🎙 Jordan Peele on Smartless: listen notes (#arts)

(listen)

3rd on bounce I’ve listened that Bateman picked (I think Bateman is a kindred spirit…)

7’ Trailers: Universal mkting make it collab.

Chose not to spoil evil white girl for Get Out! Presumably the studio always wants more.

12’ The way you describes comedy is like a financial risk analyst. I love it!

14’ white guy: “howd you get bizarre idea that white people are using black people’s bodies?” Peele: “uhh real life”

24’ why Kramer & Langley @ universal fund?

27’ bad at: clean & attentive

29’ cool that Peele complimented Bateman: Bill Murray, John Cleese

31’ Spielberg. Stephen?

33’ Dutch DP Hoyt? Cams: infra-red innovation

35’ Peel doesn’t want to discuss the ‘sausage-factory’. haven’t heard him mention BoJack

37’ Nope is just a spectacle and a theatrical experience. Also gotta be new

39’ NOPE = Not Of Planet Earth acronym. Omg Peele & Arnett love word-games too

41’ where’s Funny? Pen15? Social-media. Streamers say multi-ep tough

47’ got a interactive Universal ride

50’ writing IS the downtime

51’ what is genre? Suspense, horror. Now NOPE is truly original

55’ aim of horror: is to F someone up on a terror level. Fine, but keep it away from kids pls.

56’ jump-scares: Snap-zoom and whip-pan

60’ horror is still commercial in theater.

61’ thrill to excel in things people don’t expect :D
