and there are millions and millions and millions of people that speak Spanish and I love it. I love to learn.
I love challenging my brain. I learned piano for so long, which is like a language.
So that part of my brain is already excited to learn more languages. And so I'm super excited to see what's in store for Rosetta Stone and my Spanish speaking abilities.

Does it feel like I'm everywhere in your head? Can we guess what the acronym is for something? Yeah, sure. Acute sound.
I need to ask you again. Does it feel like I'm just everywhere? Because I'm in your head.

I am you.

I am all of you.

So cute sound.

Jason, close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Look, it's me.

In here.

I'm in here with you.

I'm going to go upstairs.

I'm going to turn off.

Oh, my God.

How did you get in here?

Okay.

I think we got it. We got it.
Rob wants out. Welcome to Smurlus.
Smart. Light us.
Smart. Light us.
Smart. Light us.
So guys, I'm sorry I'm late. Start with a reason why you're not wearing a hat, why we got to look at what we're— Is Scavo on holiday? What's going on with Scavo? Did I tell you I met Scavo? I didn't get a schedule on Scavo.
Did we talk last time about that I met Scavo? No. No, but I know that you did.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I was in there getting this done to my head.

Oh, it looks good, by the way, Jay.

I paid for it.

Believe it.

It looks really good.

Stop it.

It does the length.

And then there was Scavo.

And Scavo, like, is not nearly as...

God, I got to say this kindly.

The name will point you in a certain direction of anticipation. And here's this like Greek God.
And he's beautifully short of that. Yeah.
Yeah, he's a pretty cool dude. Yeah.
Okay, so Sean, sorry you're late today because... I was one minute late.
I'm not making this up. I literally just went to the mail and something was dropped over the fence.
And it's forty and it's from this company. Bare bottom.
B-E-A-R-B-O-T-O-L-L. It literally describes him in two words.
A bare bottom clothing. He's a bear and he's a bottom.
Listen, this is great to know. I swear to God, I just picked it up in the mail.
Does it say noisy on the other side? Does it say power? It says sloppy. So what does Bare Bottom make for clothing? I don't know.
Should I open it? Oh, they're nice. Oh, they're like shorts.
Oh, they're just shorts. Of course they're shorts.
I would like to say the one thing I did think about, and we rarely do think of anything to say on this show, non-shocker, is just, is how much this is not working for me, Will, you spending your summer out of town. I know.
I don't get, I mean, I get you've got a lot of money and people with a lot of money need to figure out ways to spend it and you found one there. Not true.
But this isn't working for us. For me.
Well, like, Jay and I are going to the Dodgers game tonight. Yeah.
I know. And like, you should be there.
I was invited to go with you guys, obviously, you know that, and I would love to go with you, and... But who is this good for? I bet you it weirds the kids out.
The dogs probably all freaked out, what's this house? Well, the kids are missing you. The kids love it, and, you know, the kids love being out here, and, you know, obviously, I used to live in New York.
And so I sold my apartment and I bought a house out at the beach, which is why I'm here. And I like it out here.
Thank God you're not saying Long Island anymore. I mean, stop hiding.
Okay. Yeah.
You live in the Hamptons. Yeah.
You know. And how many Range Rovers are in the driveway? Zero.
Huh. You got those in LA? All GMCs.
They're all GMCs. Why? Because they're professional grade? Well, we are professional grade, sure.
Sure. I got a new AT4X on its way.
It's a beautiful pickup truck from the GMC. I saw pictures of that.
It's good looking. It's real handsome.
I'm coming out there in two weeks, Will. It's got a multi-prote tailgate.
Now, you're coming out in two weeks, Sean. Yes, that's what I just said.
How long are you guys coming for? One night. One night.
What night is it? I don't remember. Just one night? I don't understand.
Yeah, well... Oh, because then you're flying to come see me.
That's right. Where are you going to spend seven nights with me? Well, maybe like four.
Really? Are you going to cut it short? Yeah, because we're going to get a NASA. We're going to get a tour of NASA in Florida first before I see you.
And then you're going to go to the Bahamas and do a tour of NASA. Wonderful, Will.
Will! So tight. That's fantastic.
Really tight. I know.
Are we rolling, guys? Did you get any of that? I love getting instant feedback. Anyway.
You want to get to it? Let's get to it. You want to get to it let's get to it let's get to it let's get to it because i think you're gonna be happy okay today we have a man who is half of a famous comedy duo he's been educated by the smart folks at sarah lawrence he's performed at second city in chicago sean he starred two big TV shows, probably more, just not good at research.
Produced a few of them, probably more, not good at research. He's voiced characters in multiple animated hit films, but you know him and love him for his recent work behind the camera as a writer, producer, and badass director of three incredible films, two of which we've seen.

These have yielded four Academy Award nominations and one win.

His new film will undoubtedly add to all of that

because it looks triple good, or as the kids like to say, dope,

which rhymes with nope, which is the name of the film.

Here's Jordan Peele.

No way.

