J Wortham and Wesley Morris are back, just in time for Scorpio season. Ever since they watched Jordan Peele's latest film, “Nope,” together over the summer, they haven't been able to stop talking about it. The film stars Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as siblings whose family horse ranch is threatened by an otherworldly creature. But instead of escaping or destroying the monster, they are determined to take a picture of it. Why is proof so important? And what does it mean to be believed? Today: The unresolved questions of “Nope” (some of them, anyway) and what the film says about the grimmer aspects of living in America.
