Welcome to another thrilling episode of Fright Talk, where we delve into the chilling realms of horror found in culture, books, and film. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the buzz-worthy film 'Sinners,' set in 1930s Mississippi, which masterfully combines supernatural, psychological horror with rich cultural narratives.
This episode explores how 'Sinners' challenges traditional horror tropes by incorporating elements of Southern Gothic, focusing on themes of cultural resilience and historical oppression within Black, Irish, and Native American communities. The film showcases a fascinating blend of horror and music, making it a unique, refreshing addition to the genre.
Join us as we discuss the film's compelling characters, including the dual roles played by Michael B. Jordan, and how these narratives create a new blueprint for horror. From genre-blending to character development, 'Sinners' opens a treasure trove of discussions on identity, power, and the supernatural.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
