What’s happening, spooky folk? This week on the podcast, I welcome back Rikki Tikki Timber to break down Jordan Peele’s psychological horror film Get Out. 

We explore how Peele uses suspense, dark humor, and disturbing visuals to highlight themes of racism, identity erasure, and control. From the unforgettable “Sunken Place” scene to the coded language of liberal hypocrisy at the Armitage family’s dinner party, we dissect the film’s layered metaphors and social commentary. 

We also examine key characters like Chris, Rose, and Rod, and how their roles reflect broader societal dynamics. Together, we dive into the symbolism behind the mysterious "Behold the Coagula" and the Death Cheetah vs. Matter poster in Chris's apartment—unpacking how they enrich the narrative’s deeper messages. 

Plus, we discuss the film’s original, darker ending and why Jordan Peele chose to give audiences a rare moment of triumph. This episode is meant to be a tense, thoughtful, and sometimes uncomfortable conversation, but it’s Rikki and I, so we got jokes that are probably not ok.