God, look at that. No one's ever taken a bow, you guys.
Wow. It's next level.
Yes. You took a bow like the opposite way.
Your head went way up. I took a bow on an audio podcast.
Jordan, I was just talking about you today. Guys, don't choke the puppy, all right? Just ease off.
Back off, back off. I was just talking about him today.
I had to just say that. Here I am in the flesh.
We're very, I'm very excited that you're here. This is so exciting.
It's so exciting to meet you. You know, we're going to get to it, but it's like the number one movie I'm most excited to see out of anything.
I watched the trailer half a dozen times. Yeah, I've seen the trailer a million times.
Well, that's fantastic. I've seen the clicks that you've put on the YouTube trailer.
He's got a lock on our IP address. I'm so excited for it.
Thank you. While we're talking about the trailer here, do you cut your own trailers or do you have meaningful consultation? I love that phrase.
Or do you let the fine folks at Universal get it all done and vendor that stuff out? Because the trailers for your films are equally incredible. You can't use vendor as a verb.
Don't say vendor that stuff out. That's one of the grossest things.
You can, can't you? No, but you just tried to slide it in there, and it's one of the most disgusting things. And a fucking long list of just...
Will, can I talk to you for some reason? Yes, of course. Yes, of course.
You guys, okay? And I'm really nervous. Guys, whenever you're ready, I can.
Hey, man, we're back. We're back.
So we're talking trailers? Yeah. Did you get your hands on that at all? Well, yeah, man.
Look, I think a lot of directors are envious of the trailers that I get to put out. And I have to give Universal Marketing just a lot of credit.
They bring just great work, and they're collaborative. We've had success from Get Out.
Right. So they'll let you poke around.
Oh, yeah, they'll let me poke around. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They'll let me poke around. In the very beginning, we had to make some strong decisions.
Like, you know, in get out you know we were the the whole question of do you do you let out the that that rose right that the that the evil white girl that the white girl is evil do you let that out is that the thing that's going to bring people okay well now i have to see the evil white girl movie and so we we together chose not to do that and we made the right choice i think but it meant that you couldn't really put a certain section of the film in the materials, right?

I mean, you couldn't...

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, so it kind of...

But it was worth it

because, I mean, that was...

It was the right move.

That's a huge, huge thing.

It was the right move.

For, you know,

Get Out is also one of my favorite movies of all time.

Well, thank you.

And I love it.

So I've seen it a million times.

No, you haven't.

There's no way.

That's impossible.

I'm starting to...

No, it's fine. But if that number just pops up...
Yeah, that number is a fucking, that's a. Yeah, no, we haven't a record.
We haven't a record. So, but wait, did you, that was your first movie you ever directed? First movie ever? First movie ever.
And how did that happen? Because it's flawless. Oh, stop.
And it's, yeah, and he wins an Academy Award for writing it. I know.
I you guys it's true did you have a did you have a sit down with yourself and say you sit down with chelsea probably and say now baby uh what you're probably going to witness for the next uh 20 30 years is just a rapid descent from the peak of the like how could it ever get better were you prepared for just like it's too much too soon and then you went ahead and doubled it with us probably tripled it with with i mean just look probably i mean well thank you no i mean yeah dude it was it was so much pressure and yet at the same time you know so many opportunities opened up because of that thing and And literally the opportunity to say, okay, what story, you know, to be able to write something knowing it's going to get made is a whole different thing. A whole different thing.
And that it's got to be at least as good because they're going to be waiting for you to be a one-hit wonder. And then like all of that pressure to still let your creativity come through without having it be muted or strangled by that pressure how did you how did you push through that you know you embrace the risk that only you can take you know because that's really the position you're at you have you have more leeway so you have to take a big gobble of risk and do something you're kind of not supposed to do each time.
And that was us. And that was us to me at the time.
Big swing and you nailed it. Thank you, man.
Thank you. I'm so proud of these movies.
I'm so proud of this movie I'm about to unleash on the world. When does it come out? When does it come out? It comes out the 22nd.
22nd of July. So this might be right around that time.
Jordan, I want to say, let me ask you this question. You, you know, obviously Key and Peele was, I think, one of the most trailblazing TV shows of the last 25 years.
For sure. You guys wrote some unbelievable sketches on that show that are still memorable that I still go and look at today.
And I'm not one of those people who constantly goes like, hey, you know, brings up bits that other people do for whatever reason. But your sketches from that show for me have been a touchstone of really funny, really original.
I love, I mean, I'm not I'm not unique in that way, but I love really original comedy. And you guys did incredible original comedy.
And how much writing of that do you think prepared you for this next chapter that you're in now? Writing a sketch, because it's such a discipline, right? Because I think all of us were like, we love you from, just to piggyback on what Will says, we all obviously love you from Key and Peele and everything you've done before Get Out. So when Get Out came out, we're like, wait, what? But it's not surprising because you wrote so many great sketches.
Was that like a training ground, do you think? Did that sort of give you a kind of discipline? To be good fast? Yeah, I mean, fuck, yeah, yeah. You know, the sketch to me is about a couple of things that I think the movies are also about.
And with Sketch, you get this, one of the things you get is a great training ground for just that, getting to sort of push the boundaries and understand audience. And you get to commit to something just for three minutes at a time.
And sometimes you take too big a swing. Sometimes you don't take big enough a swing, but you get calibrated in that hole in what to swing for.
Right. And so I think a lot of what I think makes one of my movies, one of my movies is that, you know, from the early stages and every stage through, I am trying to think of how can that, how can I take a risk? What is the right risk to take here? Because that's what people need.
That's what people really deserve is something that's fucking sketchy to do and to pull off and to convince a studio to let you do. Has to be that.
Well, like a lot of your sketches, you guys would take a kernel of an idea and you would keep doubling down on it and keep heightening it in a way that was like and you're like oh fuck these guys oh and they've and now they're heightening it again which is just the nature of really good uh comedy yeah i mean right well this is you guys you know this is these are the rules that all you guys fucking do every day you know you know these things, and yeah, it felt a bit, there was a vacuum there for a minute where it felt like, you know, we've had these great sketch shows that come along and just in living color and Mr. Show Chappelle, you know, you have these moments where these things happen.
That's different. And it hadn't happened for a while.
Yeah. So then you writing get out which is just comes you know just absolute like a freight train just man just it just hits everybody and it just part really becomes just part of the in for a while there just it was the it thing culturally and in that movie really really grabbed people and again though i was going to say, like, you kind of use the same principles, right? Like, you just kept doubling down on the idea, and you kept pushing it out further.
You talked about that before. Like, how far can I push this idea? What more can I do? And surprise people.
I think that's it. It's the element of surprise.
Yeah. How did you think? I mean, you've been asked this a million times and forgive me, I don't know the answer.
But every time I watch Get Out and like I said, 1 million times. Wow.
How did you think how I mean, it's such a bizarre, brilliant concept. Wow.
Where'd you get the idea? The idea, you know, honestly, it's just it's life, right? I mean, there's this that there's this group of wealthy people that buy body parts. I mean, it's so nuts.
Yeah, well, the whole thing started with just that feeling, okay? If I can capture a feeling, a horror, a fear that I haven't seen bottled in a film before, if I can identify that fear, I can make a horror movie out of it. Because it's there, right? Just the way in sketch comedy, if one thing you say can get a laugh, I know all you guys, if you get a laugh once, you can get it a million times and you can keep getting it.
You know how to do that. Just say sashimi, yeah a million times yeah and then and the uh same same kind of thing when i was like i know this nugget of i am this fear of being in the most the black guy in a white space where you feeling um feeling the attention and it's not good even if it feels even if it's supposed to feel good and not good and it's this thing that I know that everyone recognizes in their own way but so anyway, so it started with like that party sequence in a way was like, okay, that's the movie.
But there's a there's an element to what you do that you would assume could only really happen after a lot of practice and a lot of exposure to the filmmaking process. And that is this ability to create an unsettling environment.
And there's a camera component to that. There's a sonic component to that, an editorial pace to that.
There's a lighting component to that. Where did you find all of that and learn all of that? I mean, right out of the gate in Get Out, the scene on the street at night.
Like, there was so much patience that you showed in. It was like, I'm already nervous out of my mind because things aren't, I think, was it a one-er? I think that, I mean, yeah.
One shot for Tracy. Where do you get off doing that? Tracy, if you're paying attention, it's one shot.
Right out of the gate, were you encouraged by a DP that you hired? Were you, or is it just, you're just a baller? Tracy, I know this question is long. Are you there? Are you still with us, Tracy? Sorry.
Is that what you talk about, Tracy, when some kind of business jargon is dropped? There's that, but then there's also he's apologizing for my long-winded questions, which I am prone to do. Sean's sister lives in Wisconsin, and her name is Tracy, and so we always explain to Tracy.
DP means cinematographer, and one oneer is without cutting. BP can mean cinematographer.

