This analysis effectively elevates the reaction genre by grounding Peele’s visceral horror in a sophisticated discussion of class and identity. It offers a sharp, overdue validation of Lupita Nyong’o’s performance as a masterclass in psychological duality.

US (2019) *REACTION* A MASTERCLASS IN PERFORMANCE & PERSPECTIVE! (a WHERE WAS HER OSCAR? commentary)
Added:[music] Hey, Petty Pumpkins. It's Chay and Wes.
We're back and we are so sad for a commentary on Jordan Peels: Us.
>> Now, obviously, we have seen us before.
Okay, >> not have seen us.
>> We were just as obsessed with Get Out as everyone else was when it came out.
>> We were sat that first day in the theater ready to be tethered, >> baby. Like we were anticipating the hell out of this movie. We went to see it in theaters multiple times, >> but it's been a minute since we've seen it.
>> It is. And it's our first time covering Jordan Peele on the channel. We are so excited for this reaction series. Um, and we've got some things coming up that you might not know about.
>> Yeah, Jordan Peele has really solidified himself in the horror genre of course.
And although we have already seen all of his movies, that doesn't mean that we can't take the time to celebrate him here at the Petty Pumpkin Patch. And we're going to do that today with some tethered girls.
>> Whether it's your first time watch or you're just here to get our commentary and theorize, we are so excited to watch this with you. But if you want to watch it with us in full length format, you can do so by joining our Patreon. It'll be in the $5 Party Pumpkin tier.
>> See y'all at the patch.
>> You know what? Maybe there will be little tethers of our patrons popping up too. We could >> double our Patreon.
>> Wow, >> that wouldn't be so bad.
>> I would love a double of everyone in the Patreon.
>> Me, too.
>> That's horrifying to think about.
>> No, it literally is. Maybe they should make a horror movie about it.
>> 12 million eyes, 192 the to the Twin Towers. It's hands across America.
>> Wow.
>> Good Samaritans standing hand in hand from sea to shining sea. That's right.
This summer people will tether themselves together to fight hunger in the United States. Visit your local record shop to find out how you can be a part of Hands Across America.
>> Wow. Something so innocent turned deadly.
>> Isn't that how it always goes?
>> Some heat on that one.
>> Yeah, I guess I'll miss my chance to go.
This is such a good summer wean movie.
Also, >> right now you could walk away with a prize from the second level or you could keep going for a prize from the third level.
>> Okay. What do you think?
>> Go all the way.
>> Don't look at me. It's your birthday.
>> I won number 11.
>> Yeah, >> that one.
>> Yeah.
>> Got to get to Thriller T.
>> She's an MJ stand.
>> That shirt better not give her nightmares.
>> Oh, >> she was terrified. I came on. I mean, >> she's about to be living a nightmare.
Know that.
>> Hey, how about the Big Dipper at it? You want to try it?
>> Russell, you know she's not big enough to do that. Not sure as hell I'm not doing this soap.
>> Russell, can you watch your daughter, please?
>> I'll watch it.
>> Baby, stay close. Okay.
>> Oh, and that candy apple.
>> It looks so good.
>> Catches my eye every time.
>> Jeremiah 11:11.
>> She's brave.
>> Is this all daddy's fault when you really think about it?
>> Yeah. I mean, the mother said, "Watch your daughter."
>> And he simply forgot about her immediately.
Now that's the real horror out there in the ocean. Where's the Jordan Peele? I don't know. Waves. Ocean horror.
>> We need a Waves movie from >> Waves. Something coastal. Vision Quest.
>> Find yourself >> or your other self.
>> That's crazy.
>> The way Oh, damn. Wasted. She didn't even took a bite. She was just licking on it.
>> That is tragic.
I also just think this little girl is so good with almost no dialogue. But she's telling a story, babe.
>> It's the way we've all been here in some capacity, but never like this.
>> No.
>> Mm- >> girl.
>> And she's she's off like off key.
>> Damn. Get her while she's down, babe.
>> She's just like right under her.
Oh my god, that scared me.
Oh my god, I forgot about this opening.
>> Y'all, we listen to this song sometimes before we film.
>> This is so culty.
