For our first-ever BONUS EPISODE, we’re sinking our teeth into something perfectly suited for spooky season: Ryan Coogler’s 2025 gothic horror hit, Sinners.
This one has it all: vampires, sensuality, Southern heat, and Michael B. Jordan at his steamiest. Ariel and Morgan break down two pivotal intimacy scenes, one tender, one terrifying, and unpack how Sinners turns eroticism into a matter of survival.
We get into it all:
- Why this film proves that you don’t need nudity to make a scene scorching
- How Sinners uses race, power, and danger to reimagine vampire mythology
- The difference between lusty vs romantic intimacy
- And yes… what it really means to share spit with a vampire 🩸
From vampire lore to S-curves to consent through the lens of bloodlust, this is an episode that’s equal parts academic, erotic, and absurdly fun.
This one’s for the horror lovers, the film nerds, and anyone who’s ever been Team Edward and Team Jacob. And Team Spike. Like Ariel is.
