We talk about Jordan Peele’s films “Get Out” and “Us,” how he’s challenging the representations of black characters in horror film, and how the themes and tropes of horror have changed in the films of the past decade. This episode features Dr. Andrew Scahill and the students of Dr. Sarah Hagelin’s film theory class from UC Denver and Kyle Harris from Westword.
