Greg Alba & Andrew Gordon dive into Jordan Peele’s Oscar-winning 2017 social horror / thriller Get Out! This critically acclaimed film follows Chris Washington, played by Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah, Black Panther), a young Black man who visits the family estate of his white girlfriend Rose Armitage, portrayed by Allison Williams (Girls, M3GAN). At first, the trip seems like an awkward but typical “meet the parents” scenario with Rose’s seemingly friendly mother Missy Armitage (Catherine Keener, Capote, Being John Malkovich) and father Dean Armitage (Bradley Whitford, The West Wing, The Handmaid’s Tale). But soon, Chris uncovers a terrifying secret involving hypnosis, body snatching, and the sinister Coagula Procedure. The supporting cast includes Caleb Landry Jones (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) as Rose’s unsettling brother Jeremy, Lakeith Stanfield (Sorry to Bother You, Atlanta) as the mysterious Andre/Logan, Lil Rel Howery (Free Guy, Vacation Friends) delivering comic relief as Chris’s TSA best friend Rod, and Stephen Root (Office Space, Barry) as blind art dealer Jim Hudson. Get Out became a cultural phenomenon with iconic moments like the chilling “sunken place” hypnosis scene, the eerie garden party sequence with the “grandparents” living inside Black hosts, and the shocking twist of Rose’s betrayal. The film balances psychological dread with razor-sharp social commentary on race, privilege, and exploitation, making it one of the most discussed horror films of the 21st century. Join Greg & Andrew as they react to the film’s most haunting visuals, dissect its layered themes, and break down why Get Out remains a groundbreaking entry in both horror and social cinema. #GetOut #JordanPeele #DanielKaluuya #AllisonWilliams #SocialHorror #SunkenPlace #HorrorReaction #MovieReview #GregAlba #AndrewGordon #Peelverse #Horror #HorrorMovies #HorrorReaction #HIM #US #Nope #MonkeysPaw #Movie #Movies #TryNotToGetScared #Halloween #SocialThriller #React #ReactTo #Reaction Weapons (2025) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/-2Pwi8zyVRk Longlegs (2024) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/cDdayu4z9gg Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/ia_7ky3_czg Stranger Things 4, Episode 9 Finale Reaction: https://youtu.be/KiMHmhlTaRA Paranorman (2012) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/2TtwAZ0UcKk Follow Andrew Gordon On Socials: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovieSource Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/agor711/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/Agor711 Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba 0:00 Checking In! 1:39 Get Out Reaction 29:57 HUEL 31:29 Get Out Movie Reaction 59:07 Get Out Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

My read on the scene where Rose sticks up for him with the police officer after hitting the deer is she didn’t want the cop to see his ID. She knew he was going to be a missing person soon and likely didn’t want the police to know he’d been there.

My favorite thing about this movie is that once you know what going on, everything from the first act has a completely different meaning.

I’m just now realizing that Rose didn’t want the cop to see his Chris’s DL, because he would be missing and there would be a trace of where he was last scene 😮 They also didn’t want Chris smoking in order to keep his body healthy

Still to this day people talk about how great this movie is, but it’s also one of the greatest directorial debuts too.

I find it interesting that the mother used guilt to make him more susceptible to hypnosis, first by making him feel bad for smoking in front of her daughter and then making him feel responsible for his mother's death. Honing his attention to his guilt.
