#383 – Nope and Cognitive Dissonance (Undertone)

Underrated!!!!

Episode Notes

Jordan Peele: Pretty good director. In this episode we talk NOPE in connection with another sound based horror film, UNDERTONE.

Listen in as we talk about the glory of Kaluuya, the charm of Yeun, and the horrifying creatures of Peele's imagination.

Oh, and cognitive dissonance. What's a bad miracle?
