chills down my spine. Thanks for adding this to your list and it looks like you got into it as much as I did!
17:47
“We’re never going anywhere. Ever.”
Is the type of relationship I want 🥺
"Ophelia, call the police."
"Playing 'Fuck Tha Police' by NWA."
I like to think that "Ophelia" heard it correctly but decided to be a smartass and not be just a tool for humans. The idea of AI becoming aware and developing the capacity to be sarcastic and screw with people intentionally is really funny to me.
Ngl I’ve seen this movie about 9 times in theaters. I was having a very difficult time in my life (was raped), and all I wanted to do was go watch this move over and over and over. I know that this usually isn’t considered JP’s best work, but for me, it’ll always hold a special place in my heart. The final fight scene with Adelaide and Red is forever seared in my memory.
im so sorry. i hope ur okay now.
Remember Jordan Peele came from Mad TV, to Key & Peele to a now renowned Director. When I first saw him in Mad TV I would never have known that he would not only be a comedic genius but also for the dark undertone as a great director one day. And still at a relatively young age
So glad you enjoyed this movie! Curious to see what you think of NOPE, personally I loved it!
I thought NOPE was brilliant. Many who were disappointed were expecting a horror film. It’s a sci-fi movie wrapped in a horror short.
I just watched it the other day i loved it. I havent stopped thinking about the Gordy scenes.
Nope is a huge decline from Get Out and Us. Not bad, but nowhere near the same quality. Not even close.
@@smiffy68 I personally think it’s better than us, and far more cinematic than Get Out. But to each their own
@@jking4973 this is my thoughts exactly lol
Omg "whack her! harder!" Nikki you are hilarious!
The twist of Addy being the tethered, "Red" shook me! I also remember when there was discourse about the son also being the tethered too but idk if that was confirmed. Although I like full conclusions in movies, I am sometimes okay with just having theories of what happened. What could have come right after they drove off? To the family? The whole world? So many theories.
"It feels complicated but it doesn't feel complicated" This. I love how conceptual Jordan Peele is. I think we see that best in NOPE
Things I love about Jordan Peele movies: 1) The symbolism/social commentary/plotlines 2) The acting 3) The music 4) The in-jokes where his movie titles are what we would yell at the screen (Get Out, Nope (when Nikki would say "nope... hell naw..." I was thinking "no, that's his third movie!"). We used to sing "I got 5 on it" down the halls in high school, and I went to college in Santa Cruz, so this movie brought back some fond memories but also messed up my young adulthood.
When someone says to me "What do you say" after offering something, I say "Thankyou Alfred". Like Bruce Wayne.😁
Fun fact: Winston Duke and Lupita Nyong’o both met and graduated from Yale University, were they became friends and frequent academic collaborators. They said they were both “dorks”.
If you enjoyed this movie I highly recommend the 2009 movie Orphan with Isabelle Fuhrman & Vera Farmiga (from the Conjuring) they just released the prequel Orphan First Kill which is just as insane as the first 💕
I watched it at the theater when it came out, at night. I loved it and I wasn’t scared but trust me every time I was seeing someone wearing red, I walked so fast lmaooo
I like how Jordan had red be the only one speak out of the bunch because it showed the the life after she switched with the adelaide and it had me sympathize because she was just an innocent girl who had to adapt to a world where it was unnatural for her to be in and so I understood that she wanted to take over the world and and kill all the original people.
As someone from Santa Cruz, and who used to work at the amusement park there, this movie was WILD to see in theaters!
I'll bet 😆 lmao
Quote of the day:
“Hell yeah get that fuckin’ amethyst, let’s gooo with the geooode.”
- Nikki
If you pay attention, you'll notice that during the final battle Red is way more physically capable than Adelaide - who, as she grows increasingly frustrated by this, starts becoming more animalistic. That's intended to show their true origins.
The tethered have less motor function skill than the humans above. Red can run circles around Adelaide because she's the "real one". And even in her final moments, she taunts her by whistling at her - something the tethered aren't capable of. That's her way of reminding her that SHE's the real one.
My roommate was Winston Duke’s body double for this movie. Can confirm, he is a wall of a man.
At first i didn't notice Addy growl when she killed the Tettered, then the scene with her son make sense now.
i’m from santa cruz and i’ve been going to that board walk ever since i was a kid, but after seeing this movie i was CONVINCED that i had an evil copy living in the ground every time ive gone back there
Yes Nikki, you were right! At the beginning the white rabbits were about human experimentation!
She usually is
A couple of years before this movie was even advertised, my town's tourism bureau had a billboard with a cartoon family heading to the beach. The family perfectly matched this family, right down to the father's beard and the color of the mother's hat.
It’s crazy thinking our main character who we trust was from the underground the whole time
I absolutely love watching your reactions during my lunch breaks at work. You two are so entertaining!
