In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 2017 film Get Out.
Episode Highlights: We talk about the film's use of place--particularly the home--as a mechanism for exploring (horrific) bodied experiences of African Americans, the significance of having the character of Rose be truly evil, and how the film's alternate endings would have changed...well, everything!
A Dose of Scholarship: Check out W. Scott Poole's excellent Monsters in America, which explores American history and culture through the monsters we fear and the monsters we create (the final pages explore Get Out specifically). For a more in-depth look at Get Out, we recommend Cammie M. Sublette's essay exploring the film through the legacy of plantation slavery, available in the edited collection Horror Comes Home.