>> And I would love to know the logistics of like how the little girl got in the fun house, but I just, you know, >> we don't get to know the juicy details.
>> I don't need the details, I guess. They said, "Use your imagination, sweetheart." Wow.
>> Wow. We really did it. We're doing our big one.
>> Yeah, we sure are. Is this Jordan's big one? Probably not because he won an Oscar for Get Out.
>> Yeah, Get Out was his big one.
>> Written, produced, and directed by Jordan Peele.
>> He said, "Baby, I am the group project."
Okay, >> it's me.
>> We made it.
>> Oh, sleep, >> boy.
>> That's the best feeling. Waking up and you're already there. Look, look, look.
>> Oh, no.
>> Who taught him that?
>> Dabbing. Help.
>> Where did he learn that?
>> Dude, >> the Wi-Fi is not working.
>> You don't need the internet. You got the internet.
>> Not the inner and outer.
>> Wow. [laughter] Help.
>> This movie already has so many layers.
>> Mhm.
>> You don't want to run anymore.
>> You love track and field.
>> What's the point?
>> The Olympics.
>> I'm not going to make it to the Olympics, guys.
>> You could do anything you set your mind to. Karen Hilly drove with parent supervision.
Well, you don't need to know how to drive when you're an Olympic caliber athlete.
>> My god.
>> You're right.
>> Practice on the beach. You get on dry land. You take off.
>> We're going to the beach.
>> Yeah. Well, later once we get settled.
>> What beach?
>> Santa Cruz. Josh, Kitty, and the girls are going to be there.
>> So much enthusiasm across the board.
>> Magic trick. I left it here last year.
>> Okay, I'll see you.
>> This thing's kind of [ __ ] Hey, were we cursing at the table now?
>> When you point her finger at someone else, you have three point back at you.
>> Oh, y'all remember that?
>> Mhm. Okay.
>> I think she has post-traumatic stress disorder.
>> She wasn't in denial. Okay. She got lost.
>> Anything could have happened to her.
>> So, how how do we get her to talk?
>> Like, I think we need to encourage her to draw, to write, to dance, anything to help her tell us her story.
>> Just want my little girl.
>> So, sorry, mother. It's not looking good. And it's like, what happened to her? Is she still out there?
>> Typical man doesn't process his emotions.
>> Like, yeah, I don't I didn't think we were done here.
>> Words >> like and I love you.
>> Are you okay?
>> Pull your hair.
>> He has some kind of barrier that he needs to work through.
>> I mean, granted, it's not his daughter.
[laughter] But he doesn't know that.
>> And don't go to the beach.
>> What about the beach right here?
>> What beach?
>> There is a beach right there.
>> That is not a beach. That is a bay. That is a shore. I'm talking about a real beach with people and sand and amusement park.
>> There's like it's crowded there.
[snorts] And like there's weirdos at that beach.
>> I'm not going to that beach.
>> She's so relatable.
>> Lots of weirdos.
>> Cancel that.
>> Hermo is go on vacation. Get there. Read a book.
>> And I relate. It's the first time I've been back here since grandma died. I know it's been pretty hard on him.
>> We leave before dark.
>> Yeah.
>> Yes.
>> That's when the creepy things start to happen.
>> It's going to be great. You're going to enjoy it.
>> Mhm.
>> She's come so far from, you know, how we saw her.
>> Mhm.
>> She learned English.
>> Oh my god. [laughter] >> Gotcha. Oh.
There she is.
Miss Twinkletoes herself.
>> That's mean.
>> It's what he has to pay as his dues as a little brother.
>> No, >> her little trans as she goes in are they're scary. Baby, that's why you can't play in here. Didn't this happen last year? Zora, please.
>> Well, girl, did you do the same thing last year? Probably.
>> Oh my god.
>> That's right. What do you think? Daddy is home, baby.
>> I'd write it.
>> Got one of these.
>> Oh, you're going to need need that later.
>> It veers a little to the left, so you got to hold on to it.
>> Uh-uh. Sir, >> I don't do water. So, uh, >> guess I got it really cheap.
>> We all fit though.
>> You know what? Y'all spoiled.
