Horror Movie Monday-Nope (2022) Review

In this week’s episode of Tales, Trails and Taverns: Horror Movie Monday, Rob and Joe dive deep into Jordan Peele’s 2022 mind-bending thriller Nope. This one’s packed with FULL SPOILERS, so if you haven’t seen the film yet—pause here, give it a watch, and come back!
We break down everything from the unsettling tension of the opening scenes to the slow-burn unraveling of the mystery in the skies over Agua Dulce. From Gordy’s rampage to the reveal of “Jean Jacket,” we talk creature design, symbolism, and whether Nope is more horror, sci-fi, or a brilliantly disguised western. Plus, we hash out what really worked, what left us saying “what the hell was that?”, and why this might be one of Peele’s most ambitious films yet.
Whether you screamed, cheered, or stared in stunned silence—join us as we say “yep” to Nope.
