Sinners, you say? Well, if sinning looks this intriguing with Michael B. Jordan at the helm, perhaps we should all reconsider our life choices (just kidding... mostly!).

Join us as we explore the film's themes, from colonialism to music and ancestry, all while being thoroughly entertained by the sheer star power and terrifying monsters on screen. Was it a deliciously wicked ride, or did it leave us feeling more saintly than sinful?...
