***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Like how Rose is hard-headed knocking on Chris's front door. Hard-headed to try to bring him to death.

-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** And how Missy called Georgina "George" for short (is her womanhood denied because of her blackness?).
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Or how Chris is haunted by the sound of the fly buzzing; a possible reference to Kafka's Metamorphosis.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** And how the sunken place isn't underground, it's in outer space. Chris is an alien in the white world.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** I gasped when all the whites arrived to the party in black vehicles. Serious metaphors throughout.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Questions RE audience reception. Did you watch with all/mostly white or all/mostly black audience? If so...
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Did the audience you were with applaud when Jeremy (the Armitage son) got knocked out by Chris?
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Similarly, did the audience you were with applaud when Dean (the Armitage dad) was attacked out by Chris?
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** And, did the audience you were with applaud when Missy (the Armitage mom) was attacked out by Chris?
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** What about when Rose was shot? Did the audience you watched the film with applaud with praise?
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Last question (I think): was the audience initially mortified when the cop car pulled up at the end?

***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** I also wanna spend some time thinking critically about my consumption of this film as a nbpoc.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** I'm not black. But I've felt like absolute hell with the white familiar of a person I dated. Horrible shit.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Like the white mother ask for documentation of my baptism (make sure I wasn't *too* indigenous/savage).
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** But I've also seen anti-blackness operate in my own community when someone dates a black person.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Even up to disowning family members because they married a black person. This is *very* persistent.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** The film gave me more to think about the second time around, esp in terms of solidarity and complicity.
