On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are hiding away all of our secret keys and keeping our evil doppelg\\xe4ngers from murdering us in the Jordan Peele film from 2019, Us.

Hey folks, Evil Sean here. Wait, I\\u2019m supposed to have some sort of kooky name, right? Maybe something inspired by Roman mythology or other various theologies? Ummm, how about we go with Jove, because I\\u2019m just that into myself. So hey, Jove here. It\\u2019s become my duty to tell you all about two things:

1. This movie that was watched and talked about.
2. How we\\u2019re going to be coming up from the underground and taking over a good portion of the planet.

The movie ended up being pretty great, and it inspired a passionate conversation between Not Evil Sean and who I\\u2019m assuming is Not Evil Steven. Who would have guessed that this film would get the words flowing as it did? On the other hand, isn\\u2019t that what all films that stand the test of time are capable of doing? If it\\u2019s not going to make for a good discussion, then why would it be featured here?

As for the second item, I\\u2019m not too sorry to say that it\\u2019s going to happen and there\\u2019s not a lot that can be done about it. Look, you\\u2019ve been living on the surface for decades. We\\u2019ve been trapped underground, walking into walls, and eating nothing but raw rabbits. There\\u2019s a major disparity here with which you probably shouldn\\u2019t be too comfortable.

I mean, I\\u2019m not trying to wag my finger too much at you here, but\\u2026 Look, it\\u2019ll all be all right. We\\u2019re open to a peaceful sharing of the world. We\\u2019re not that greedy. Who are we, you? Nope, we\\u2019re here to talk and work something out.

So look, get back to us. Don\\u2019t take too long. We\\u2019re patient\\u2014we\\u2019ve been waiting under your feet for many long years\\u2014but we\\u2019re not that patient, you know? Send a representative for the above-ground humans and let\\u2019s get this all worked out. I think we can all come to an amicable solution to this.

Sincerely, Jove.
