There comes a time in every two man's lives when they take a bunch of Glembezza, get super old, do an opening bit that goes on way too long, then watch two films on streaming. That time is then! Jay and Mike talk about two floms they watched weeks ago! Why aren't they talking about movies in the theater? Welp, I looked to see what was playing in the theater and it was: The Muppet Movie from 1974, some kid shit, something called "Honk for Jesus, Jaws from 1977, and some Teen romance film. Yes, the movie theaters are truly dead. They'll fill the screen with literally anything! Why go to a disgusting nightmare-world where you sit in other people's trash to see The Muppet Movie? So Jay and Mike watch two films of very good quality on streaming as they do and review them. Movies truly are magical. Tune in next week when Mike gets an illegal broadcast on his TV by the toynbee tiles guy who is currently broadcasting Clown Doll on all frequencies. This nightmare we call life will never end until it does.

He doesn’t say shit but he shows the internal battle of, “do I poke my head out?” so well. And his reaction following what he see’s was the most grounded and real response to seeing something like that. I dunno I thought he was great man. Everyone killed it, Keke Palmer, the dude from Fry’s and the old cinematographer were all in their bags.

To me Nope wasn't so much about Hollywood as it was about exploitation. Of all kinds. From child actors being forced to work and then put in danger on set, to animals being used as entertainment, to the disrespect of the animal trainers by the actors on the movie set, to the desperation for footage of the creature, to the hubris of thinking feeding the alien horses would make you able to control it somehow, etc. About viewing other beings as a means for profit or your own personal benefit rather than viewing them as individuals with their own wants and needs. That plays in with the Hollywood aspect as they're huge exploiters, but yeah, much more about the general exploitation of various parts of this world we live in. I loved it.

The scene in Nope when they were at Fry's was funny to me because the company is now out of business and in the scene you see them walking past a shelving rack and the inventory levels slowly get lower and lower and the hooks holding product slowly get spaced father and farther apart. Anybody who's been in a Fry's in the last 3 or 4 years knows that pretty much sums up the store. Only the movie didn't show the next 15 feet of shelving being totally empty.

As a resident of the Silicon Valley, where Fry's was headquartered and boasted over a half dozen stores in the region at one point, it was rather disheartening going into the nearest location (Campbell, ancient Egyptian theme) throughout its final year of existence, and seeing how increasingly empty the shelves would get with each visit. At one point I even asked a worker there if the company was going through some sort of financial turmoil, which she vehemently denied. Probably wasn't really allowed by the company to acknowledge there was anything wrong, so I cut her quite a bit of slack there.

I think the "exploiting a real life tragedy" comment comes from the Monkey bit - it didn't happen during the filming of a TV pilot but there was a similar incident in 2009 where a domesticated chimp went crazy and basically almost tore apart a woman who survived but had lost her hands, most of her face etc. When she did interviews she wore a similar hat to the one we see in NOPE as well so it was definitely based on that attack.

Yeah I don't get people calling OJ an "unlikeable protagonist." He is supposed to stand in stark contrast to his sister, who is super bubbly and energetic while he takes after his father's seriousness much more closely. He suffered a traumatic event seeing his father die in a seemingly random freak accident and is trying to process it while all this other weird shit is happening around him while he also tries to just keep the family business going on top of that. His emotional distance from the people around him and his flat emotional response to some of the crazy situations in the movie is a trauma and stress response, which isn't even all that uncommon. I forget the actor's name, but he did a great job portraying the character (really all the actors did a stellar job throughout the movie).

I think he loved the horses more than people. But you could see how expert he is at his work and he is competent when thrust into the unknown.

I loved Nope. I hadn't watched the trailer, so I knew nothing about the movie before going into it. Perhaps that emphasized the sense of mystery in the first act and drew me in more than a lot of people. I also loved the themes that may not be clear to other people. Criticism of Daniel Kaluuya's character is weird to me. He's clearly just an anxious person. His father is the quintessential cowboy where he just helps out. I don't think he even rides a horse until the climax. He feels insufficient to fill his father's shoes, dooming the ranch and his family's legacy.