>> You're really spoiling us, Daddy, with this yacht you've gotten for us.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I do think Winston's actually like so cute and funny, though. I love that.
>> Just wait till later. We'll see a little bit more of her.
>> Did you know that there's fluoride in the water that the government uses to control our minds?
>> She's been on Reddit.
>> I forgot. Nobody cares about the end of the world.
Maybe you could just tell us what's supposed to happen and then we can picture it.
>> Maybe you could kiss my anus.
>> E.
>> Whoa. Wow.
>> Why are we even talking about?
>> Why would you say that?
>> I would have actually preferred you use a curse word in this case.
>> Yeah.
>> Where did you even learn that?
>> Okay. We don't always have to be talking.
>> That's true. Remember that. We don't always have to be talking.
>> [singing] >> We haven't even said it, but Lupita, she's so [ __ ] cool. Welcome to the channel, Oscar winner.
>> So good. Such a talented woman.
>> Cruz.
>> Oh, she's going through it.
>> Mentally, she is somewhere else.
>> She's Santa Cruz in a way.
>> I can't even talk.
>> I want to talk about who can't talk.
>> What's going to happen?
>> If something happens, >> what's going to happen? Okay. She don't laugh.
Does he not see the literal trauma in her eyes?
>> Don't look. Is he dead? Don't look. You >> got to be kidding me.
>> That same guy.
>> That is wild. He has an aged day.
>> Sure. You want anything to drink?
>> No, I'm good.
>> Is delicious.
>> I'm sure. Yeah.
>> I love how awkward she is.
>> You guys have a good summer so far?
>> Yeah, it's been great.
>> You good?
Yeah, I have a hard time just, you know, talking.
>> Oh, I [laughter] get that.

>> That works.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Good.

>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Wow. Jordan Peele's mind >> like the the two will come together soon.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Perfect in sync harmony.
>> I'm like, wait, wasn't that the guy that was dead in the ambulance?
>> Weren't you bleeding out on a stretcher 5 minutes ago?
>> There's multiple of him around. Oh, is this his tethered?
>> Oh my god, it is. He's literally wearing red [ __ ] suit.

>> Yeah, especially when it's been a while.
>> Oh, he did something bad.
>> Sir, where those fingers been?
>> Go back to our place. Why did it feel so good?
>> Oh, yeah. Definitely.
>> Jason, where's Jason? Gabe, where's Jason?

>> Okay. Well, whatever happened happened a long time ago, right?
>> You know how sometimes things line up?

>> I I I I do. I do.
>> Oh, but you don't.

>> Sorry. My bad. Just trying to lighten a mood.
>> She break his wind pipe.

>> I'm an ombre stand.
>> A boy this time. The shadow had to do it all.

>> Mhm. If you get the color matching just right, it could be a nice look.
>> It's just her emotional support chapstick.
>> I get it. I really do.
>> She almost forgot about her.
>> She got a little caught up seeing that she was pretty.
>> Come on, scissor sisters.
She going to give her a little scar.
>> Nope.
>> Wow.
>> Can she smell that she's really one of them? Babe, >> I mean, she has to do this.
>> Like this video if you two feel the pressure of society to nip tuck yourself.
>> The beauty standards in this day and age are despicable.
>> Like, that's what she went straight to.
She got free and she started cutting her face open. Like, what? And it makes sense because >> she just did a little >> she she was talking about that she had a little plastic surgery done. This movie the small details are really amazing.
>> Yep.
>> And all the tethered wearing these weird sandals.
>> Yeah, they are weird. I kind of want some. How is this man still not not only thriving but actively killing?
>> Here's the flare gun, [ __ ] >> Okay. [laughter] Oh, she's wicked.
>> She's so good in this role, too.
>> Full range of emotions, you know.
>> Mhm.
>> Mhm. You know what to do, >> girl. Mom, wait till you find out what your daughter just did. You'd be so proud. Oh my [ __ ] god.
>> Oh no.
>> This is a lesson. Just swing.
>> Just swing, baby. No hesitation.
>> Woo. Yes.
>> Come on, Jason.
>> These [ __ ] kids mother. Oh, these kids she raised are iconic.
