“The maze is all that matters now…” - Dave Moss, The Man In Black
We’re back! After a week of our host being sick as a dog, Dom is back to break down Jordan Peele’s Us, as well as its larger place in the pop cultural conversation. Also, because he’s a dummy, there’s a whole bit talking explicitly about how he got the movie’s ending so damned wrong.
*****SPOILER TALK BETWEEN 20:13 & 24:47*****
Dom’s review of Us: https://spectrumculture.com/2019/03/21/us/
K. Austin Collins’ (significantly more well written) review of Us: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/03/jordan-peeles-us-dont-overthink-it
A spoiler-filled breakdown of Us from Shadow & Act: https://shadowandact.com/the-ending-of-us-explained-review
