Get Out editorial

Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” (2017) released scarcely more than two weeks ago and it’s already proving to be a force to be reckoned with. Having already made 18 times its budget, the horror film is luring audiences of all stripes into theater seats despite tackling an unexpected issue: race. Jordan Peele doesn’t appear in “Get Out,” himself so rather than presenting an image from the movie, Sam created a poster for an imagined story. “Wicked Smart” is emblazoned across the top of the image, acting as a title for the duo, while also commenting on the consideration and balancing act that went into creating a contemporary horror film that dissects the complexities of contemporary racism.
