Each week writers & movie-lovers Neena and LB revisit and discuss the best of Black cinema with their own brand of entertainment. Whether checking out classics, the newest releases, or the streamers, they'll breakdown their favorite scenes and characters while creating their list of the 100 best Black films.
When Get Out hit theaters in 2017, it changed Black horror forever and walked away with an Oscar. But nearly a decade later, does Jordan Peele’s masterpiece actually play it safer than we remember? Today on The Black Movie Podcast, we’re putting Get Out through our 5-part rubric to decide if it belongs in the sacred Top 10 of the 100 Best Black Movies of All Time, or if pulling its darkest punch at the end costs it the crown.
We debate the infamous deleted prison ending versus Lil Rel’s TSA rescue, break down whether the satire was built to comfort mainstream audiences, hand out our awards for Best Scene, and revisit Samuel L. Jackson’s viral casting controversy.
