Send us a textWhat does it mean when tough men admit they cry? In this unexpectedly moving episode, four friends create a safe space to discuss vulnerability and the surprising things that trigger their emotions - from touching father-daughter stories to dog movies that destroy them.The conversation begins with a surprising admission: as these men have entered their 30s, 40s and 50s they've noticed themselves becoming more emotional. One host shares how listening to a story on the radio about a father following his daughter's school bus to ensure she could participate in a field trip nearly moved him to tears just retelling it. This opens the floodgates as each man confesses which movies have reduced them to tears - with dog films like Marley and Me, Old Yeller and Benji being universal triggers. The authenticity is palpable as one host admits to crying during a screening of Marley and Me hours before a football game, completely unconcerned about his upcoming athletic performance.The conversation takes a powerful turn when discussing films about racial injustice. Several hosts admit they've had to limit watching certain Black historical dramas because the emotional toll is too great. "Mississippi Burning," "Rosewood," and "Fruitvale Station" are cited as films that left them not just sad but angry and emotionally drained.Between these vulnerable moments, the group pivots to discussing current events - including a former Phoenix news anchor's massive PPP loan fraud scheme - and childhood nostalgic treats now turned into ice cream. Throughout these varied topics, the cohesive thread remains their willingness to be genuine with each other, creating a refreshingly honest podcast experience that challenges listeners to embrace their own vulnerability.If you've ever felt alone in your emotional responses or wondered if it's okay for men to show their feelings, this episode provides both validation and permission to embrace the full spectrum of human emotion.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

Let's say it right off the bat... Ryan Coogler is a bad ass. It is officially undeniable.   The man mad a sequel SERIES to Rocky that represents some of the strongest in the franchise. He killed it with Black Panther, hell... he even started with a bold statement in Fruitvale Station. So... how does he do when he is going fully original. Not just fully original, original elevated genre... that's a period piece... with a lead actor playing twins. Given his track record... it was really just a matter of how much of the cover he was going to tear off the ball.   Well... listen to get our take on how much of that cover was left.

Mostly Superheroes Podcast: Spoiler-Free Review of Sinners (2025) This episode of Mostly Superheroes features a spoiler-free review of Sinners (2025), the latest horror thriller starring Michael B. Jordan in dual roles. Scotty caught this one on The Big Show at Alamo Drafthouse St. Louis, where the immersive experience made the film's eerie atmosphere even more intense. About the Film Sinners is directed by Ryan Coogler, marking his fifth collaboration with Jordan after Fruitvale Station, Creed, and both Black Panther films. The film is produced by Proximity Media and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Set in 1932 Mississippi, Sinners follows twin brothers Smoke and Stack, World War I veterans who return home to start fresh. Their plans to open a juke joint take a dark turn when supernatural forces descend upon their town. The cast includes Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo. The film's cinematography is handled by Autumn Durald Arkapaw, with editing by Michael P. Shawver and a score composed by Ludwig Göransson. Box Office & Budget Sinners premiered on April 3, 2025, and was released theatrically on April 18. With a budget of $90–100 million, the film has already grossed over $236 million worldwide, making it the fifth highest-grossing film of the year. It opened with $48 million domestically, outperforming expectations and earning an “A” CinemaScore—an extremely rare feat for a horror film. Behind-the-Scenes Fact Principal photography took place from April to July 2024. The film was shot using IMAX cameras, enhancing its visual depth and intensity. Warner Bros. secured distribution rights after a competitive bidding war, highlighting the industry's confidence in Coogler and Jordan's ability to deliver a compelling original story.