Yeah.

Tracy, look up that shit yourself.

Tracy, look it up.

So where do you get all of this filmmaking talent

is probably the better economical way to ask it.

Thank you.

What a lovely question.

It's watching movies.

It's watching movies.

And by the way, like, I started as a puppeteer,

as when I went to college thinking I was going to do something like that. That's crazy.
Come on. Come on.
What? Yeah. This totally, you know, on this sort of thankless art form that I thought was kind of beautiful and special.
Can't really fail at it. But the whole notion is, you know, this illusion, right? Right.
And then since then, I've just acted. I've, you know, written.
I've done a lot. I just had a great experience in the other pieces.
Wait, where did you start puppeteering? It seems so hard because you have to keep your arms up. Or down.
It doesn't matter. Just elevate yourself and you can hang them down a little bit, Sean.
God. Sorry, Jordan.
Where did you start? Where was that going on, Jordan? I don't even know where you go. So when I went to Sarah Lawrence, my kind of like, my cheeky liberal arts college answer to what my major was, was I'm a puppeteer.
Right, amazing. That's so cool.
Sculpture, theater classes. You know, I was like, a real bohemian motherfucker.

Fucking puppeteer at Sarah Lawrence.

Fucking puppeteer at Sarah Lawrence, my dude.

That's all the girls needed to hear, right?

Yeah.

He's a fucking what?

He's a what?

Yeah.

He does what with his hands?

But where does the confidence come to trust that you're going to be able to transition an audience

from something that seems fairly normal into something that is abnormal?

You obviously know how to do that in comedy, right?

Because you got to sort of present as just, well, we're just you.

And then we do something that's a little bit on that surprising.

And then there's a surprise that comes with a laugh.

Is it the same kind of thing with doing horror? Is it the same kind of calculation? What? Oh, horror. Yes, yes, yeah.
Yeah, with horror. Yeah.
It is connected and, you know, I know you play around with this in your own work. There's a rhythm.
I always find that horror and comedy are sort of baked into one another because it's about grounding and absurdity as best as possible. Both is taking a swing to something that is either going to make you fucking terrified or make you absurd in some way and making it real.
And the difference can be the difference between two pieces of music. I was just going to let you know, I don't know if you know this, because I don't know if you know that I'm Canadian and they changed your movie, the title Get Out in Canada.
They called it Get Out. Oh, good.
That's great. Guys, again, Rob Bennett, are you guys rolling on all this stuff? They're not going to cut that out, you dick.
What do you think? No, no, I just want to make sure we got that. I want to make sure we got that.
Do they spell it two O's and a T, Will, just to finish the joke? Oh, sorry. Jason, why don't you ask Jordan about the lighting packages, you fucking dick? Now, listen.
Here we come. I don't know what I was saying.
I don't know what I was. That's okay.
We don't either. And we will be right back.

And now back to the show. Now, when you come up with these original ideas, because none of them are like, it's incredible premises and concepts.
Is it because Donna Langley and Peter Kramer are so darn smart and courageous at Universal

that they're saying, yeah, great, go.

Or are you having to do a bunch of tricks to talk them into?

That's what I want to know.

Don't worry, this is going to be commercial.

The real questions.

Yeah.

