I read A review that said his movie was an anti- socialist movie

‘I want to make a $20 million horror movie with a black family.’ And they say yes.”

Ain’t nobody going to believe it

“This is a perfect house for us, I think we want to..”
Voice: “Get Out’
“Leave. I’ll go start the car”.

“I heard a noise in the basement. Let’s go down and check it out”
“You going down there by yourself, bidj. I’ll be up here packing”.

Oh Jordan...you are a biracial man married to a white woman and you do not see yourself casing a white dude as the lead? Why not?

I don’t see myself watching any of this guy’s movies, especially not paying money to see anything he produces.

I feel fortunate to be in this position where I can say to Jordan Peele, ‘I want to spend $0.00 on any of your movies.’

Us is really good. One of the best crafted films of its kind in a while.

Why is it that Tyler Perry makes movies with pretty much an all-black cast, but he keeps his mouth shut about it, he just does his work.

Apparently this Eddie Murphy routine was the inspiration for the movie.

As a “white dude,” ( who is in no danger of ever being cast in any roll in any movie) I don’t see myself purchasing tickets to any Peele movie.

one would think that the US film industry is the only film industry in the world the way some people play ‘savior’

Exactly... put whoever you want in it .. that is freedom.... just don’t expect others to put specific people in their movies.

This is all fake. Jordan's mom is white. His first writing partner was white. His wife is white. He went to a top Manhattan prep school and Sarah Lawrence.

Jordan's comedy partner Keegan-Michael Key has a white birth mom, an white adoptive mom, a white ex-wife and a white wife. Just to bring it all back around, Jordan's wife has a black stepmom.

What Jordan is saying is just to sell movies. Don't be taken in by this BS.
