Jordan Peele Quiz – Hidden Clues in Get Out, Us and Nope

Jordan Peele first became famous in the comedy duo Key and Peele. His horror debut Get Out in 2017 won him the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, making him the first Black writer to win that award.

In Get Out, a stirring teacup sends Chris into the Sunken Place, and he escapes hypnosis by stuffing cotton from a chair into his ears. Us, in 2019, scatters clues like Hands Across America, rabbits and Jeremiah 11:11 as doubles called the Tethered rise.
