#87: RE-RELEASE - GET OUT Oct 23, 2023

Show notes

We had some technical difficulties this week but we didn't want to leave you without an episode for Heavy Hitter Halloween so we bring you an oldie but a goodie from Patron Saint of the Pod Jordan Peele, GET OUT.

We're back for another Heavy Hitters October and we're kicking the month off with the modern-day classic from 2017, GET OUT (dir. Jordan Peele). We're joined by our beloveds, Alannah and Evan, in this one! We talk about interracial dating, lacrosse, and the high key genius of Mr. Peele. Special appearance by Hendrix, the cockachon!
