Get Out Breakdown: Audio Description & Accessibility (Part 1) [CC] [AD]

Do Blind people miss out on some of the nuance in Jordan Peele’s “Get Out”? Join Dr. Van and audio description narrator and radio host Thomas Reid for a different kind of breakdown of this awesome movie. We delve into themes within the film that don’t get discussed enough (ableism, classism, racism). We’re also critiquing the quality of the Audio Description.

[Image Description: A black and white movie poster for "Get Out" shows a hand stirring a spoon in a teacup that is actually made out of a young Black man's head. On the left, Dr. Stephanie Van, a Vietnamese woman with long black hair, is holding her right hand to her mouth with a shocked expression on her face. On the right, Thomas Reid, a brown skinned Black man with a bald head and neatly trimmed beard wearing dark sunglasses, also has a shocked, jaw-dropped expression on his face. The text above them reads "Blind Breakdown" and in the center, the title of the movie "Get Out."]