>> She raised are mothering.
>> They were mothering. They got five on it.
>> Why are they doing this?
>> The wild thing to think about is even the cops probably have tethers.
>> Yeah. Well, it's affecting the entire city and that's why the the 911's not picking up.
>> Even any cops that try to go help anyone, they're just going to get killed by their tethered >> and they haven't had time to watch the news. So, they don't know that it's happening everywhere. Go turn on that fancy ass TV.
>> It's a very concentrated movie. I like that. We don't really see a lot going on.
>> You said they were stabbing people.
>> Where did they come from?
>> What? I don't know. Someone said that they were coming from the sewers.
>> The sewers.
>> Okay. How many of >> Oh, even this reporter has a tethered.
>> Mhm. Ma'am, it's too early to say what exactly is unfolding, but it does appear we are in the midst of a brutal and terrifying attack by people who are being described as wearing red, carrying scissors or shears, and doing what can only be described as wreaking havoc on folks.
>> They look like us.
>> They don't even know that yet.
>> We have new individuals engaged in some sort of demonstration protest.
>> Hands across America.
They're just trying to be charitable.
>> They areforming what looks like them.
[clears throat] >> They're trying to make a difference in the world.
>> We have to go.
>> What? You're joking, right?
>> Zora, Jason, [laughter] where would we go?
>> The police, right? No, we need to move and keep moving. We take the coast. We go to Mexico.
>> Mexico?
>> No.
>> Like literally, yes.
>> What do you think?
>> We got everything we need here. Food, water, backup generator. We're as safe here as we're going to be anyway.
>> After Josh and Kitty, they're right here. You're scaring the kids.
>> Too late.
>> Your kids already murdered people, bro.
They're scared.
>> They won't stop until they kill us or we kill them.
>> Then let's make some traps or something.
Like some Home Alone type stuff. That way if she comes, >> tell me you did not just reference Home Alone.
>> You know what I'm talking about.
>> And you're going to go watch our reaction.
>> They've been planning this. They have the upper hand. This is the time to run.
Not to be sprinkling micro machines on the floor.
>> What are micro machines?
>> What's Home Alone? Oh god, >> they have failed his parents if she does not know how this kid to make the decisions anymore.
>> Damn.
>> Is he deciding what the kids are watching during Christmas time? Because there is no excuse for them to not know Kevin Macau.
>> Does this mean we get their car?
>> Girl, >> I think we're just sitting around her chilling.
>> She was probably just lying there waiting for them to leave so that she could strike.
>> [laughter] >> My god, [groaning] >> she might be the scariest thing in this movie. [laughter] [screaming] >> Oh. Mhm.
>> Come on, Jason. You know what you got to do, buddy. Oh, just kidding. Adelaide always stands on business, so we're going to >> I'm driving. No way.
>> Told her no. Dad's leg is messed up.
You're handcuffed. It's not safe. I'm driving.
>> Zora, no. I have the highest kill count in the family. You don't have the highest kill count. I killed both twins.
>> Wrong.
>> I just killed the second one.
>> I killed Kitty.
>> Oh, >> so that's one, one, one, and two. I killed two. I killed myself and Josh.
So, >> no.
>> I should put the windows up. Put the windows up.
>> Oh [ __ ] [laughter] >> That never ends.
>> Have you ever wanted to run yourself over? [laughter] You know what to do, >> girl. She's about to eat this.
>> You're been a woman.
>> You know, if you watch this movie through like the lens of this being your inner child that you're having to kill.
>> Whoa.
>> Oh my god.
>> Oh, [ __ ] [laughter] >> Where is she? Did I get her?
>> What?
>> She's real eager. That is hilarious.
She's bloodthirsty.
She's there. She's there. Jesus.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Careful.
>> Gas it, babe.
>> Mhm.
>> You're going too fast.
>> No.
>> She's dead now, right, >> honey?
No.
>> What are you doing, >> Mom? Where's she going? What? And she left.
>> Mama said, "Let me finish the job."
Yeah, she she's ready.
Oh, >> and this has to be hard for her. This is her daughter.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Time to continue disassociating, girl. You've gotten great at it.
>> And she's one of them.