I mean, how do you, they're original ideas and you're getting this major studio to fund, you know, something that's not kind of boilerplate concept. I had the same question.
You know, we've had a couple of situations where they've taken on the risk, and it's paid off. You know, for this one, I felt very, very very trusted and you know the way the way i talk to those guys is i i sound i what is my you hear this you sound great no you sound fucking cool you're not gonna sell pickup trucks like will arnett but um you know you sound raspy you sound i sound like wheezy yeah that's.
Yeah. But, I mean, they gave me a lot of leeway to do some crazy shit in the movie.
But you're also, there's these highbrow themes underneath all of this sticky, you know, fun popcorn stuff too. Like, I mean, you're doing it all.
I just, God damn. Thanks, man.
How does it happen? I mean, you're a kid. Jason.
How old's your kid? Jason, real quick. Jason.
Drool? Is there too much drool? No, your jealousy is showing. Right there, your jealousy is showing.
No, it's admiration. Jealousy comes out the other side.
I was going to ask you about Chelsea. So I know Chelsea as well.
And how did you guys... How did you and Chelsea meet? Peretti, listener.
We met on the internet internet i just i dm'd her after i i i heard her on a podcast i i saw her and do some stand-up and i was i basically dm'd her and it was yeah yeah that's cool sometimes it works sometimes it works actually load up peretti on the straight dms now. Now, can you tell you how old you have a young boy or girl? I got a boy named Bo.
He's five. Bo.
Now, can we tell yet whether he's a smart one or a dumb one? No, he's very smart. He's a reader.
Is he? Yeah, he's a brilliant young man. Wow, he's smarter than Jason already.
Yeah, I don't agree. But, you know, I'm sure we share some faults.
Yeah. Let's put it that way.
His faults, I realize. Tell me what you're bad at.
What am I shit at? I mean, I'm really bad at, I mean, keeping things clean, you know. I just see somebody and just being and spacing out, you out, you know, to the, to the bane of my, um, my wife's existence.
Um, you'll just check out. Yeah.
And I'll try and, you know, it's, it's one of those things you're talking to your son, just boat, boat, boat, boat, yeah. Focus.
Boat. And just nothing, nothing.
And I'm re and I realize I'll do the same thing. You know, I've realized he'll be saying dad 10 times and I'm like, right.
Maybe that's just concentration and focus and that's well that's what i that's what i think is happening i understand that i had alessandra just told me very recently that like i forget what it was now i can't even remember again what it was but i'd asked her something and she goes i've told you the answer to this like four times in the last 24 hours was it her last name'm the same way. Why are we all that? Why are we all that?

This is actors, motherfucker.

We're all dumb assholes.

Yeah, we're all inside our head.

My memory works just for learning lines.

That's it.

Okay, wait, hold on a second.

Because I don't want to get,

I don't know how much time we have.

I mean, I just want to respond to Jason.

Yes, sir.

On your very nice things that you said. But I want to say, I don't know how much it's stressed, but you are the first...
Guys, let him finish. This sounds like it might be a compliment.
You are the first... Please be a compliment.
Fucking dry delivery comedy guy I've ever seen in my life. I'd ever seen in my life.

First dry.

I'd never seen it before.

I'm talking about fucking Hogan.

Right?

Wow.

Hogan family.

Hogan family. That's going back a bit.

Talking about seeing,

yeah,

bro,

we're talking about Hogan.

Okay.

This is coming out of like,

right.

It's coming out of an Alex P.

