Jordan Peele is one of the most talked about contemporary moviemakers. There have been some great directors who have become legendary for a variety of reasons, like Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese. Peele, however, is slowly making his way to the top of the list as one of Hollywood’s greatest directors of all time. Peele has done more than just direct films and below we had mentioned the top Jordan Peele movies and tv shows.

He’s also acted, written, and produced. It seems like he’s done everything. I’ve compiled this list to discuss where you can watch some of Jordan Peele’s most outstanding movies and TV series, from his comedy sketch show, “Key and Peele” to his horror films, including Get Out.

If you want to see the early stages of Jordan Peel’s sketch comedy career, watch Mad TV. This sketch comedy series ran from 2003-2008 and was based on the satirical humor of Mad Magazine. It featured fake commercials, mock film trailers, impersonations, and much more.

Jordan Peele was part of the cast on Mad TV, and we got to see where his comedic skills came from, even though he left the show on a sour note. Although it competed with Saturday Night Live, Mad TV always had a more diverse cast and audience. It ran for several years until 2016, and it’s always fun to watch Jordan Peele in it.

Without a doubt, Key and Peele would be at the top of my Jordan Peele list. This sketch comedy series was the brainchild of Jordan Peele and the actor Keegan Michael Key. Together, they created some of the most hilarious sketches of all time and went on to become household names in the comedy world. There’s a reason why Key and Peele is so iconic.

Their sketches are so funny and the chemistry between Key and Peele works so well. It’s no surprise that the show ran for such a long time and was so successful. I hope that one day Keegan Michael Key will appear in one of Jordan Peele’s new horror films. I’d love to see him and Keegan Michael Key working together again. I guess Wendell and Wild will have to suffice for now.

Toy Story 4

If there’s one movie you just have to love, it’s Toy Story 4. It’s the continuation of Andy’s beloved toys, now owned by Bonnie, as they embark on an epic road trip that brings them face-to-face with old friends, explore new worlds and more.

Jordan Peele plays Bunny, the stuffed bunny at the carnival, and it’s great to see him reunite with Keegan Michael Key, who plays Ducky, the stuffed duckling at the carnival. Both of their characters are hilarious, and you get the same energy from them that only Peele and Key could bring to the table. I loved all of the Toy Story movies, but I especially loved Toy Story 4.

The Last O.G.

While Peele did not direct or write the show, he co-created and wrote the show. In “The Last O.G,” created and written by Peele, the show follows Tray, an ex-con who has recently been released from prison, as he discovers that the world he has left behind has drastically changed.

The show explores some of the most important themes of our time, including the gentrification of cities, fatherhood, love, and much more. Peele’s writing and co-creating the show means that while it tells great stories with these themes, it also has some great comedy. I mean, who doesn’t love Tracy Morgan?

Jordan Peele’s first feature film, Get Out, was a success. It follows Chris and Rose as they journey to meet their parents, but when Chris arrives at their cabin, strange occurrences begin to occur that drive him to seek escape.

The film was nominated for multiple awards, with Peele winning the Academy Award for Best Screenwriting, and is widely regarded as one of the best horror films from Blumhouse. It is a great horror film, with many interesting plot twists, remarkable acting, and some deep themes that are rarely seen in horror films. If you have not yet seen Get Out, it is highly recommended that you do so.

Jordan Peele has directed his second film, Us, starring Winston Duke and Idina Menzel. The story follows the Wilson family as they take a break from their lives and go on a family vacation to a cabin. However, their peaceful getaway is interrupted when two versions of themselves attempt to assassinate them. Us is an incredibly well-crafted horror film, with a captivating story and captivating themes.

The performance of Idina Menzel as Adelaide Wilson, who stars as two versions of herself, was outstanding, as was the rest of the cast’s performance. Additionally, it has been reported that Peele is set to return to the horror genre with A Quiet Place, a prequel to the original film.

Although Jordan Peele did not direct or write the film, he did co-produce it with Spike Lee. Based on the true story of an African-American police detective in Colorado Springs, the film follows him as he infiltrates and uncovers the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan.

BlackKkLansman stars some of the most talented actors in the world, including Adam Driver and John David Washington. The story is full of surprises, so much so that it’s easy to forget it’s a true story.

Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Tiffany Haddish

Jordan Peele wrote and produced his directorial debut, Keanu, about two cousins who break into a street gang to get their stolen kitten Keanu. It’s as dumb as it gets. Buddy action movies are always fun. But when it’s just the two of them, I think the fun level skyrockets.

You get to see the two of them working together again, showing off their comedic timing, having a good laugh, and of course, getting to see a cute little kitten throughout the movie. All in all, it’s a great combination.

Candyman

Genre
Horror, Thriller

5.9/10
Cast
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett

Jordan Peele’s latest film is 2021’s Candyman, a follow-up to his 1992 film Candyman. This time around, it’s a painter who sets out to discover the secret behind the legendary “Candyman,” but in the process, he winds up uncovering more than he bargained for and costing himself more than he thought he could.

I liked this one way better than the first one, and I think that’s because Peele co-wrote and co-produced it. It’s a testament to how much effort was put into making this one a truly satisfying follow-up. The story is fantastic, and the cast is fantastic, too. Yahya Abdul Mateen II is fantastic in the lead. I could see him in horror films all the time.

It’s been a while since Jordan Peele’s last movie dropped, and now he’s back with No. It’s a horror movie about a brother and sister who start to notice strange things happening in their town, and they enlist the help of their friends to figure out what’s going on.

It’s been a great addition to Peele’s horror resume, and it’s been getting rave reviews from critics. Plus, it’s got a great cast, with Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya joining Daniel Kaluuya and Steven Yeun. It’s set to be released in 2022, and it’s already been referenced in Scream VI, just eight months after it came out. Could we expect a sequel to No? Time will tell.

Wrapping it up!

To sum up Jordan Peele’s career, it’s safe to say that he’s had a huge impact on the entertainment industry through Jordan Peele movies and TV shows. From his beginnings on “Mad TV” and the beloved “Key & Peele” sketch comedy series to his award-winning horror films like “Get Out” and “Us,” Peele has continually proven his ability as a creator, director, and producer, as well as an actor.
