Urhis speech. Cassidys mother and grandfathea both suffered from dementia. Hate to hear that. Ear that. Sure do. 7 50 right now. Ight. Kev is here with the bock beat. A i got good news for allisonls seymour. Seym im in, kev. V. Were going to the movies goh tonight. Nice. Congratulations. Im going going with allison and myll a wife. Im going with my friends,ng too. If theyre watching i dont wanw them to think im standing u. You convinced me its better thr second time. Were talking about get out a horror film that apparentlyarntl works better the second time. Erc thats why im going tonight. Tg youre going to want to seets it again this weekend. Wke the idea behind the movie and a well we can roll the trailerrail here is jordan peel directed dir this. You know him from key and peel p hes a comedian, right, but thet story line is young black man ik college stating today white tode woman and they go home to meet her parents and something insane is happening at her house. Thats all i can really say buty one of things thats interesting about this film while it is awh horror film it actually has verr interesting message and thought provoking idea about society ana one of the things thatss tha interesting her father in theg r movie and her whole family tries to over compensate that theyree not being racist so the fatherhr will say things like, oh, i o would have voted for obama for r third term. Rm. Trying to connect with theh character but in reality, hes really kind of being racist. Ras so i spoke to jordan peel aboutu that message in the movie and a also why does the trailer say sy from the mind of jordan peel. N e usually you see a film by. Ilm b watch this. What . T do they know im black . Should they. Y. You might want to. Mom and dad you my black mk boyfriend will be coming this t weekend. Eken i dont want you to be shockedho that hes a black man. An the father keeps saying iher would have voted for obama for r third term. [ laughter ][ lauger ] hes overly stating hes h trying not to be racist. Theres this party seen intye with rose his white girlfriend,i and basically all the white people, um, around him at thistt party are kind of trying to comc and connect to him on some blaca thing. Yeah. Its an interesting, um, phenomenon. Its very true. Its not its not a hateful f thing. Its actually its an oliveli branch but i think what thishatt movie sort of shows is, being ii the position of somebody who might feel like theyre being seen for their color firstolor f before being connected as an individual, its, um, even though its not a hateful thingg its still a shade and a side of this big sort of mess that we tt call racism. Ism so its just a little piece ofee proof that, you know, were farf from a post racial world. Hug me, my man. E, my man. How long has this been going on, this thing . Hing . Im curious when i watch thet trailer for this film from there mind of joda i thought that was anthat w an interesting way to put it. Stingo i never seen it that way beforeb im wondering do you have a sayy in how it worded in the trailert you usually see a picture from Martin Scorcese a film by. Il b i thought that was cool. As c it was definitely clear peopleel need to know this is from a black writer and director. Wr its a different movie if a i white guy did it. We hired georgine in a Andree Walter to help care for my parents. When they died i couldnt bearlr to let them go. G im wondering as director ana a writer, what is the balance oe not giving too much away but putting things in there that yoe can kind of go back and go, oh . I wanted to make a movie youv have to watch two times. Im. I want to see it again rightt now. Watch it again. You know, every little evee piece of dialogue, um, is as plant for something. Etng yeah. So hopefully this one will ow kind of, you know, live on. Ive o people watch it twice, threeceth ive put some little easter eggg in there ill probably continuen to weve in the universe if my m next movie. Nextie. Now the cool thing about whaw he just said is, that means hese wants to continue thishis particular like this timelint of this story line into his nexx film. Film so like, for example, look atk the marvel movies captaintain america an havent injuries those are all in the same universe. E ar righte. Right that would be cool if he cooe continues to do that. Co i cant wait to see it again. I cant either. Well go tonight. Ntinwait tw i should have told you lastha night i saw the batman lego leg movie too. Movie too it was awesome. Waawes it was a awesome. Weme can we get popcorn and sour s patch kids and milk d tonight. Yes. Mixed icy with the blue ande the red mix. Thred brain freeze over 50 cant dd that any more. Me. Okay. See you tonight.
