Happy Halloween! This October 31st, we delve into thinking-man's horror with the films of Jordan Peele.

Jon and Chris get a film education, one filmmaker at a time. Each month, we pick a famous filmmaker and watch every film that he or she wrote and directed.  Then, we research the filmmaker's history and critical assessments of their work.  Finally, we talk about the films, consistent themes throughout, and answer definitively: Are they an auteur and do we like them?