Keaton sort of universe where you got this,

you know,

little Michael Jag, jump around. Yeah.
But you came in with this cadence that I swear— It's the best. Has it ever happened before? It's unmatched.
Did it ever— Jordan, it's so fucking good. Let's go on, JB, a little compliment thing.
The motherfuckers copied. The motherfuckers came and copied, Jason.
Thefuckers came and copied that shit. First of all, he and Jason invented, really? When that became a big thing, I'm telling you.
And remember how mad I got about that? Because I was like, that's fucking Bateman's. And I'd see these motherfuckers doing it on other shows and doing it as punchlines in commercials.
And they're like, really? And I'm like, that's Bateman fucking invented. and we did it on Arrested because I was copying him.
I was copying him. Meanwhile, here's the other thing.
When I first met Jason, we were doing the pilot for Arrested Development. This is one of my favorite, it's such a dumb joke, but we're in this rehearsal hall and this guy comes in, he's a crew guy and he's covered in tats, the neck, hands, everyone just covered.
And he walked in like right in front of us and kind of like started talking to somebody. And Jason, full volume, because he wasn't new that the guy wouldn't know what he was saying.
And Jason just turns to me and goes, who's your top dog? Who's your tippy? And I fucking, I fell to the ground. I was crying.
Yeah. I've just, I've been trying to do Bill Murray my whole life, right? Or John Cleese or Ben Stiller.
It didn't hit like that. It didn't hit like that.
You're very, very nice. I never thought it was quite enough, so I took it and just really notched it up.
You did. You did.
You put tap shoes on it. Yeah, it can.
Yeah, I put tap shoes on and I didn't think it's not going to read. It's not going to read.
So I just really hit the back of the room with that. But it is.
It's worthy of nothing. Yes.
You're very nice. Thank you.
You had mentioned that a lot of the inspiration for not only Get Out but Nope and all of your stuff is from movies you've seen. What are your inspirations? What movies do you draw upon and are stuck in your head as inspirations? Yeah, who's done it really, really well that you're dying to do it as good as? I would say you have no equal, but like who's been pulling you? Hopefully this is a compliment, but just from the trailer of Nope, I'm like, oh, it's very M.
Night. But now I go, oh, it's very Jordan Peele.
Oh, yeah. Well, Thank you.
I'm a big M. Night fan.
I think he's one of the greats. I love Spielberg.
It's kind of a boring answer because I like Kubrick and Spielberg. Steven Sewell.
Hitchcock. That's the one.
That's the one. And Tito.
No, I know. I'm joking.
I'm being glib, I like when people go I don't know For me, I like the Beatles Oh, do you? Oh, you like the Beatles? Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Well, that's me While we're here My favorite Sean Hayes story Did not know Beatles was spelled B-E-A-T No, by the way Just try my favorite By the way, penis Lots of people No Comment also agreed with me Those are pity tweets. I didn't know we were calling Bateman penis.
I didn't even know that that was a thing. They're pity tweets.
Wait, wait. So, sorry.
So, you like Spielberg and you like Kubrick and— Stuff that—cinematic stuff. Now that you put it like that fucking well, I like fucking Jean.
Yeah. Le Mons-Sue-Faum.
He was a ma-ha-ha. I don't know.
I'm with you, by the way. I'm'm fucking with you so I'm just yeah while we're while we're there at the cinematic titans like those guys can you just indulge me for one second before we lose the audience about your pursuit and landing of Hoyte oh my gosh where that came from this is a cinematographer Hoyte von Hoytman like this guy's just nailed how do you get well I'll tell you how you get him.
You make two great movies. But like, was it as incredible as you thought it might be? Like I would imagine it would be? Oh, different level, right? So, I mean, I've worked with great cinematographers.
I've gotten very lucky in all of my films. I mean, with Hoyt, I really got a guy who's done it all.
Is that how you say it? Hoyt? He said Hoyt. Hoyt, Hoyte.
Hoyte von Hoytema. You can say it either way.
Or I say it either way. I hope he's not angry.
He's never known. He's an absolute beast.
I mean, he's just – and what we were able to do with this movie is push ground in ways that I don't even really want to talk about because I don't want to take some of the experience from the audience. But, you know, we push technology with infrared cameras.
Wow. And he's just, yeah.
So we got on this. It was just like, it's just exactly what you want as a director.
Like this adventure where you're in over your head, but you've got this salt of the earth fucking DP who knows it all. Who's like, oh, this guy's this Dutch guy, this jolly Dutch guy with his beard.
And he's like, hey, it's going to be all right. We're going to figure this out.
By the way, that's a good Dutch accent. That's fucking great.
Thank you. Yeah, I just like, I don't know.
How do you gather when you have such a specific and unique flavor to your films? How are you able to crew that and cast that appropriately to where everybody is as crafty and clever as you are? Or do you just vendor it? Or do you just vendor it? Do you vendor it? Because I have Apple Pay, but I'll take Venmo. I mean, you know the thing.
It's like the team building is the thing. If you get that part right, it really flows.
But, yeah, you just talk to people who, for me, I'm talking to people who are inspired by the idea in a way that it's not, you know, in every department, it's not going to be me telling, saying this is what goes. It's going to be me about the collaboration between me and this person.
So if I'm excited about what they're excited about, and maybe they're excited about something that I didn't even know to be excited about. Letting them do their thing.
We're going in that direction together yeah did you did you so

you you touched on something really briefly in there when you were talking um you said that that you don't want to take away from people's experience and and i i don't know if i've had this experience myself i remember doing uh answering something questions about when we were doing bojack horseman a few years ago and i kind of yeah and i kind of didn't want to be too much of a dick about it. And I said, you know, I feel like sometimes there's too much emphasis on how the sausage is made and not enough enjoying of the sausage.
And I kind of got that feeling when you said that, that it's like, look, I could talk ad nauseum about how I made this film and what kind of cameras and what kind of shots we did, but you didn't do, make the film so that you could explain that to the audience. You did all that shit and hopefully it's seamless and they don't know what that is and they just, they experience it.
Is that right? That's right. And, you know, the only reason I bring it up is to give Hoyt his props.
No, you didn't bring it up. I did, yeah.
I'm dorking out on this stuff. Jason did.
Yeah. Fair enough.
But the, yeah, I mean the only reason I even tell you that there was some really interesting ground pushed at all so it is, just so you know, like, yeah, to answer that question, he's a real master. Yeah, and again, you didn't bring it up and obviously this is we do.
And so we're asking the questions because we are, and Jason's interested in our audiences too. And Sean and I are really interested.
But I just mean more generally, do you feel sometimes like you wish that you didn't have to answer questions about it and just let the work speak for itself? Is that ever something that kind of annoys you or gets in the way? You know, I think it can get in the way. And it was an interesting experience because I think with Get Out, you know, Get Out, you know, it had a lot of success, but it was also, there was a lot, I was talking about it a lot.
Yeah. And sort of trying to help that audience put together the dots on it.
And I don't know if it needed that, maybe not, you know, in the long run. But to get people to see it and, you know, my entry point into film was sort of telling people what I did.
Right. You know, when it got to us, you know, all of a sudden we have something that is a bit of a vaguer notion of how to discuss.
And so I felt like the responsibility to that film was to not sort of take the audience through it, but to let them experience it more. Yeah.
You know, I think with this film, I'm going to approach it letting the film lead a bit. But, you know, I do want the audience to know it was about spectacle and that it was about the theatrical experience in its core.
And this idea of I felt like, all right, I've got this position, I've got this responsibility to try and do that thing where I make some original shit that's just a fucking spectacle. The title cannot be beaten.
There's no better title for any film ever. Can you tell us a little bit, just from a fan's point of view, like I am, can you tell us a little bit about Nope? Can you tell us what the word Nope means in the movie or what we're looking at in that trailer that they're looking at any kind of uh exciting anything yeah i mean look it's uh the it's a it's a i'll say this it's a it's a word that's said a lot in the movie and uh it it generally is something that you know part of the the notion of this movie movie is like we got a big budget flying saucer movie with black people in the lead.
That to me in itself, you know, there's no need to really dig further in terms of how to push the conversation than to just fucking do it, right? That should just be on the one sheet, by the way. Does it? Right.
If you want to. Yeah.
Well, and then, I mean, it kind of is. It's like the nope part of it is, I think, an acknowledgement that, you know, it is a different movie.
You can't just make the same movie. Yeah.
You know, and there is an experience that people want to see deal with this shit as well. And, you know, I...
And I would also say it's a film that feels like it's a concept in a way. But, you know, there is also an acronym to it that I think a lot of people online have sort of pieced together.
Well, I think I know what it is. You want to guess? You go for it.
I guess, and you don't have to say yes or no. Not of planet Earth.
Yeah. Whoa.
Yeah. Did you just know that, Will? Yeah, I just guessed it.
You're not that smart. Yeah, I am.
I thought you were going to say something funny and wrong. Not a planet Earth is pretty good.

