Episode 112: ‘Get Out,’ Tony Cox Talks Star Wars, Brett Kelly Loves Octavia Spencer

‘Get Out’ from the mind of Jordan Peele is in theaters right now. The film also has an insane 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. EJ believe ‘Get Out’ will change the horror genre like Wes Craven did with ‘Scream’ back in 1996.

On the second half of the show, Matt has a very interesting conversation with Tony Cox and Brett Kelly of the ‘Bad Santa’ franchise. Cox explains how cool and difficult it was to film ‘Return of the Jedi’ as an Ewok.

Strap yourself in buckaroos! Episode 112 of the Monkeys Fighting Robots podcast is here.

A Gen Xer and a Millennial debate the latest topics in pop culture. One guy is a filmmaker and the other is a journalist, but both are nerds. We make your slowest days at work better. Hosts, Matthew Sardo and EJ Moreno.

Never heard of Matt Sardo?

For starters, he made the Kessel Run in less than 11 parsecs. Prior to that, he gave Doc Brown the idea for the flux capacitor and led the Resistance to victory over SkyNet – all while sipping a finely crafted IPA. As a radio host, he’s interviewed celebrities, athletes and everyone in between. He’s covered everything from the Super Bowl to Comic-Con.

Who is EJ Moreno?

Is he a trained physician? No. Is he a former Miss Universe contestant? Possibly. But what we know for sure is he’s a writer, filmmaker, and pop culture enthusiast. Since film school, EJ has written & directed several short films. He’s used his passion for filmmaking to become a movie critic for MonkeysFightingRobots.com.
