In this critical deep dive, we explore Sinners, the bold, genre-blending vampire-western-horror-musical from director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan. We unpack its ambitious themes of assimilation, artistic legacy, cultural survival, and spiritual freedom—all wrapped inside a chaotic IMAX-sized spectacle. From standout newcomer Miles Caton’s lead performance to the film’s uneven third act and rich but overloaded symbolism, we ask whether Sinners is a flawed masterpiece or a fascinating misfire. Plus, on our Patreon, we’re offering a free bonus episode—a live commentary on Creed, diving into the roots of Coogler and MBJ’s collaboration.