>> Yeah. This is like really her her daughter in a way.
>> Mhm. It's such an insane thing to think about. She can't do it. It feels wrong to her on multiple levels. Her daughter.
Her kind. Well, she doesn't really have empathy for them cuz she has been just straight up brutally murdering them cuz she has to. But she understands them in a way that obviously no one else does.
>> She has such a strong sense of survival.
She'll do anything >> cuz she does not want to go back underground.
>> She doesn't even think about it. She just does it.
>> Is that our car? It's the window that looks like me.
>> [ __ ] >> Oh my god. Look at this lady just kilt over here on the right.
>> She never stood a chance.
>> Stay in the car. Lock the doors.
>> What is he trying to do? Talk to her.
Give her a kiss. Like she's on a mission.
>> Yeah, literally. And when mother's focused, you don't get in the way.
>> It's the way we have this Funko Pop. And we also have the Funko Pop of her with two faces.
>> We have all of them.
>> We have all the us Funko Pops.
Obviously, >> it's a trap.
>> Mhm.
Get out.
>> Brain cells for days.
This child is going to grow up to do some [ __ ] Oh, he really thought he was doing something with that.
>> They are tethered after all.
>> And this is a trick that I Why didn't anyone ever try this?
>> I know.
>> Oh my god, >> bro. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
>> Was no one. Dad, what were you doing?
>> The good thing is she knows exactly where to go.
>> Oh my god.
>> She's true.
>> Those people that are just standing in the water. That's wild.
>> Water logged. Sarah, you really just doing your big one, huh?
>> He's having a great day today.
>> Find yourself. It has a whole new meaning now. She's going to >> Here's the grand finale.
Yep.
>> Mr. Owl, a fire poker is such a good weapon for a movie >> cuz you can poke, you can hit, you know, it has different uses.
>> We're about to get the most iconic standoff, some of the best score.
>> I'm [ __ ] hyped. Some of the best third act.
>> Yeah.
>> Awesome climax.
>> I love a good climax.
>> And were the tethered just unmonitored?
Do they have a mutiny? Do they kill their >> Yeah.
>> oppressors? Like what happened? for me.
That's why like I think this may be my least favorite of the three Peele movies just because I don't I He didn't really give any answers for why >> unanswered questions.
>> And maybe we're not supposed to know, but I like to know something.
>> Like I need a little bit a little bit more.
>> It's just hard to believe no one has been down here >> or if they did come down here, they got eaten probably.
>> Yeah. And like how many people are living down here? Where are other people living?
>> And why is there access through the fun house? Like I want to know if this is happening all over town. Was everyone in town living here?
>> Is this happening all over the world?
Like is this just one spot?
>> Looks like some kind of [ __ ] up performance art.
>> Perhaps it is.
>> How it must have been to grow up with the sky to feel the sun, the wind, the trees. But your people took it for granted.
>> We're human too, you know. eyes, teeth, hands, blood exactly like you.
>> This is crazy.
>> It was humans that built this place. I believe they figured out how to make a copy of the body, not the soul. The soul remains one shared by two. They created the death feed so they could use them to control the ones above.
>> Logistically, I'm like, how? What?
Literally how >> we were born special.
>> I want number 11.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I'm more like nah nah. That that face was horrifying.
>> He's going to have me saying Yeah. Yeah.
But after hours, not in this movie.
>> All of them. I don't the the tethered the way they move their bodies. It's so unsettling.
>> Oh.
>> Oh, that's crazy.
>> Like, how does that work? What?
[laughter] You want to try it?
>> How is he so hot and so scary? I hate it. Oh, he needs to be in more horror, too.
>> He really does. And we need to do Candyman.
>> I never stop thinking about you. You could have taken me with you.
>> Well, no.
>> Years after we met, the miracle [laughter] happened. That's when I saw God and issued me my path. the end of our dance.
The tether saw that I was different, that I would deliver them from this misery. I found my faith and I began to prepare. [laughter] It took years to plan.
>> So, she basically started a cult.
>> A revolution. A cult.
>> A revolution is such a nice way to put a >> I didn't just need to kill you. I needed to make a statement that the whole world would see. It's our time now. If it weren't for you, I never would have danced at all.
