It’s time for.....US. We dive into Jordan Peele’s 2019 slasher and talk about race, national trauma, and Eric’s extreme customer service energy. Jaime gets hyped and continues to break the format, while Eric is both baffled and delighted. Get ready to not think about it too hard with us.
Content Warnings: Doppelgängers, unreality, fate, strangling, general slasher shenanigans, white supremacy, and briefly, the COVID 19 pandemic.
