1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: We've just talked about six differently.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: Talking we do some of our best way before the

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: mis then I should have recorded it doing great.

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: But specifically you're talking about the new Jordan Peele movie Nope.

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: Yes, so much like that. But before we get into Nope,

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: I think it's important to just do a very brief

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: deep dive into Jordan Peele, right, because I come across

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: this all the time, talk to people about his movies

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 2: and this this upcoming Nope film, and people say, do

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: you know what, I haven't really watched any of Jordan

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: Peele's movies. I'm not into horror movies, right, very common

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: thing that people say about this particular director. He was,

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: of course one half of the sketch comedy duo Key

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: and Peel if you remember from TV back in the day,

15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: kind of you know, like they had as many fart

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: jokes as kind of social satire, so it wasn't exactly

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: high brow comedy. And so he's gone from that to

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: a base of now this is his third movie, like he's,

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: you know, the modern day Alfred Hitchcock. Yeah, he is

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: a true or tour. He's won an Oscar for Best

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: Original screen Play for his first movie, get Out, and

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: people looked at that and thought, Okay, that's a horror movie.

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: And he himself calls himself a horror director, which is

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: part of the problem, right, But there's so much more

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: to it, Like that film was nominated for the Academy

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: Award for Best Picture, which just doesn't happen for horror movies.

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: It just doesn't happen pretty. And so it's not Halloween,

28
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: it's not a slasher. There's not a lot of blood

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: and guards. If anything, if you have to label it,

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: you'd call it, you know, an art house movie that

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: occasionally makes you pack your backs. It's pretty disturbing times,

32
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: isn't it. It's disturbing. It's scripture unsettling, right, and it

33
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: makes a lot of social commentary. And that's the thing

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: with Jordan Peel movies. There's really complex themes. There's like,

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: you know, identity, privilege, race relations, all that sort of

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: stuff going on hidden underneath a layer of like jump

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: scares and things like that creepy woman from the High Help. Yeah,

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: And then a couple of years later he released Us,

39
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: which also was a great movie, did really well, and

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: like these movies had made combined seven hundred and twenty

41
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: million dollars against a budget of about thirty million dollars.

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: So you can see why Universal Pictures said, Wow, hey, Jordan,

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: why don't we give you the biggest budget that you've

44
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: ever had, and why don't we make a massive IMAX

45
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: blockbuster movie, which is kind of the starting point for Nope.

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: And so he's thought, Okay, where am I going to?

47
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: Where am I going to take this? And so like

48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: it's probably more like, you know, sort of the paranoia

49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: of a nineteen fifties UFO Flying Saucer movie crossed with

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: Japanese anime than it is a horror movie. This film

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: is bonkers, and I'll try not to give too much

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: away because i think one of the joys of the

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: film is actually experiencing it for yourself. I'm not a

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: big believer in like no spoilers and all that sort

55
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: of stuff, but in this case, I think it makes sense.

56
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: But essentially, it's about these two siblings played by Daniel Collier,

57
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: who was of course in Get Out and won an

58
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: Oscar for Judas and the Black Messiah not that long ago,

59
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: and Kiki Palma and so their brother and sisters who

60
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: have to try and save the family ranch in kind

61
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: of like regional California, and also the family business training

62
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: horses for Hollywood movies. So it's kind of like very

63
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: much you know, appointed kind of commentary on Hollywood and

64
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: how it treats below the line crew. And so their

65
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: dad dies in mysterious circumstances at the start of the film,

66
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: and so they have to try and do what they

67
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: can to save the ranch, and they come up with

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: this plan. They've noticed this weird atmospheric phenomenon like just

69
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: kind of hanging around near the ranch because it's kind

70
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: of like big Sky country, and so they think, you

71
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: know what, We're going to capture this thing on film,

72
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: sell it to the highest bidder online, and we'll make

73
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: some money to save the ranch. So pretty basic kind

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: of set up. But then what happens next just like

75
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: adds layer and layer of kind of intense drama and

76
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: I guess, you know, fear as well. And there are

77
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: some moments like all Jordan Peele movies where like he

78
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: really challenges the viewer to just keep your eyes glued

79
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: to the screen because you're going, I can't watch this,

80
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: you know, like you put your hand up above your eyes.

81
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't continue to watch his work is

82
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: down there. Yeah, it's so tense some of these scenes.

83
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: And so you've got you've got Daniel Kluia Kiki Palmer,

84
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: who are great, very different energies on screen. Kalulia is

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: like this stoic dude and the idea of the film

86
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: basically comes from him, Like he'll come across a scenario

87
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: where you know, it's starting to get pretty scary, and

88
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 2: like in a normal kind of horror movie or scary movie,

89
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: you know, it'd be the character he's a noise in

90
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: the basement, they walk down the stairs and they get there,

91
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: you know, they get their head chopped up. Whereas he

92
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: responds by just going nope and just walks in the

93
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: other direction. And that's the whole thing in a sense

94
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: in horror movies. Yeah, which is what Jordan Peel is

95
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: all about. Like he wants to have characters that are

96
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: actually intelligent and behave the way any of us would

97
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: behave and run away from danger instead of towards the

98
00:04:59,680 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: girl go.

99
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: T shirt.

100
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly so. And you've also got Steven Ewan, who

101
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: makes a great cameo in this film, who we saw

102
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: him in Manara. He was Roscar nominated. He plays a

103
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: former child actor who back in the day endured like

104
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: a real kind of like gut churning trauma. Uh, and

105
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: then has now turned into you know, sort of a

106
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: very different style of character. And so you've got a

107
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: few things going on there. The cinematographer is the guy

108
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: who did Interstellar and Dunkirk. So looks beautiful, like it

109
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 2: looks stunny and shot in imax, like see it on

110
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: a massive screen. It's crazy. And then you've got this.

111
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: A couple of the performances maybe don't live up to

112
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: those three actors, but you can kind of forgive it

113
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: because the climax of this movie is so insane. Like

114
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: even if I wanted to give you every spoiler and

115
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: tell you what it was like, I don't have the

116
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: words to justice. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it.

117
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: Like I've never seen c g I this imaginative, like

118
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: the textures, the concepts, like it is literally out of

119
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: this world. It sounds very cool.

120
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean I didn't love get Out, but

121
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: you've sold me on this. What do you what are

122
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: you how many yesters are you giving notes?

123
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: I'm giving this one four and a half four and

124
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: a half half so you could see the big budget

125
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: on this one. Yeah, that's awesome. Thanks man Thanks guys,

126
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: Thanks Mane
