Scott and Jenn dive into the eerie yet fascinating world of the movie *Sinners*, where the haunting tale of Mississippi blues legend Robert Johnson takes center stage.
This flick isn't just your typical horror show; it spins a yarn about twin brothers, their juke joint dreams, and a devilish vampire lurking in the shadows of the Jim Crow South. We get all the juicy deets on how the film cleverly weaves true historical elements into its supernatural plot, echoing the struggles and resilience of the African American community during the 1930s.
Plus, we chat about the eerie legend of Robert Johnson himself—did he really sell his soul at the crossroads? Spoiler alert: it’s all about the music and the history behind it, so grab your popcorn and let’s jam!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
