Jordan Peele's latest project Nope gallops into theaters this weekend and he gives audiences a great deal to talk about and chew on. Peele started his career with strong roots in Chicago and The Second City then later made his first film Get Out to high critical acclaim. His second horror film Us had some standout moments and his third Nope is a mix of the two previous works in terms of the good, the bad and the ugly.
Everyone can appreciate his directorial deals with Black representation in a genre that was sorely lacking and his pop culture references remain important while still being fun. His films are chock full of Easter eggs and watchers can play along and hunt for hidden props and set pieces along the way while taking the journey. This is a brilliant and fun tactic that encourages repeat viewings of all of Peele's projects.
