I love that the park ranger "invited to the cookout" was Dietrich Bader, who played the white guy Aunt Janice married on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air! Especially since they had to answer a Fresh Prince question at one point lol.

[@jackdavids2723]

yeah he's one of the most underrated comedy actors, he always play secondary roles or minor roles but he always brings his A-game to it. He once played a gay concubine on a movie called Balls of Fury, I had a crush on him then, still do.

[@KB-90]

Brandy surviving I Still Know What You Did Last Summer was ICONIC 💅🏿 Especially since it came out after Scream 2 killed Jada in the opening. Another one that comes to mind is LL Cool J in Halloween H20... although the real threat to him wasn't even Michael Myers, it was the trigger happy guidance counselor Ms. Laurie Strode was banging 👀

[@introgeek5278]

If you have a quick little research trivia, the killer is revealed at the beginning simply by the Apple/android line since Apple don’t allow their products in the movie if the villain is the one using the product but Android does

[@ImmortalBroken]

That's hilarious.

[@benign_canine3423]

I learned that from behind the scenes of Knives Out and couldn't be mad when that was absolutely the case here

[@PHSDM104]

That's some absolutely crazy info. 🤣

[@clarissa182]

I watched The Blackening last weekend. I was dying laughing. It was so good. I called the killer early because, why are you here, Clifton?! 😂 I thought the cast was outstanding! I loved every single person. If I had to do that quiz alone, I would have been d-e-a-d! With the Friends question, I was like, "I thought Aisha was the only black person to appear on Friends. Ah, who cares. I was watching Living Single." When that was the answer, I cackled!

[@ButterfliLoe1380]

The slap that Clifton gave King had me on the floor. I have no idea why it tickles me so

[@sagittarius420cheefie]

I literally said that I watched Living Single and then.......the answer was the same.😂 Friends just wasn't my cup of tea. I seen a few episodes and they were ok, like I wasn't mad at it but, it still just didn't hit like Living Single did.

[@MsTrueTy]

​​​​@@ButterfliLoe1380I mad my answer was I didn't watch that show 😂. And yes Clifton as soon as he came on the screen I said "Nope not doing this; Him! I can see it! I don't trust him! He gotta go!" 😂

Living Single was set in Brooklyn, while Friends was set in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, which is over 80% white.

[@Yeaster]

This movie had me cracking up from start to finish. I also like the point it was making about how we, as a community, tend to quantify Blackness and the effects that can have on people

[@bdink2605]

“Why is the killer so scary?” Now girl 😂😂

[@allisonhunter1063]

9:14, so true. My aunt's ex was abusive during their marriage and they divorced. Now they're really close friends with a great friendship but I STILL have a hard time forgiving him even though SHE HAS and she's asked me "If I've gotten over it and it happened to me, why can't you?" and I told her "Because you're my aunt and I can't imagine not meeting you bc of him." (My Mom says her sister got the divorce when I was just a few months old, so I wouldn't have remembered her had he unalived her at that age for me).

[@LilienNacht]

Also its easy to forgive someone for things they did to you because most people dont value themselves that much. But to someone you love? I will fuckin carry that hate to the grave. How dare they

[@allisonhunter1063]

@emanon0229 Yup, so true. Even when I got into an abusive relationship RIGHT after my Grandpa died, everyone was trying to talk some sense into me, but the ONLY voice I heard was that same aunt. She said, "D (my nephew, who is now 12, almost 13, who was around 18 months at the time) is still a baby. He LOVES his auntie. He LOVES you. If you stay with Corey (fuck him, name dropped), there may come a day where things get the worst they ever could, and I'm afraid that D is so young, he won't remember you." THAT snapped me TF out of it, and I dumped Corey.

[@Shyknit]

This movie really was for us and the relatability and it's also been cool seeing other people's reactions as well. I saw one reactor that actually thought they were telepathically communicating lol, it's been great

[@ericirwin98]

i saw this in theaters twice with two different friend groups and 4 of them were straight white men who just DID NOT GET IT. this movie was right up my alley. i was looking forward to this SO much and i thoroughly enjoyed it. this is my humor. this was one of my most anticipated movies of the year & it did not disappoint. i’m glad you enjoyed it as much as i did but this is one that i wish you got to experience in theaters on opening night, trust me the audience (my friends aside) did not disappoint.

[@richardperez7205]

This movie was so good, a really great theater experience with a crowd. Super funny, I hope we see more from everyone because they all crushed it. Another great reaction! If it’s not too soon to jump into the Ari Aster well again, I hope you watch Midsommar before the summer is over! I will say Hereditary to me is much more viscerally scary, but still. Get ready to GAG, in more ways than one.

[@bklynkat23]

„all lives matter 😐“ took me tf out 😭😭

[@Jage24]

Your reaction brought me so much joy! One thing I loved about this movie is how it asks the question of “If we have an all Black cast in a horror movie, who dies first” and ultimately it subverts the very question it asks by letting all the main cast live. It felt so refreshing and a true subversion of the trope that Black characters all die in horror films. I can’t even remember the last time an all white cast all lived so this just shows how powerful Black folk are. Loved this film so much! ❤️

This movie was actually a Comedy Central short by the same name, my guess on why they kept the name was for people like me to insta recognize it and watch to watch a full length film because of how hilarious the short was. The tag line is a better title but for me personally I don’t know if I would’ve watched it right away because I just don’t watch trailers or movies in theaters all that often so it wouldn’t have popped out to me as something I recognize
