Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 137: Get Out

David Kaluuya is scared to death in Jordan Peele's GET OUT

“Spoilerpiece Theatre” is a weekly movie podcast where I talk about new releases with fellow BOFCA critics Dave Riedel and Kris Jenson. We don’t give a shit about spoilers. We just want to talk about the movies.

In Episode 137 below we review Get Out, The Boy Next Door, Fatal Attraction, and Single White Female. This week I learn the meaning of the term “hippie lettuce” and the results are mind blowing, well to me anyway. Kris opens with a segment of “Keepin’ up with the Jensons” (at 4:40) where he talks about how great the performances in Fences are and why he didn’t mind the Google Earth portions in Lion as much as other people. Next, I share my psycho stalker weekend. No, I didn’t stalk anyone. I just watched The Boy Next Door, Fatal Attraction, and Single White Female within two days and dug them all for their unhinged villains and insane plot twists. Lastly, we all review the horror film Get Out (at 30:38), Jordan Peele’s tremendous directorial debut, which we all had the privilege of seeing. We have so much fun spoilerpiecing their screening’s engaged audience, the sense of terrifying dread that Peele creates, and all of the subtle foreshadowing Peele lays down for the frightening events that follow, that we end up running a little longer than usual.