But that was not funny and right.

Wait, how in the world did you, I would have never.

That's got to be it.

You fucking idiot.

All right.

Well, that's the end of the interview.

Thanks for all.

I don't need to see anything.

No, I just guessed it.

I'm good at Wordle and Quirtle and Octortle.

That's pretty wild.

Yeah, you sure are for this guy.

That's really good.

All right.

Now, because of getting back to sort of your taste, your radar for uniqueness and originality, what are you watching? What are you reading? I was going to ask the same. Who are you talking to that keeps that sharp, that keeps you kind of not postmodern, but knowing where the next idea is going to come from that's going to make the last idea seem not so original? It's a great question.
I mean, there's so much immersion into my own, up my own ass that it's hard to... You say you smoke a lot of weed.
Is that what you're going to say? It's as simple as just getting the right strain of indica. Well, oh, and I see what you're saying.
Even when I'm fucking well yes first of all yes when i'm coming up with shit that's that is kind of an important part of piece of the puzzle you know i like uh anime okay because anime is just high concept world building that is pulled off so well there's these big swings swings and there's, there's a, it's a, it's a great way to free yourself and say, look, you can tell a fucking crazy story and people do pull that shit off. Right.
You know, there are storytellers in the world that are pulling off really crazy things that are super popular. Right.
And so that's, that's one, one place. so you animate are you watching any comedy i find it hard to watch comedy i don't know why i know right i know it's broken it's broken i mean i think it's probably broken for us but maybe tell me why yeah where is it is it on television or is it in film right now or is it on stage is it stand-up is it um where is where's

funny shit happening some funny shit i mean you know what's funny is uh pen 15 is funny yes i just worked with gabe liedman who created that show in another show yeah okay it's great yeah um i don't know i don't know you know yeah i haven't seen shit i haven't seen shit but it is it's it's i i do feel like we've been in this weird comedy drought where people want to laugh but uh some somehow it's hard well isn't it a lot like it's just become fragmented with tiktok and instagram and stuff where you can get your comedy uh fill through 10 5 second 10 second things so people are maybe uh not so um inclined to go tune into an entire series i don't

know just throwing that out there idea well i do know sean i think that you're right i know that

from my own experience in dealing with streamers that they tell us that you know they have a hard

time getting people to stay through and watch multiple multiple episodes in comedy it's really

really really really difficult crazy i know we'll be right back

Thank you. through and watch multiple episodes in comedy.
It's really, really, really, really difficult. It's crazy.
I know. We'll be right back.

in Santa Clarita, perhaps, as the website says, right?

By the way, guys, what you need to know, I don't, correct me if I'm wrong here, Jordan.

This is the first time that a film has an amusement park there at Universal Studios Tour being released, germane to the movie, on the same day the movie is being released. Usually a movie has to earn that by becoming super, super successful, and then four, five, six years later, they have like a ride.
He's got a— you explain it, Jordan, but it's incredible what he's done here. Mark? Explain a little bit about it.
I mean, yeah, a big deal for me. I'm in Universal Studios.
I remember going when I was 12. It's cool, you know, you see like fake.
It's like the experience, like the fake version of what it means to make a movie, you know? It's like, this is where you know jaws was shot it's like no it's not but it's like yeah it's meant to look psycho house and so yeah the whole like artifice of it that was jason's backyard like jason played there when he was a kid no joke no joke that's where he is that true yes yeah just do it silver spoons and it's your move. Me and Ricky would fart around back there on our brakes, on our bikes.
Anyway, go ahead. How about that? So you know how, I mean, and when I went for the first time, I was just blown away.
And so now, I mean, look, we're on the lot now, and just feel that magic again. And, yeah, we've got, you know, Stephen Yeun's character, Drew Park in the film has an amusement park called Jupiter's Claim.
And it's one of the centerpieces of the film. And so that's going to be on the studio tour.
Oh, wow. Like fucking in between the Psycho House and Jaws.
That's so cool. That's so cool.
And is it sort of without giving away anything with the movie, is sort of is the ride of this place, is it kind of like a haunted house or a fun house kind of, like the website is that you can kind of click around on? You know, like all of the things on that tour, there is going to be a certain amount of interactivity. Got it.
Okay. But, you know, it's, but the thing that, you know, real movie nerds are going to geek about upon the hopeful embrace of this film is just that it's there.
Yeah. That's so cool.
That's so cool. They did that.
That is really, really awesome. Yeah.
Now, do you have to fly around and do a bunch of promotion for this, or are you able to do it all with Zoom nowadays with the COVID, or they got you on a world tour or something? I'm going to do a tour. Yeah.
I'm going to do, they're going to cart me away to some places. I'm just going to shut my eyes and open them and try to figure out where I am.
And then do you like to take some downtime before you start writing the next thing or are you already underway with that? You know, writing is kind of, I mean, it is the downtime. There's nothing more fun than being in those early stages of what is really the next one.
I mean, it's a very relaxing, if I'm doing it right, it's a very freeing month.

