Cup of Culture
Nope
MCC Theater
After our inaugural Beyond the Lab! STEM Week last fall, we’re taking time this winter quarter to slow down, nourish ourselves, and continue building the community we fostered. To encourage connection and creativity, we’re excited to host a sci-fi horror film screening—a fun chance to relax, connect, and explore new imaginative spaces together.
Join us for our screening of Nope (2022), directed by Jordan Peele and starring Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer. It follows siblings OJ and Emerald Hayward, who inherit their father’s California horse ranch after his death. When they discover an unidentified flying object abducting their horses, they hatch a plan to capture footage of the UFO to make money. This effort brings them into conflict with both the otherworldly entity and their neighbor, Ricky "Jupe" Park, who is exploiting the same phenomenon for his theme park. A thrilling critique on spectacle and exploitation, Peele’s feel for the harrowing is unmatched; Nope unsettles and thrills, usually at the same time.
Stay after the screening for a post-film discussion and late-night pizza.
