Gordy's Home Intro Video Adds Context to Nope Movie's Horrifying Scene
A mock intro for the fictional sitcom Gordy's Home provides some needed context for a mysterious—but integral—Nope scene. As one of the more innovative directors in the horror genre today, Jordan Peele's efforts have caused fans to become divided in their admiration or distaste for his work. His first two features, Get Out and Us, are full of homages to classic Hollywood films alongside subtext on topics like race and culture wars, elements that persist in Peele's newest film, Nope.
Nope's box office numbers prove that the mysterious sci-fi horror film is generating buzz, but some fans have left theaters wondering about certain unexplained scenes. The Haywood siblings, OJ and Emerald (Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer, respectively), interact with attraction owner Jupe (Steven Yeun), a former child star who fills them in on his short-lived sitcom, Gordy's Home. He explains that the chimp who played Gordy went berserk during one episode, forcing the network to cancel the show, but fails to provide any additional background. A flashback later shows Gordy killing several cast members on the soundstage and getting shot upon showing familiarity with young Jupe.