Do you want to, like, stay in the horror genre for a while? Or is there some kind of dream of, like, wanting to do something completely, you know, left turn? A musical. You know, one of the things that has been fun in my journey in these first three films has been a little bit of the deconstruction of what I feel like genre is and what the what the role of genre is in storytelling I like this yeah you'd like this not check this one out well so in that first one in that first one I was really using a very specific type of suspense thriller genre trope, trope.
Yeah, yeah. And, you know, Get Out, it fits in that world.
And so that helps the pieces of it, I think, that are outside of the box sing because there is a checkpoint, there's a genre checkpoint. That's a genre I think used very well, at least for, you know, it worked.
So then, you know, us, I really kind of focused on the horror idea, you know, and the specificness of, no, something a little bit more threatening to the core of existence and scary in that way. And in a lot of ways worked within that genre as well.
You know, with this one, I feel like this idea that's been bubbling in these other two films with Nope, I think, has come into fruition where I can't really pin it down to a genre anymore. It kind of, it is all things, And I think I probably could do that.
But you've always, you've kind of delved into a lot of bigger issues and I would suggest, I didn't even think of Get Out as a horror movie at all. And I'm saying horror.
I didn't think of it as a horror movie at all. I thought of, I mean, it is, I guess.
It's like a thriller. Yeah, it's a thriller.
But you, you, I mean, it'd be hard, you know, you're dealing with a lot of like big issues. You're asking a lot of questions and you're, and you're making some, you're, you're bringing up a lot of things that I think make some people uncomfortable.
And I think you're doing it in a way you're serving it in a way that is like, maybe seems familiar to them, but then you're like, well, but guess what, motherfucker, you better think about this shit and and think about what what the experience is other people who aren't you may be having and you kind of do it and maybe us is about like our own uh you sort of mentioned it like it's very sort of an existential question about you know as human beings and blah blah blah i like the idea that you're you're like, I guess they're in horror,

but you're dealing with a lot of pretty fucking big universal issues.

It doesn't seem like you set out to make a horror movie or a genre movie.

You're making, it seems like you're leading with theme

and then kind of backing into, well, maybe this medicine will go down well

if we wrap it up with something that's a little bit kind of scary here or sci-fi here. I withdraw my question.
No, but I mean, in the same way that you lampooned it, when you did Key and Peele, man, you did a lot of, you took on so many sketches that you did where you took on the idea of race and challenged it and did it from a different perspective in ways that were really funny, but also like really fucking right on the fucking money, man. And you've kind of, you're kind of doing that same thing, but now in it, you're doing it in film and you're using, I mean, I sound like, now I sound like Babin, but you're using light and you're using, no, and you're, you're doing it in a cinematic way.
Like you're, I like. I think that you defy genre.

So anybody who says that Jordan Peele is this, I say, fuck that.

He's everything.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

And at the same time, just to stress, I think a lot of people,

if I make any sort of distinctions from the horror genre at all,

a lot of people think a horror is a bad word. Sure.
I think it's actually the greatest genre. And I think it is one that I'm honored to take part in.
The true, I have to say, the true spirit of great horror is really to fuck somebody up on some terror level that I still have not sort of approached the darkness that is needed. So I just have so much respect for horror and I'm honored to be a part of it.
Yeah, and I didn't mean to suggest that it wasn't worthy at all as genres go. It's fucking great.

I agree with you.

I'm just saying that I think that what you do kind of transcends the idea of genre.

Yeah, and it seems like you're using it or attracted to it because of its power and its accelerant for whatever sort of human condition story you're talking about.

Like, you know, when you mentioned Kubrick, like you think about, you know, the only thing that he ever did that was close to horror was The Shining.

And this is... condition story you're talking about like you know when you mentioned kubrick like you think about you know the only thing that he ever did that was close to horror was the shining and there wasn't a lot of that wasn't you know there wasn't some slasher film you know that you know a bunch of jump scares it was just deeply unsettling but it was earned through its filmmaking through its acting through its writing through its cinematic elements i mean like that's what you do you're not like anybody can like make a big sound and do a big you know fucking snap zoom or whip pan and like scare somebody you know like you're not doing that you're creating these environments that are unsettling and that's not easy to do and i just i think you're just like like the most exciting filmmaker we've got right now.
Thank you man look, you guys are fucking awesome, I mean I think you know just the last... Do you have any shit stories? Yeah, shit as in as in what You ever been on a set in the middle of nowhere and you really got out of the bathroom but there's nothing around? There we go, Sean's gonna walk you right through it On a No, no.
I'm kidding. We're just bullshitting.
No, but no, I mean, let's just talk about the set portos for a second. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know? Yeah, because you keep it real, right? You say, no, no, I don't want the double pop-out thing. Just get me a honey wagon, something more.
Yeah, but you can't make it back to the honey. You can't make it back? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you're talking about one of those fucking four pies?

Yeah, he means the four pies.

One of those four slots?

Jason doesn't have the, he doesn't even know what he's talking about

because he goes to the bathroom once in the morning before a shower,

and then he's never running the risk of going to the bathroom on set.

Ever.

Ever.

Well, I don't, there's not a lot of animals on the planet that need to empty more than once a day, Will. Yeah, so you guys have a difference in regularity.
Yes, there's a difference in regularity. Well, listen, I'm sorry to end on such a low point, but you've been very generous talking to us, even just agreeing to do the show, period.

Yeah, dude, Jordan, we're such fans, man.

I've been a fan of yours from everything you do.

I love what you do.

You're such a cool guy, and you haven't changed an iota,

so that's a great testament.

You're a good dude.

Yeah, keep charging, please.

Thank you, man.

You guys, yeah.

On and on.

I love you.

Love you.

This is great.

