Nope

2022

Los Angeles County (Agua Dulce)

Jordan Peele

Sci-Fi Horror Thriller

What’s it all about: Jordan Peele delivers a big smack to Spielberg Face (the signature gaze-up-in-awe shot) with death from above on a dude ranch. 

First Encounter: first viewing

Prostitute Index: nil

Death By: a nickel

Relics: live studio audience, roadside attraction

Hoops: “In American movies, there is always this dry old man who shows up full of knowledge who’s going to solve the problem.” - Candotti

Heartthrobs: Keke Palmer, Daniel Kaluuya

Pass/Fails the Test of Time: Keith David

LoFi Magic: “Sunglasses at Night”

Words to live by: “Nope.”

Makes me want to: gallop on horseback 

Candotti Take: “Why do UFOs always choose farms to land, according to the movies?” / “It’s the kind of movie that if you’re on a long flight, it makes the flight even longer.”

Worth a watch/rewatch: Yep
