The digestion scene has to be one of the most amazing yet horrifying thing I have ever seen. The screams of the people and the claustrophobic feel, the horrible smell, being stuck in that situation for hours. I genuinely thought it was an actual UFO, so it really took me by surprise.

The twist of “what if it’s not a ship” was BRILLIANT.

[@KT-zm1qw]

Jupe was suffering from PTSD, and if you look at the alien costumes his kids were wearing it goes back to the monkey incident. When they are panning on the Jupe set you see the cameras lined up. The sides look like the eyes on the costume. Jupe never learned from this tragic event, so he thought he could work with this animal, and learned the hard way. The shoe was the spectacle. The entire movie showed you not to directly look in the eyes of an animal. When the chimp came out of the kitchen Jupe was looking at the shoe, and also looking through the table cloth. He was crouched in a submissive posture and was non threatening, which allowed the chimp to come back to its senses. Sorry for the long winded comment. One last thing, I think the alien changes shapes to try to get you to look at it so it could eat you.

[@sonnysmith3244]

I think it’s more likely it isn’t an alien and it expands as a territorial display to ward off threats or other Jean Jackets.

[@JoshSweetvale]

The jellyfish doesn't have to look at you to eat you, not _quite._ Otherwise, it wouldn't have eaten the plastic horse. Its unfurled form is definitely like a pufferfish puffing up or a bear standing on its hind legs - or an ape or human screaming. A threat display.

[@northwind2538]

I definitely saw the expansion of the creature as its ultimate intimidation technique. It easily could've sucked them all up as the sombrero but it saw OJ as a threat and needed to respond accordingly.

[@KT-zm1qw]

@@northwind2538 oooh never thought about it this way. Yes! Because OJ said Jean Jacket saw this as his territory so it was displaying dominance.

When Jean Jacket sucked up Angel, the barbed wire hurt it. I think that prompted the metamorphosis.

[@ThePhoenixThatRose]

I was reading somewhere that the reason Jean Jacket changed shape was because it considered them an official threat. So it changed into it's bigger and more intimidating form.

[@ThePhoenixThatRose]

@@SuzakuX hmm that could also be true.

You are correct. The barbed wire hurt it so it got pissed off and put on a giant threat display. The green flaps around its eye are kinda like those frills that some lizards have around their necks.

The entire chimp rampage scene may or may not be based on a real-life event involving a chimpanzee named Travis who was raised around humans since birth. Like Gordy, Travis was an animal actor who appeared in commercials and a few TV shows. Despite Travis’s socialization around humans, he ended up brutally mauling a woman, and was shot and killed by a police officer. The woman attacked by Travis needed 7 hours of surgery to fix her face and hands, but she was left permanently blind.

[@fallingawayfromthenorm]

It definitely was inspired by it in some ways, one very noticeable one I immediately caught in the trailer was the way that Mary Jo Elliot covered her face with a veil and a hat, the same choice of face covering was chosen by the woman who was attacked by Travis the chimp when she had an interview with Oprah sometime after the attack.

[@Happofusagarii]

[@ChaosMarine9118]

The evolution of Jean Jacket at the end does a couple of things… For one, it’s a “dance” of sorts to get its prey to be fixated on it. It’s prey can’t help but be drawn in and look directly at it’s weird shape. Also, it’s “eye” resembles a hybrid of film and digital camera sensor. It’s flashing “whips” almost make me feel like it’s capturing images of what it’s looking at. Fantastic creature concept that further illustrates the themes of the movie.

While I wasn’t necessarily scared watching this movie, I felt a ton of dread and deep uneasiness and I love when a movie can make me anxious in the best way. The scenes with Gordy and when Jean Jacket eats all the people from Jupe’s show left me thoroughly disturbed. For days after watching the movie it was all I could think about. I think it has definitely made its way into my favorite’s list.

