Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Emmanuel Noisette of EMan's Movie Reviews descend the escalator into Jordan Peele's new horror film, Us! How does the writer/director's sophomore effort stack up to his smash debut, Get Out--and is it even fair to compare the two? How has Peele matured in his storytelling craft and the themes he wants to explore with audiences? And just what is the difference between a horror movie and a thriller?
The guys explore these hot topics, as well as the joys of leftover ice cream in this enlightening, spoilerific discussion!
Also, Ian recommends Bartle Bull's outstanding boxing documentary Cradle of Champions (available now on-demand), and teases a few of the films from the upcoming Chicago Critics Film Festival--now in its seventh year!
Episode 392 isn't afraid to run with scissors!
