It's finally here, the long-awaited sophomore film from Academy Award-winning writer/director of Get Out Jordan Peele: Us. While touching on similar topics to\xa0Get Out\xa0including racial tension, socio-economic divide, and class warfare, the film follows a family who is plagued while on vacation by a group of doppelgangers who hold a sinister secret. With standout performances from Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke, the film is an interesting follow up the Peele's freshman outing and one that attempts world and mythology building with varying degrees of success. Chris and Eric are joined by award-winning screenwriter Jess Byard to talk the year's most hotly anticipated horror film along with if it's a worthy successor to Peele's modern genre classic and where he goes from here.
