Jordan Peele Isn’t Going to Green-light Any of Desus and Mero’s Movie Ideas

Desus and Mero won’t stop until they’ve EGOT-ed (or if they want to come for Rita Moreno, PEGOT-ed). First they worked with John Legend to make potentially Grammy-winning music, now they’re scoping out movie ideas with Jordan Peele. But Peele isn’t feeling any of their pitches. Not Spookybucks (two Bronx boys get haunted TV money), not Bada Bing Babadook (what if Babadook but horny), and not even We Bought a Bronx Zoo (the only zoo with pit bulls). No wonder it took Peele eight years to write Get Out. He probably spent seven of them throwing out pure gold.
