Hunters Season 2 Review: An Uneven, But Never Boring, Conclusion to the Prime Video Series
The Pitch: If there’s one thing most of us can agree on, it’s that Nazis are bad. But what kind of justice does a Nazi deserve? That’s the ethical question underlying the second and final season of Hunters, the Jordan Peele-produced and very peculiar Prime Video thriller series about a ’70s-era vigilante force formed around one goal: track down all the Nazis who evaded persecution after World War II, and use the efficiency of bullets to stop them for good. Created by David Weil, Hunters is coming to a close after only 18 episodes, which somehow seems simultaneously like too many episodes and too few. But while suffering from writing issues and a lack of consistency in tone, there are moments of dialogue, performances, and in one case an entire episode which reveal the underlying potential ...
Jordan Peele Says He “Very Creepily” Bought Corey Feldman’s Stand by Me Ear
Jordan Peele opened up about his recent friendship with Corey Feldman during his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thursday, revealing that he was such a fan of the actor that he “very creepily” bought the prosthetic ear Feldman wore in Stand by Me when it was put up for auction. “I’m happy to consider him a friend,” Peele said about working with the former teen idol for an upcoming film series at New York City’s Lincoln Center. “There was a whole thing where he was auctioning the ear that he wore as Teddy on Stand by Me and I guess I very creepily bought it. In saying it out loud, I realize how creepy it was. That’s not the thing you should share.” As it turns out, though, Feldman was actually glad to find out Peele bought the ear when it was auctioned off as a “hybrid NFT...

Animation Legend Henry Selick on What He’s Learned From The Nightmare Before Christmas to Wendell & Wild
Director Henry Selick clearly has a soft spot for the spookiest time of year, having brought The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, and now the new Netflix animated adventure Wendell & Wild to the screen. But here’s his favorite part of Halloween these days: getting to see trick-or-treaters in familiar costumes while distributing candy at his home. “I was delighted when more and more kids start showing up as Nightmare Before Christmas characters and then some Coraline characters,” he tells Consequence. “That’s my favorite, is kids dressed up as characters from films that I’ve worked on.” The best part is that the kids don’t know whose house they’ve arrived at, and, says Selick, “I’ve got a lot of puppets and memorabilia from all the films. So if the kids are dressed up like Nightmar...

‘NOPE’ Sequel?: Jordan Peele Teases A Potential Follow-Up To His Latest Thriller Could Happen
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / Universal Pictures Jordan Peele hasn’t dropped a sequel to any of his blockbusters, but he could break that trend with NOPE. NOPE was another huge box office success for Jordan Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions and, like his other films, left viewers amazed and simultaneously questioning what they just witnessed. The film’s ending was pretty straightforward and didn’t have many moviegoers screaming for Peele to get to work on a sequel. Still, some questions remained, specifically about an IMDB-listed character called “Nobody,” played by actor Michael Busch. Related Stories Speaking with the New York Times, Peele touched on that mystery character, those fun fan theories his films always produce, and the idea that NOPE could see a sequel. “The s...
Nope Ending Explained: Was That Really a UFO? And Other Questions
Opening with a Bible passage from Nahum Chapter 3, Verse 6 — “I will pelt you with filth, I will treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle” — Jordan Peele’s third film, Nope, is a lot of things: an examination of man versus nature, a story of trying to move on after the death of a parent, and, oh yeah, an exhilarating horror-infused romp, focused around a mysterious and deadly invader from (one assumes) outer space. Peele keeps things pretty close to the chest as to the origins of his central creation, instead putting the focus on how Southern California horse trainer O.J. (Daniel Kaluuya), his sister Emerald (Keke Palmer), an electronics store employee named Angel (Brandon Perea), and determined cinematographer Antlers Holst (Michael Wincott) team up to not just survive the attacks...

Jordan Peele Remains Humble Despite His Box Office Wins Films like Get Out and Us put Jordan Peele on the map regarding horror directors and, based on the reactions to Nope, should already cement his status as a legendary horror film director, well, at least to some fans. Related Stories While fans are eager to anoint Peele as the GOAT of horror films, Jordan Peele remains humble despite his box office successes and tells them to pump the breaks on coronating him.

Jordan Peele’s Nope Is Dazzling, Self-Reflective Horror Blockbuster Spectacle: Review
The Pitch: In the rolling hilly countryside outside Los Angeles city limits, the Haywoods — descended from the first Black horserider/stuntman/movie star to ever be captured in motion — try to make ends meet as Hollywood horse wranglers. But when the family patriarch (Keith David, radiant as always) dies from a freak accident, the task is left to introverted Otis Jr., or OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) to keep the family ranch afloat, with the reluctant help of his fast-talking, hustle-happy sister Emerald (Keke Palmer). At first, they resort to selling off the family horses to nearby Jupiter’s Claim, a hokey Wild West-themed amusement park run by former child star Ricky (Steven Yeun). But fortunes start to change when they realize there’s something above them, in the clouds, scaring the horses and sh...
