    Interesting but flawed
    I feel like some of the people in this read way too much into the movies they see. Saying that King Kong and aliens are a metaphor for black people is ludicrous. Also, Jordan Peele just needs to be punched in the face repeatedly. When I watch a documentary, I want to see interesting stories and ideas put forth and not a bunch of snowflakes looking for something to whine about.
