    In today’s episode of The Cinematic Schematic, we’re saddling up to wrangle an unidentified flying piece of discourse consuming every inch of the internet in our review of Jordan Peele’s latest movie, Nope.

    Laron Chapman and Daniel Bokemper rejoin host Caleb Masters on the show to answer the ice-breaker question, “What is your favorite film or TV sequence featuring a UFO,” before providing their spoiler-free thoughts and a verdict. The majority of the conversation is spent in spoilers covering several of the film’s themes including the risks and dangers of pursuing spectacle, how black entertainers have been treated throughout Hollywood history, and what makes Peele’s take on UFOs innovative and more than meets the eye.

    Can Peele make lightning strike a third time or has he started to follow in the missteps of M. Night Shyamalan?

    Tune into our full Nope review discussion for the full verdict!