[@horrorcide13]

The digestion scene was by far the CREEPIEST shit I've seen in a while. Especially the screams echoing in the sky during the night. Those people were stuck in Jean Jacket for HOURS, slowly being digested and crushed. And you can hear a child call for their "mommy" during the initial swallowing scene where it zooms on all the people being sucked up the esophagus. So unnerving and something I won't forget anytime soon. Also, right at the beginning of the movie, the radio mentioned how some hikers went missing before. That is who you actually hear screaming right at the beginning and whose stuff was being shot from the sky, initially killing the dad. First time watching it, I was like "Why does it sound like people screaming in the sky?" during that first scene. Whelp, didn't take long for me to figure out I wasn't imagining shit. Balloons are super bad around animals, whether it's startling chimps or killing giant sea-like aliens when they eat it. Good job seeing the UFO on the jacket, I noticed that first time too. A lot of reactors miss that! Even the logo behind the bleachers resemble the horses being sucked up by a "UFO" And NOPE stands for Not Of Planet Earth. So many hidden messages and layered meanings in this film, I recommend looking into them! My favorite Peele movie by FAR. Others were decent but find people overhype them too much. Loved your reaction!

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

Jordan Peele never confirmed that NOPE means Not Of Planet Earth. He said he never meant it to be an abbreviation & the title is derived from the feeling he was trying to evoke from the audience.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

Yeah, the sounds and visuals were something else

[@Riku-zv5dk]

@@st1nkydan My tips for someone starting would be: Get an idea that you're comfortable and stick with it, something you can focus on and just go with it. Write what you know, if you're lacking inspiration use the people and things in your life, past and present, as a basis for your initial ideas, a familiar basis will do more for you than any idea. If you're coming up short with information, don't be afraid to research, whether it is poring over books of information, watching or reading something to see how they did it, learn from others. Don't be afraid, or rather, don't let fear control you. A lot of new writers start off scared, scared of not being original, scared of making mistakes, and scared of being bad. These are normal fears, but these are also things a writer will experience, you will make mistakes, you will probably have a dud or two, and you will probably have similarities to other work. This is all normal, but you learn by doing, it's like walking, you trip the first few times, but eventually you will be able to sprint. And finally, have fun. If your writing is draining and you're miserable doing it, it's probably not for you. There is no shame in that, it's not for everyone. And this goes for your ideas, if you have a fun silly idea, run with it, own it, if it is what you enjoy writing, then do it.

[@danwilliams2551]

So the big motif with this movie is "spectacle"/the things we do for entertainment, and the numerous bad ways that chasing down spectacle can end in disaster. The people who brought in a wild animal on a TV stage inevitably got people killed. The main cast are chasing down this giant monster that could easily get them killed. Jupe tries to give an audience a spectacle with Jean Jacket and gets 40 people killed. So there's a deep purposefulness to the fact that the way to survive an encounter with Jean Jacket is to NOT look at it.

[@stefanorafael7247]

Watching this movie made me think about two things: 1: You don’t have full control over animals, no matter how good you can pet them you always gotta have some respect for them. 2: I’ve always got taught that aliens are similar to humans ( two legs, two arms, two eyes and a mouth ) but never realize that we literally live in a world with multiples species of animals of completely different shapes and sizes… in other words if aliens really exist they might be from a more weird looking platypus to a gigantic jellyfish or any other thing that we never saw… why not?

@@stefanorafael7247 It either hides out in clouds or creates it own cloud. It also blacks out electrical signals, so there is no reason to think that satellites would be able to see it. Nor do satellites typically observe the sky around the satellite, they are pinpointed on places on the ground. Also, I think the implication is people have seen them before, hence the idea of flying saucers. I’m not sure where you got the water things from maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying. It wouldn’t live in the water it would live in the upper atmosphere, say 40,000 feet and above typically. That would also explain why it moves so quickly close to the ground, it would have had to evolve a super efficient mode of propulsion since the air is so thin at that altitude.

[@aubrey8673]

That digestion scene in theaters was one of the scariest, most terrifying things I’ve ever seen in a horror film. When that fake horse came cars through the OJ’s windshield I about jumped out of my skin. I can usually tell when a jump scare is coming, but let me tell you I was not expecting that. The sound editing of this movie is insane to hear in theaters. , It was such a creepy experience. Last thing I think in the end when it was transforming, I believe it was doing that to show dominance and trying to be threatening. A lot of animals will make themselves appear bigger to intimidate, potential predators or prey.

