The Horrors of Football Meets Jordan Peele

Monkeypaw’s latest film Him dares to ask: What would you do to become the GOAT?

Get Out, Us, Candyman, Nope, Monkey Man … With all of the short titles at Jordan Peele ’s Monkeypaw Productions, his latest addition almost gives us a full sentence filled with thrills and suspense. Directed by Justin Tipping, Him turns football into a horror show that’s more than just your favorite team losing— one that questions why athletes are worshipped like gods and what it means to be the greatest of all time. Written by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie, the script’s recognition caught the eye of Jordan Peele, who helped get the film developed and signed on as a producer.