I really hope I can come see you guys again. and on i love you love this is great i i really hope i can uh come come see you guys again yeah um fuck less more i'll come up that scat story yeah good good best of luck with uh with nope uh i'm gonna be first in line and um hurry up and make more please yeah and just to you know just to take the james cameron approach for a second i you know i'm finishing this movie right now.
It will make your eyes melt out of the back of your eye sockets, fall down in through your nasals, down your esophageals. This is you selling the film right now? You scat it out, and then you fucking eat your eyes shit.
We've got our quote. And then you can see your own fucking heart pulse racing.
Save it for the junket, Jordan. You're wasting all the good stuff.
That's it. You got the exclusive hot take.
No, no. I just want to stress it's going to be a fucking spectacle.
Yeah. I can't wait, man.
I cannot wait. It looks so, so good.
Can't wait for you guys to see it. All right, man.
Best of luck. Thank you for coming on.
And we'll talk to you on the next one. Thank you, guys, honestly.
Thank you, Jard. Thank you, man.
I really, I could give you guys each, I know, Will, I know you, I could give you guys each fucking solid half hour on notes and how much I how much i love your how much i love your work and so i didn't want to write back you guys you guys are all just fantastic i hope to hang yeah man thanks pal that would be great luck dude take care jordan bye buddy cool wow that jordan peele that jordan peele he has turned the movie movie industry on his goddamn head. He barged his way into films, didn't he? Yeah.
Yeah, it just kicked the door open and it stayed open. And now he's bringing us, I mean, the horror genre is like one of the few genres that's working in theaters still.
Thank God. Yeah,'s also but he's also doing it in such a cinematic way and he's like social themes that are in it so he's so fucking smart you can't write a show like key and peel and do that so consistently and so and have it be so good and so funny for all those years and not be a fucking brilliant guy and yeah just shown again i hope he wasn't like offended when i said you know that we knew him from all this stuff and then get out came out i was like wow jordan like didn't god no he's like no way i mean i was offended he wasn't i was yeah no i could see it in will's face but not jordan um he's got he's got to know that he's got to i mean i'm sure i would hope that that that was part of his excitement too.
That like, you know, whenever you excel at something you're not known for, it's got to be a thrill. Yeah, it's a thrill.
And so... Also, like, yeah, you can't be mad if you're like some person who came, not him, I don't mean him specifically, but you could see how people would be like, well, yeah, I've always thought I was great.
Yeah, well, we didn't know. Yeah, great now we're finding out that yeah you're great yeah exactly but i don't even mean that for him i do think that what he did before i i always thought you know writing really consistently good funny sketch like that doing it in that way is so hard so fucking you guys know it's almost impossible sketch is so uneven and uneven and rarely people always go like, oh, I remember SNL back in the day.
It used to be way better than it is now. It was funnier all the time.
Like, no, there was always, if you had one good sketch, an episode, success. Yeah, for sure.
And Key and Peele, now they didn't do it live, but they would have just brilliant. It was just brilliant.
Anyway.

I have a question about the Dodger game.

Yeah.

So how long?

Wait a second.

Wait a second.

You want to talk about tonight's plans in front of our audience right now?

Go ahead, Sean.

They'd love to hear it.

What route are you taking and what are you going to wear?

What lot are you in?

Do they have egg salad there, do you think, or should I eat before I leave?

By the way, all questions I have. Yeah.
let's hear it. How long is the game? Oh, boy.
Oh, my God, he wants to leave already. No, no.
You haven't even left your house yet. You're getting ready to leave.
I want to watch Get Out tonight. I didn't say how long is each half.
It's roughly three hours. But, you know, you only need to dip in and dip out for about an hour.
No, I'm excited to go. That's probably all we're going to do because I'm bringing maple.
Oh, fun. And probably the shorter attention span is Amanda.
In fact, she may actually even flake. I can't believe that you got Amanda to go.
No, Amanda will go. Well, because it's a luxury suite.
So she can be up there and watching the TV and having snacks and sitting on a couch. It's a luxury suite.
I'm just imagining that Paul McCartney explaining to somebody who he loves who he calls sweet. Why all of a sudden are we talking? It's a luxury suite.
Sorry, because we're back. It's a luxury suite.
Did you find a gummy store there in the Hamptons, Will? No, it does seem like a very high thing to say. Are you going to bring your own food, Jace, or are you going to get there? No, hang on a second.
Buy it! Buy it! Oh. Buy it! I love Sean's...
He always goes high with it, and he repeats it. Sean, we're having a conversation over here, and you're trying to do a buy on your own.
You didn't have a hard out? What if I just slam my lap? I guess bye. I guess that's...
Well, better answered here. You know, you will be out by 10 o'clock tonight.
Bye. Bye.

Not more than I am. I cannot wait.
Impossible. Yeah.
Okay. Honored.
Honored. So you've met Bennett and Rob.
I am sorry. I met these guys.
On Jason's behalf, we apologize for us. The weird part is that bennett play any musical instrument at all that is i don't believe that's the shocking part no no no these are just cg backgrounds i don't believe it yeah i don't believe this is a jam band that produced a new hard time rob that's that's a real strong t-shirt you're bringing today oh yeah show them the bottom show them the.
Show them the other stuff. The in the studio.
Oh, straight Zimmer. The in the studio behind the Pro Tools rig is the best.
Is he playing a keytar on the back? I love it. It really is like, you know, it really is a very bootleg Hans Zimmer shirt.
We went to Disneyland for Rob and Drea's birthday recently.

They were both wearing this shirt at Disneyland matching.

God.

Can I tell you something? I also have a shirt that has Hans Zimmer's face and the name Hans Zimmer on it.

No way.

It's just a completely different shirt.

I'm not joking.

I'm not lying.

I do.

The idea that there's actually two shirts in existence on the planet that have Hans Zimmer's name and face on it and the two dudes that have them. Yeah.
That's a shock. There's very little I can do to actually make it clear that I do have that, but I do have that.
Kismet. Is Kismet? Should we let Will Arnett in the room? Yeah, let him in.
I'm going dark. Go dark.
All right. Awesome.