@@Bucslife31 It truly is just commentary on the exploitation of animals and was mirroring a real-life event.

Nice fan theory though.

[@MariMiniattL]

Saw this movie at a drive-in over the summer as part of a double feature. When the creature first reveals itself. Some strange lights appeared in the sky above the screen. I was too wrapped up in the movie to really pay attention, but it was causing some commotion. To the point after the movie, the announcer asked if anyone else had seen the lights. Everyone was talking about the lights at the concession stand. Turned out it was Space-X going overhead at the time. But it couldn't have been timed better.

[@BadassRaiden]

So apart from using known creatures like octopus and squid as inspiration for how the alien looked, the crew also took inspiration, with the help of biologists and cosmologists consulting on the movie - from what scientists imagine possible life may look like on Jupiter. Jupiter of course, is a gas giant with no actual surface, so any life that would hypothetically exist there would always be floating through the clouds, held there by heavy upwind. This explains the very parachute like features of the alien.

[@JoshSweetvale]

And Jupiter has a colossal magnetic field, so of _course_ it'd have a magnetic spout. When I saw this movie I also thought the jennyfish was native to a gas giant, and this individual one was just a stray.

He let you hear it, he let you see it before, but he didn't show you the death or the viscera beyond some blood. And yet, I didn't notice that watching because it was still so horrifying and beautifully done.

[@Allonsy305]

This was such a great commentary on exploitation and erasure, not just with people with animals. (The Haywoods never got their deserved big break). People on this earth can barely handle animals from here, there's 0 guarantee that we'd be able to handle something that wasn't. The chimp they used for Gordy's Home was never the same so they never established a real relationship and that incident that went so viral happened and Jupe never learned a lesson from those mistakes, and continued it with "Jean Jacket" until it was too late. Em and OJ know how to work with animals way better. (It even made itself bigger to grab more attention) And they made sure to get the "money shot" regardless.

[@okapibibi]

@@indigozulu9 Exactly. "I will cast abominable filth at you. Make you vile. And make you a spectacle." Looking up at Jean Jacket proved to be the demise of those who only sought the thrill of a show. The exploitation of actors, male and female, who suffered horribly for decades in Hollywood. The exploitation of animals. The exploitation of people of colour - black, asian, native americans - and then their erasure. The exploitation of people's suffering - the famous photograph of the starving Sudanese boy, by Kevin Carter, and the couple who lost their infant baby at sea, by Jack Gaunt. All a spectacle, even if sometimes macabre, but always something we as audience often find ourselves seeking for more. There are a lot of themes about this film. I think it's Peele's strongest yet, and my favourite film from him!

[@nox_tech_]

what's interesting to me is that this definitely lays the foundation for Em and OJ to make their own park like Jupe did - they could probably even use his property directly, since it was so fundamental to them killing JJ. But as for _if_ they actually would try to turn a profit from their JJ-induced trauma in the same way that Jupe did with Gordy, that's another matter. I'd think they'd at least have a bit more sense. Would they sell the footage, picture, and overall story, if possible? Yes. Would they make Jupe's whole park into a JJ-themed one? Nope.

[@alecLogan]

Additionally, Jean Jacket was intentionally crafted as a potential spinoff megalodon; a megafauna predator that just never died, and evolved in a strange way, much reminiscent of aliens/UFOs.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

A lot of the subtext is about how Hollywood uses animals (and child actors) for spectacle and discards them. The TMZ guy showing up just happens to have a helmet that is a mirror- showing only the reflection of those around him, but not the person underneath. Then there's Angel looking for something to fill the void he's got since his girlfriend dumped him and the dying cinematographer looking for that last validation on his life. So many interesting characters to focus on and distract from the big questions of WTF IS the creature and where did it come from. They made the cast so interesting that the creature is almost in the background.