15:38 OMG 🤣 Also, if my kid ever said "There's a family in our driveway." Just after the power goes out, Idk how I'd react. I don't rule out the possibility that I'd send my family outside and lock myself in a room with no windows.
RIP Steven's arm! I love this movie. Love your reaction as always. Much love!!
Jordan Peele is the new M. Night Shyamalan. “Nope” was also a trippy movie! All 3 movies Jordan has made now are so good!
4:00 She brings up a great point. Jordan Peele doesn't make films with scenes that aren't packed with hidden meaning.
My 20 yrs old son & I were in shocked & shook. For a day & a half it was all wtf just happened & we loved it!
I love how so many horror movies have that "Villain attacks characters from atop a moving vehicle" scene.
Lol I love watching Nikki be scared 😂
Facts about US:
1. Lupita's tethered version creepy voice was voiced by Peele himself because in the bts, Peele voice her mix of her voice to make something creepy. Peele also cameos his own movies like the injured deer in Get Out and the dying rabbit in Us.
2. The Bible verse about Jeremiah 11:11 is important because in the Bible, Jeremiah warn people about their sins and God will come to punish them or do something terrible heading their way to all the sinners. Like Red the tethered Addy believes herself to be chosen by God to lead the Untethering.
3. Spoiler: the ending is way creepier because both Addy and Red switch places when they were children so Addy is the real Tethered doppelganger and Red is the real Addy. The hands across America stuff is metaphor of a commentary on race, gender, class and mental illness.
My recently deceased wife loved this movie. She never got tired of it. Some parts have a real wicked humor in them, like the friend’s house & the music playing, and the dad being a nerd with the boat.
“WE ARE NEVER GOING ANYWHERE EVER.” 😂 Same, Nikki. Same.
On a fun cultural note, I actually have a picture of me and my mom and a family friend at the Hands Across America event. It happened on my second birthday (May 25th 1986), so I had to stretch really far to reach their grownup hands lol We lived in southern California back then.
When I figured out the twist at the end I was like wooaahhh 👏 👏 she wasn't the original girl allll that time, very good twist
I ALWAYS enjoy your reactions so much! You both are entertaining but always provide great insight and commentary from your point of view! Thank you❤
I CANNOT WAIT for y'all to watch Nope!!! Its SO GOOD, I dare even say it's my favorite Peele film so far. The sound design, the cinematography, the way he's able to FLAWLESSLY weave comedy throughout......it's EXCELLENT!! I saw it a few times in Dolby and have already watched it 3 times at home and it just doesn't get old. In fact, it gets better with every viewing! This was a lot of fun to watch again with y'all. Some weren't as into Us as Get Out but like you, I was a big fan of Us as well. You're so right, the acting was superb! Looking forward to the next movie night, it's always such a good time🤘🏻
I had to look for this after watching your reaction to 'Get Out' ♥️
Jordan Peele is so incredible at making such fun, insane, mind boggling and unique movies and stories!! Cant wait for you to watch Nope!
Nikki, I loved your reactions in this. It made the experience so fun! Thanks
LOL Loved how many times you both said NOPE! during this reaction
CANT WAIT, till yall get to nope!!! It is my personal favorite of peele’s work.
Same! I loved Nope too much! :)
Same, I love it
When you talked about Target, it feels was like yesterday. My daughter did the same thing, 5 seconds she ran 5 aisles away and turned. Did a complete Batman I tell you! Even though we found her just fine, I wouldn't wish that feeling upon any parent not even of 10 seconds. It sticks with you for the rest of your life.
I LOVE you guys’ reaction to this; you all appreciating the elitism in the level of acting..can you imagine playing this PARTT?! Two partttts?? Like cmon!! And for it to be a somewhat original plot as well?! Amazing!
Ms. NIKKI…you give me LIFE with your facials and expressions 😂😂😂 Steven…you get it 🤔 🗣 ☝🏽! THAT, sir, I appreciate! Y’all keep comin with this HEAT! 🔥
I’ve never been this early, and just wanted to say how much I appreciate your energy ❤️ entertaining, but also good vibes at all times
This is one of my favorite scary movies….it’s concept and the way it’s directed, made the whole movie suspenseful
This is easily my favorite jordan Peele movie. So much to dissect and think about after it’s over.
I love this Film!!! The twist gets more and more intriguing each time I watch it.
You can’t do that Face/Off quote without the hand motions 😂
Great reaction, guys! We all should have learned our lesson about vacationing in Santa Cruz, from The Lost Boys! 😉
"What are you?" "we're Americans".... US vs THEM. The HAVES vs HAVE NOTS. That's the basis of the story. It's about class in society.
So glad you got it. So many commentators didn't get it. It's a basic commentary on class and privilege.
The way you guys communicate outside of movie commentary is amazing😢❤
5:04 your dab made me giggle 😂
