From cotton fields to coffin lids

Sinners isn’t just a vampire movie—it’s a Southern Gothic opera about bloodlines, betrayal, and the price of your soul. On this episode, Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie dive into Ryan Coogler’s (Black Panther) first original feature, where Michael B. Jordan (Creed) plays war-torn twins battling both the past and the undead in 1930s Mississippi. Hailee Steinfeld (Hawkeye) plays Mary, Stack’s former flame-turned-vampire femme fatale, while Jayme Lawson's (The Batman) haunting voice lingers long after the music fades. From historical horror to emotional gut-punches, we explore whether Sinners earns its place among Coogler’s best—and whether immortality is a curse or a second chance.