[@ShadowArtist]

1) showing Gordi assault etc was about exploitation to make a spectacle, the chip didn't attack Jupe because he didn't look the chimp in the eyes, setting up a connection to Jean Jacket the Alien Creature 2) the shoe standing up is a "bad miracle" representing the phrase "waiting for the other shoe to drop", which didn't happened until Jupe, believing he was "blessed" was sucked up and eaten by Jean Jacket, which Jupe had fed some of the horses (he bought from the main character) Jupe had fed those horses to the Alien creature thinking he had a special "connection" with, he was wrong 3) the alien creature Jean Jacket swallowed the large Jupe ballon which it choked on and hurt it might of even killed it the movie is in part inspired by the movie JAWS

After Angel gets sucked in Jean Jacket, the barb wire hurts it. It gets angry and changes it form to intimidate. It's almost like how a dog will show it's teeth.

[@SaiyanHeretic]

This is easily my favorite Peele joint. Every time I watch it, I get more out of it. The Gordy storyline sets up how Jupe didn't learn an important lesson. As a child, he witnessed first hand what happens when you try to turn a wild animal into cheap entertainment. As an adult, he makes the same mistake with Jean Jacket. The shoe standing on end is an indication of how trauma distorts memory. (Also, note how the alien masks that his kids wear resemble the three studio cameras when seen in profile.) My favorite detail is how Antlers is seen reviewing stock footage of predators and prey in his editing bay. As Steven recognized, Antler's idea of the impossible shot is "what an animal sees when it is being eaten."

The pig left alive at Jupiter's claim is because pigs can't physicaly look up He couldn't look at Jean Jacket so he hasn't been sucked with the others Also, OJ put a hood on Lucky's head to hide his eyes from JJ's view

[@Horrorismyjam]

The shoe standing straight up is an example of a "bad miracle" like OJ was talking about

[@ItzCleverYouth]

The design for Jean jacket came from Evangelion an anime about aliens know as "angels" that come to destroy the planet. Jordan Peele is a huge fan of anime and horror so some of his projects are inspired by those stories and ideas.

[@monsterking1973]

Jordan Peele truly knows how to do horror

[@a_2502]

Absolutely loved this film in theaters! I was surprised as I try not to watch too much of trailers. I said NOPE 5 million times during it haha. I also remember when people were guessing NOPE stood for "Not of Planet Earth." Jordan is phenomenal

[@raptorprimal1077]

If anyone was wondering why Jean Jacket was changing shape at the end was because like a predator it is, it was putting on a threat display like some owls do i think. It put on the threatening display coz it felt threatened after angel hurt it with the barb wire and the main guy looked at it without showing fear

[@Doze1202]

Make sense. So, it was just trying to look like the bigger predator

[@ascendingGhost2501]

The filmmaker with the great voice is Michael Wincott, same guy who is the main villain in The Crow.

[@a.a677]

The perfect shoe represents the bad miracle phenomena that is a recurring theme throughout the movie

[@Thriscucker]

Next Jordan peel film titled “Nope, Get us out”

[@ev1Lsect]

If Nikki saw the great Planet of the Apes movies, she would never forget Chimpanzees are not monkeys, they are apes. One of the greatest trilogies

[@jamiefarrell6049]

Im so glad there people out there like Jordan Peele making this kind of movie. Different, imaginative, well executed. Just brilliant!

[@PeterPalmiotti]

I loved how the 'ship' looked like a cowboy hat from below.

[@pixadavid]

Nikki: "Is this something I can take the kids to?" - yeah, sure, fun for all the family. I hear they have a new attraction, the Star Lasso Experience. It's an absolute scectacle.

[@ryanfoster2869]

The blood rain was from Jean Jacket having indigestion from the plastic horse

[@samanthacroucherr]

Yesss I been waiting for you guys to react to this movie . I put it on without reading the description, it was definitely a ride

[@RobertMorgan]

I realize now that when I saw this in theaters, I was apparently so blazed I missed the part about Em stealing the horse from Jupiter's Claim, so the kids playing aliens in the barn I thought was just a random event until a rewatch lol.

