Ryan Coogler's original film 'Sinners' defied the so-called conventional wisdom of Hollywood and dropped only 6% week-to-week in its box office performance.

In this episode I recount the online controversy surrounding some of the reporting on the film and give you my own take on having seen the film.  Enjoy!
