Jordan Peele breaks down that intense scene in ‘Nope’

A certain moment with a television show was commentary on his early life, apparently.

Director Jordan Peele’s Nope came out last month to box office success and positive reviews. It features a number of hidden meanings, has some intense scenes, is seen to be a commentary on the entertainment industry, and, now, Peele has peeled back the layers of a certain sequence early on in the project which results in carnage and deaths of both human beings and a species relative.