Spoilers for Nope: The flashing square mouth of the opened-up creature reminded me of a camera shutter/sensor. I think Jay's comment seems pretty on point, and that there is a lot in the movie that evokes themes around the predatory aspect of showbiz. The problem some people might have is that it is vague and abstract, and that there's not much symbolism that you can map neatly onto something in the real world to "get what is really being said". But the movie is really full of elements that point that way. The horses are raised to be sold/fed to movie producers/the monster. The child actor is deeply traumatized by what he was put through. I wonder if the TMZ guy getting eaten up was a cathartic kind of thing for Peele. Who knows how many times he's encountered them on the street. Was it from them he learned the strategy to not look the predator in the eyes? The movie is a soup of this kind of symbolism, but that doesn't make it bad. There's still something being said, more complex than we might be easily able to put into words. That's the great thing about stories.

I simply liked the idea of not looking things straight into the eyes, because in reality that phrase often means something like being honest, but being honest means making yourself vulnerable. Horror movies tend to show/teach you how being vulnerable can be taken advantage of by abusers/predators,... Not looking things in the eye as a manner of survival is a pretty cool concept on its own. Like, aren't we all trying to ignore something? And aren't there things we focus on that are harmful to us? Our eyes are rather deceiving as well, being our most dominant organ to register our surroundings, yet by being so dominant, we often think we know that what we see is true - yet science has proven that alot of our sight is illusory and simply a means of organizing the world into something we can understand. Not looking allows one to understand things in a different way. You can dig pretty deep on this, but it's just a cool movie with a cool concept. Not as amazing as Get Out, but definitely better than US.

However, I think the significance is that it's so random and unlikely that it sticks in Jup (Steven Yeun)'s mind, and he thinks it gives the whole chimp attack, and his subsequent survival, a sort of serendipitous significance. As a result he thinks he has more power than he actually does, leading him to think he can control Jean Jacket.

The opening Bible quote about spectacle is the main theme that ties it all together. "I will pelt you with filth, I will treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle." It’s about the horror of profiting off of tragedy. Which is why everyone who looks at and (initially) tries to profit off the alien is punished by it. And Steven Yuen’s character is so detached from his trauma that he laughs about the snl skit making fun of it and doesn’t realize he’s continuing the cycle of exploitation of his own pain. I do agree that all the different elements feel unwieldy on initial watch but it’s all intentional in the end and that’s why I’m still thinking about it.

@@ScyllaWyrm I did like the idea that it wasn't an extraterrestrial but an indigenous cryptid that has been around forever, giving rise to the idea of flying saucers in general folklore by simply resembling one (or more accurately, saucers resembling it). Some species of whale navigate using electromagnetic fields so the idea of a terrestrial "sky whale" is a cool idea. unfortunately i think that this fanfic is deconfirmed by Jordan Peele in an interview, but I can't point you to the specific clip as I only heard this secondhand.

I used to work in a local restaurant in my home town and the soup was literally the only thing we made from scratch. except the mushroom soup, my boss would use a large can of Cambells mushroom soup as a base and then just added fresh cut mushrooms and other stuff to make a large pot out of it. I'll tell you though, it was my favourite soup.

Jackie Brown (blaxploitation) and Death Proof (car movies) are my favorites. I'd say they are the two most honest Tarantino movies. I love them all, but in comparison the first two are sort of pretentious indie stuff, and the later ones (maybe except Kill BIll - martial arts) feel like he delivered what the public expected from him. Jackie Brown and Death Proof are pure heart, pure love for grindhouse cinema.

To the point about the characters in Nope being unfocused or unrealistic, I can very safely tell you that they were extremely accurate. It may be that Mike and Jay haven’t had as much exposure to people like that, but Kiki Palmer’s character Emerald was almost too realistic for me. My little cousin and younger brother are just like them. My best friend is also very much like OJ. That type of stoicism is often mistaken for “moping” or indifference. Also Kiki Palmer’s Character was very manic because she, like many people you’ll meet who are getting “chewed up” by hollywood or the Rat-race, is disorganised, impulsive, irresponsible and wears how they feel on their sleeve. These two characters are very realistic.

It's kind of funny how Mike talks about how general audiences might not have liked Nope for not getting the abstract message when I think his and Jay's interpretations are too specific. Hollywood plays a part in it, sure, but it's more about not being able to look away from a spectacle, even when it can harm you. Although I do really like Jay and Mike's interpretations of the Jup thing. That story had a lot of meaning for what was the B plot of the film.
