If you000 Archivesone of the many folks rightfully upset about Get Outbeing shut out of the Golden Globes last night, keep reading.

A college course on black horror films, through the lens of 2017's box office shattering film Get Out, will be kicking off at UCLA this week. However, if you're not a student there, you can still get in on the same lectures that Jordan Peele himself snuck into last year and learn a whole lot more about the critically acclaimed film and the overlooked genre of black horror.

Author and UCLA teacher Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes will be allowing non-students to tune into "The Sunken Place" lectures (which are not affiliated with UCLA but are taught by the same instructors). The course tackles "racism, survival and black horror" and at the price of $348.00, you can access the lectures on your own time. In her tweet, Due also insinuated that Peele might pop up at some point, asking students to send in questions for the director.

Due spoke to Gizmodolast year about her course and the inspiration Get Outlended to teaching this genre.

“You know...horror, to me, is a subset of Afrofuturism, in that fantasy is a subset of Afrofuturism,” Due said. "So, I decided, instead of doing the broader course, why not just break open black horror? Because Get Outis not the first black-made horror film, but it’s definitely the most successful. And I think it definitely has the ability to be culture-changing, let’s say."

"Between Get Outand Black Pantherand A Wrinkle in Timecoming out, with Ava [DuVernay] directing a multiracial cast," Due continued to Gizmodo, "there’s just never been a time like this. For artists and consumers of black, speculative art."