[@RaptorNX01]

So, the design of Jean jacket was based around different things. 1) biblically accurate Angels. the angels in the bible weren't pretty boys with wings, but massive lovecraftian kaiju with horrific shapes, some being depicted covered in eyes (so could see you looking from any direction. also the Angels in the anime Evangelion were based on that too and was part of the inspiration here as well. 2) weather balloons. esp as they are unfurling. which are the default explanation skeptics give to hand wave away all UFO sightings. and 3) there is a theoretical space ship design called a Solar Sailing Ship. its a ship that uses huge, but incredibly light and delicate sails that can propel the ship thru space on the solar winds. infact, there is an episode of Star Trek Deep Space 9 where the main character Ben Sisko and son fly such a ship, called a Bajoran Light Ship, whose design is very reminiscent of JJ's design here.

[@do-ol2540]

I hope you guys react to The Terror (season one only!!) Because it has some of the best acting and music score in a tv show ever!!

[@CivilianSatellite]

6:03 Kind of. After the movie wrapped, the Jupiter's Claim set was picked up and moved to the Universal Studios backlot in Hollywood and is now a permanent spot on the tram tour.

[@asian-americanwithanopinio8954]

I saw this in the theater. That scene with them getting devoured by the alien was the best scene on the big screen in complete darkness.

[@MISTERBABAD00K]

The best explanation I have seen for the shoe standing on end is that it represents another "bad miracle." OJ asks if there is a word for a bad miracle when referring to what happened when he firsts encounters Jean Jacket.

[@marcusmcgill4423]

@Nikki & Steven React You have one more to go. "Candyman" (2021) was written and produced by Jordan Peele. It's the direct sequel to the original film.

[@andys8483]

This film was an incredible experience watching it on an IMAX screen with the amazing sound editing 👍 I look forward to his next project.

[@meggiejay]

The pig was on the roof & alive cuz pigs anatomy doesn’t allow it to fully look up. The pig would have to swivel his neck to get one eye up, so not on the Jacket’s radar

[@Iwoqvossik]

Jean Jacket was based on Old Testament angels. I think the implication is that these predators have existed on Earth throughout history.

[@davidmatheny1993]

With me and my wife's busy schedule plus a newborn and three year old, this was the one movie this year where I planned ahead to make a date night to see a movie.

[@bbash578]

Yea this, top gun, and the Batman were all movies I had to see opening weekend

[@believeinmatter]

this movie was crazy, really cool twist on the conventional alien flying saucer story 🛸

[@azm0dan1]

40:49 - that's the "Akira Slide" - look it up

[@WonderKRW]

Everyone: No don't do it, it's not a good idea. Steve: Don't stop twirling the camera!

[@PatternRecsc2]

My fave Jordan Peele movie. Can't wait to watch the reaction (edit: fixed typo)

[@QWEStudios]

28:32 "Boo!...No?" "Not today...OH SHIT"

[@Gantros]

Since you remarked on Antlers voice, he was the big bad Top Dollar in the original Crow movie, as well as the pirate captain in Alien Resurrection.

[@horrorcide13]

And the Sheriff's cousin in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. :P Love him and so happy to see him in something recent.

[@Gantros]

@@horrorcide13 Oh yeah, I forgot about that! He had good chemistry with Rickman's Sheriff.

[@MrCancertropic]

Michael Wincott’s voice is up there with the best ever! JP brilliance having him do the Purple People Eater monologue that was haunting.

[@maxxamillz2255]

I been waitin for yall review on this on this movie for awhile

[@rashiedsabir]

28:31 Steve - BOO Nikki - “nope, no today” *something smashes thru window* Nikki - OH SHIT! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@DorothySmith-l7o]

It's giving the The Substance, in the way it explores people who might be willing to give in to "the call" of fame and success. I have no problem with success, but I do have an issue with sacrificing internal values for external gain. Even one of the final shots is depicting the alien mimicking the flash of a camera. Love that the main characters' empathy wins all.

[@balloonedraccoon2503]

I just watched this movie last night and Holy shit! I absolutely loved it! I was not expecting anything like I got and I was on board the entire time.

