"Preparing [for the role of Nikki] was really fun. We got to watch a lot of fun movies, and kind of pick and choose, like a puzzle, what we wanted in the film. Moments that we took inspiration from, and made them our own." — Inde Navarrette for Fandango "We watched Get Out, and focused on a lot of the moments where characters are showing an emotion underneath but saying something completely different [on the surface], and how horrific that is. There's a scene where [Nikki] is saying, "no", and there is a [similar] scene in Get Out [which we took inspiration from]." — Inde Navarrette for A Shot Magazine Obsession (2026) Dir. Curry Barker Get Out (2017) Dir. Jordan Peele

And, of course, they’re very upset some intern on the DNC Twitter account called Stephen Miller an ugly fuck (factually correct) and responded to his passive aggressive and insulting transvestigating of Texas senate nominee James Talarico with a similar level of inflammatory ire. We need more Dark Woke. I am so tired of the Democratic Party playing respectability bullshit and acting like what people saying on the right should be treated as reasonable and sane. “Shut up you ugly fuck.” is really the only way to respond to that.
