And you know something? This movie should not be such the surprise that it is. Instead, I was more able to focus on the themes and specific character beats instead of just barely hanging on to the plot like my life depended on it. Seeing it a second time did not deliver diminishing returns, either. THEN come back and read my very long piece on how Get Out belongs in the cinematic pantheon of Greatest Films. Or, wait, no! If you haven’t seen it, first go see it–it’s still in theaters, despite those singing candelabras and talking teapots that took over the box office last week. If not, please go back and read this very long piece I wrote about it. Sketches like this one show possibly why the fifth season - at long last - just might be that breakout season.By now, I hope you’ve gotten a sense of how brilliant Jordan Peele’s directorial debut, Get Out, is. It's just about someone who's desperate to go, and pays the consequences. There's no commentary here - nothing about race, or injustice, or the futility of assimilation. But the best of the lot is next week: A passenger on a flight (Key) is stopped from using the restroom by an officious steward (Peele) because the fasten-seatbelt sign is on.

Maybe an introduction's warranted after all. As a team, they are revered in Hollywood, and in high schools, but. Garvey,' probably the best known substitute teacher in the world (79 million views on YouTube alone). Key's 'Luther' - Obama's (Peele) anger translator - is a comic icon.

Both are brilliant mimics and outrageously creative improv stars who now comprise the most successful comedy duo on television. But just in case - Key's the tall one, Peele's the other guy. MY SAY After four seasons on Comedy Central and a billion streams on the Internet, Key and Peele should need no introduction.
