  ‘Wet Hot American Summer’ is a fairly funny spoof of Y2K-era sex comedies with performances from comedic legends.

  Get Out 2017

  ★★★★★ Watched 05 Dec 2024

  Peele’s Get Out is a nightmarishly metaphorical slippery slope of Kaluuya trusting the oh-so-innocent liberal “colourblind”, much like other progressives and racialised people. 

  A good range of the micro aggressions black men experience are explored here; from the sexualisation of them to the policing bias they face. And much like those micro aggressions, the little creepy instances add up to an exhausting experience. 
  Also slightly touches on the lack of attention given to missing racialised people compared with white women and girls. 
  Loved the complete subversion of the white saviour trope and how this time around there’s actually no white characters that are ‘good’.