[@Thriscucker]

If you haven’t seen any of the other Jordan peele films you should, there really good

[@kathygudmundson6384]

There are all these theories about why the alien changed forms, like puffing up after feeling threatened.. etc. I just thought it got ripped apart from the inside after it sucked up all that barbed wire fencing. 🤷‍♀️ I don’t usually go for horror movies but this one was so much fun. Had me on the edge of my seat saying “nope” a lot!

[@wtimmins]

Through half this movie I thought the screams were mimicry or recordings or something, a bit like in Predator. When I realized they were actually people in the thing... omfg.

[@Myles720]

Great analysis and stuff. Thank you for sharing your experience with this film with us. I’m sorry to hear about your beloved cats in your personal lives. Wish you the best.

[@Horrorismyjam]

I kept my KZbin on repeat waiting for you guys to drop this vid! Love your reactions, you guys are awesome

[@JonnyzDaKid]

Oh no, I got so excited to see you guys react to this but forgot about all the horses Nikki has to see go through it.

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

Jordan Peele is a genius.

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

The underlying theme of the film is how we misunderstand and mistreat animals, and how we've come to misplace ourselves in the natural order. That's how the monkey scene is linked to everything. It shows that the monkey would be the dominant animal in a natural environment, and we would be fked if only the monkey knew that (think Planet of the Apes). I believe the shoe is a symbol of balance in relation to the natural order, meaning at that moment everything is as it should be according to nature. If you mess with a monkey in the wild, the same thing would happen. They survived in the end because they understood the creature, thanks to their experience with the horses. The creature threw down the coins and keys on the farther because he looked up, not knowing the creature was there, and it mistook his eye contact as a challenge. The blood on the house is the creature marking its territory because it also feels challenge by the people and its displaying dominance on their territory. The colors the creature shows at the end when it unfolds, is like a bird-of-paradise waving its feathers when another male is trying to challenge it. In other words, the creature is much more intelligent than what it appears to be and it's very much aware that people are the only animal that can challenge it. Just like the monkey realised when it killed all those people. The question then becomes whether it was the right thing to kill the creature in the end, because it never caused any real harm other than eating a few horses.

[@minkalampinen9519]

This film is one of the great ones! Unforgettable!

[@vixiestarfire]

28:30 that was the funniest jump scare clip I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂

[@branbran810]

i love this movie sm!! one of my fav alien movies. love when jean jacket shows her/his true form

[@blackairforcekai]

i have been obsessed with this movie since it came out! also, steve..i agree & said the same! total tarantino feel! the sounds & eeriness of it all had me obsessed.

[@John_Locke_108]

Did you see the stinger after the credits? It's an advertisement poster to visit that old west amusement park. I think it's at Universal.

[@Justbox119]

everyone if ur over 21 take a shot everytime they say nope lol

[@raquelitakc]

I love how it's basically commentary on how people fuck around with animals and find out.

[@thomasrusconi]

Hi! Hope the little one is doing better! I spent a lot of time in North LA county a few years back for work. A true classic thriller you should review, which was filmed entirely on the roads and highways between Santa Clarita and Palmdale, as well as Canyon Country and Agua Dulce, is 'Duel', directed by Steven Spielberg. It's his first movie (made for TV) and it predates Jaws by several years. You'll both definitely get a kick out of it!

[@monsoon2974]

I love how Jupe was the demise of Jean Jacket. If he had left it alone, it might not have even eaten those people. He gave it a taste for mankind, events dooming it. Cuz Jean Jacket isn't a malevolent thing, its an amimal who was just trying to survive, but it was Jupes meddling that turned it into a monster. I also love how its a balloon of Jupe that kills JJ. What a masterful movie.

[@mplwy]

I had a little horse who was mostly Morgan with a touch American Saddlebred. I had her from the time I was eleven and she was about two. She lived to be nearly 30. We used to fly! Really wish we'd had some sort of horse racing at our annual county fair at the time. We both loved to run! She would have left that thing in the dust! 😊❤️ Had a mixed large pony as well. She wasn't as into running but when she did, it didn't even feel like her feet were hitting the ground. She would have left it in the dust, as well. 😊❤️