>> Just makes me feel so nervous, even though I already know the ending.
This is so [ __ ] good.
>> This is her black swan moment.
>> Yes.
>> I also like the idea of this face off being like red and white and how she's also turning red.
>> She is >> They're blending cuz they do share a soul.
>> They do. Even though she doesn't have one. apparently.
>> Oh, girl. [ __ ] >> Whoa. Coro >> Red's not playing. Mama.
>> But I'm like, if she's so tethered, why isn't she flying backwards?
>> Yeah.
>> Maybe you have to have to think about it. Let me just call up Jordan Peele.
>> Well, we would like give me the tea.
>> We would like to talk.
>> Not to nitpick this movie, but it's just like it leaves you with like wondering.
No, I don't think it's nitpicking cuz it's not a small thing. It's literally like, "Please explain the details of the plot to us." But you just have to accept that we're not going to know.
And you have to be okay with that.
She just keeps getting her ass kicked.
[laughter] >> That face she was making was horrific.
Oh.
This is actually very sad if you think about what we're watching, >> how what it's representing. And if you can't love yourself, how the hell are you supposed to love someone else? Can I get an amen up in here?
>> Amen. [clears throat] >> Oh, God almighty.
>> It's so hard watching this when you understand both perspectives. Watching it the first time, [screaming] >> this is literally a master class in performance art >> and perspective. Just in case anyone was wondering, that should be the title of the video. A master class on performance and perspective.
>> The patch needed this motherly energy.
>> We did.
>> They're all gone.
>> They can't hurt you.
>> What about all the other ones, though?
They're all on a a killing rampage outside.
>> They could hurt you, honey.
>> They will.
>> Everything's going to be like it was before.
>> Not lying.
>> Now, why are we just blatantly lying?
RIP Red, you were like a rose.
>> You know, some of the best moms are gaslighters.
>> Oh, [ __ ] >> So, >> well, there is that. And the dead bodies all over the street really add a nice touch.
>> All killed by scissors. Now, I know some of you aren't afraid of scissoring out there, >> but over here, we might be a little fearful. You do you and we'll do us, >> right? [music] >> She's forever changed. She's like, I don't know if I can run again.
>> She's never going to let that golf club like out of her hands. It's glued. Oh my god, he has a bunny.
>> He took one. That's sweet.
>> The gag is >> But the gag is >> you were watching a different movie.
>> Damn. This is truly haunting.
>> I remember being so [ __ ] utterly gassed.
>> Yeah. Oh my god.
>> This is crazy. Crushed her windpipe.
That's why she can't talk.
>> Oh my god. This girl is so good. I'm telling y'all, she's amazing. Come on, Kubric stair.
>> Madison Curry girl, you better get it.
>> Mhm.
>> This was her big one.
>> She loves that tea. She's like, "Wow, they're messy.
He knows."
>> Mhm.
>> She'll always have to hide that.
>> But she's so well adjusted, you know.
>> Is she? I don't know. She was snapping and barking like a She's not well.
>> I don't know what earlier. This is [ __ ] crazy, actually.
>> Yeah.
>> And you can see them all.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Oh my god.
>> They're everywhere.
>> Like, we're doomed. The world is doomed.
Everyone's [ __ ] >> Yeah. But like, how did they get all those scissors?
>> Uh, I don't know how they got all those scissors, to be honest.
>> Where did they get all the scissors?
Where did they get all the jumpsuits?
>> Yeah, I have I just have a lot of technical questions.
>> Like, I mean, I get maybe she found a sewing machine and she was down there sewing everyone a jumpsuit before she materials >> for years. I guess she started young. I never noticed the cast is in red.
>> Wow.
>> As their tethered selves. Wow.
>> Okay, >> y'all. What a great movie. We are so excited to have Jordan Peele on the channel. And you know, we do have more to come. We will be watching him, which is produced by Jordan Peele. Yes. Coming soon.
>> Yes.
>> Um and then obviously we have Get Out.
>> Yes. And Nope. And >> that we will be doing at some point.
>> We hope you got a little perspective out of our viewing of us.
>> I think you did.