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Michael Shawver about editing Ryan Coogler's feature film, Sinners.Michael's been on Art of the Cut in the past for his work on Black Panther. His other work includes Abigail, A Quiet Place 2, Creed, and Fruitvale Station. This discussion includes - among other things - how the first scripted scene ended up in act 2 while the last scene ended up as the first scene, how therapy can turn you into a better editor, and the artistic challenges of one actor playing two parts.You can read along with this interview and see stills from the movie, clips and trailers on the BorisFX blog of the same name:borisfx.com/blog/aotc

We start with the heat of the moment—Ryan Coogler's latest film Sinners, already generating serious buzz—and then rewind to where it all began with his deeply affecting debut, Fruitvale Station. Special guest Josh Deleon joins us for the ride, adding sharp takes and good company. Both films showcase the dynamic power of Michael B. Jordan, and we explore how Coogler's voice has evolved from intimate storytelling to epic, emotionally charged cinema.  We're pairing these films with two bold brews: the citrus punch of Austin Beerworks's Bloodwork Orange IPA and our first taste of Surly Brewing, courtesy of their tropical Mango Axe Man. Great films, great beer—what more do you need?

This week, we're busting out the slammer and potentially wishing we were back in it depending on who you ask, as we team up with the canary-clad copper to take down a star-studded mob in a wildly stylish and outlandishly conceived blockbuster starring a charming old man incapable of doing action scenes, that's been seemingly buried in the Disney vault in the years since. It's 1990's Dick Tracy, directed and produced by Warren Beatty, and starring Beatty, Madonna, Al Pacino, Glenne Headly, Charlie Korsmo, Mandy Patinkin, Dustin Hoffman, Seymour Cassel, William Forsythe, Charles Durning, Dick Van Dyke, Paul Sorvino, James Caan, Kathy Bates and Catherine O'Hara. Most of these stars are unrecognizeable under the monstrous makeup required to make them look like their vintage crime comic strip counterparts, but Pacino made enough of an impression with a wildly comedic take on his typical mobster persona that he netted an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actor, losing to Joe Pesci for GoodFellas. While Beatty is at least a decade too old to be proper fit as the movie's lead, it's his ambition behind the camera that makes the movie such a curiosity all these years later, as the film is either an enchanting dreamscape filled with unsolvable How Did They Do That movie magic puzzles, or a steaming pile of neon-drenched puke depending on which of our two hosts you ask. But that's okay, as we have some heated disagreement this week that is maybe the closest we've yet come to vintage Siskel & Ebert kinda stuff. Plus: We've both been to the theater and are happy to sound off on Ryan Coogler's latest as JMo and Hayley both greatly enjoyed Sinners in the cinema, and Justin's got a bonus theatrical field report on Drop, the latest from Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon. If you'd like to watch Dick Tracy before listening along to our conversation, good luck finding a physical copy, and Disney will seemingly never stream this thing on Disney+ -- possibly for rights reasons to avoid paying anything more to Warren Beatty, or possibly because they are cowards who are ashamed of the fun movie they made. Either way, it's tough to find outside of renting it on YouTube. Other works discussed in this episode include Creed, Fruitvale Station, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, Mad Max: Fury Road, Loki, The Accountant, The Perfect Storm, Bridge of Spies, War Horse, The Adventures of Tintin, Red Eye, Trap, Reign of Fire, Surrogates, The Expendables 2, The Last Boy Scout, Princess Mononoke, Hook, This Is The Tom Green Documentary, Cutthroat Island, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, G20, The Silence of the Lambs, Longlegs, Resident Orca, Avatar: The Way of Water, Blackfish, Batman ('89), Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, X-Men, Blade, The Shadow, The Phantom, The Rocketeer, Darkman, Speed Racer, Furiosa, Challengers and Sin City, among others. We'll be back (more than likely) next week, with another special in-theaters spectacular, as 100+ episodes after we covered the original film, it is tax season once again and we're back for more Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal in The Accountant 2. So look for that next Friday, and until then we'll see you at the movies!!

As Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan's most recent collaboration, Sinners, is dominating the domestic and worldwide box office, we thought it would be a good time to look at their first project together, Fruitvale Station. Fruitvale is partially the telling of the tragic story of the killing of Oscar Grant in Oakland CA on New Year's Day 2009, but it's so much more. Beyond being a mere recreation of events and the conveying of the awful facts, the film is a beautiful portrait of a young man who is struggling against a system that is set against him and his own difficulties. In addition to being a star making vehicle for Michael B. Jordan, the film features incredible performances from Melonie Diaz, Octavia Spencer, and Ariana Neal. Coogler and co. received a lot of critical praise for the film which set him up to helm massive projects like Creed and the Black Panther movies for Marvel. Joining us for our look back is Chicago based film critic Zachary Lee who is a regular contributor to Roger Ebert, Letterboxd, Interview Magazine, Chicago Reader, Think Christian, and more. He's been someone we've wanted to have on the show for a while and he did not disappoint.Enjoy the show and share it with a friend!⁠⁠⁠⁠Substantive Cinema Episode List⁠Zach Interviews Ryan CooglerFreaky Tales InterviewZach & Willem Dafoe on The Legend of OchiShoutouts:Queens of DramaThe Ballad of Wallis IslandOur Revolution by Bernie SandersMy Old AssFollow ZachInstagramEverything else!Follow Us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Philip's Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Share Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

It's Boy Week on Primal Screen, as guest host Alice McShane is joined by Will Cox and Maudie Osborne to take us through discussions and reviews of the boy-heavy releases Warfare, Sinners, and The Rehearsal.Warfare is the latest film from A24, with director Alex Garland (Civil War, Ex Machina) turning his attention to the war genre. Following a squad of soldiers throughout a particularly fraught battle, the film is set in real time and is a masterclass in building tension and terror for the big screen.Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Fruitvale Station), follows two brothers who return to their small Southern town in the 1930s to open a juke joint—hoping to build a sanctuary for their community. But their dream takes a dark turn as the racist townsfolk intervene, unleashing a wave of sinister and supernatural events.The Rehearsal returns for a second season from ‘sinister nerd' Nathan Fielder, who uses this offbeat ‘documentary' series to explore a single, surreal question: What if you could rehearse every moment of your life? With a team of actors and meticulously crafted sets that mirror reality down to the smallest detail, Fielder turns hypothetical anxieties into elaborate experiments.Triple R's April Amnesty is on now!

Director Ryan Coogler is back to deliver us more goods on the big screen with his latest original film, of course with Michael B. Jordan, Sinners. The trailers for this film have been absolutely fascinating and the hints over the years of Coogler's next project being an original and a horror film were extremely exciting to me. That's because I don't think he's made a single movie below the 'great' level. I enjoy his two Black Panther films immensely and about equally. The two more impressive outings in his career so far though have been his debut feature Fruitvale Station, a heartbreaking true story, and one of the greatest sports films of all-time: Creed, a legacy sequel that managed to top anything that had come before... and the original Rocky won Best Picture! Coogler is one of the best working directors, as I've clearly established, and him managing to make a high-budget, genre-blender and still managing to maintain the rights is just such a boss move, while the very easy next step for him would have been to continue immediately with what would've been a surefire hit in Black Panther III. Anyhow, is this movie as good as the rave reviews so far have indicated?

Ryan Coogler began his career in film as a realist with “Fruitvale Station,” which tells the story of a true-to-life tragedy about a police killing in the Bay Area. He then directed the class drama of “Creed,” a celebrated “Rocky” sequel. But then he moved to the epic fantasy of Marvel's hit “Black Panther” movies. In his newest project, “Sinners,” Coogler continues to deal with themes of history, faith, and race, but through the lens of horror. Jelani Cobb sat down with the director to discuss setting the film in the South, the mythology of the blues, and how he made a vampire story his own.

Ludwig Göransson is one of the most accomplished and distinctive film composers of the 21st century. In 2020, after working on the movie Tenet together, acclaimed director Christopher Nolan hired Göransson to score what has become one of the biggest movies of 2023: Oppenheimer. Ludwig, who emigrated to Los Angeles from his native Sweden in 2007, has racked up dozens of writing, producing and scoring credits. He started out working in TV and he eventually started scoring films with his old college friend Ryan Coogler. Ludwig composed music for all of Coogler's hit movies including Fruitvale Station, the Creed series, and both Black Panther films—the first of which won him the Academy Award for Best Original Score in 2019. On today's episode Justin Richmond talks to Ludwig Göransson about his incredible body of work as a composer and producer. He explains how his rigorous musical training in Sweden prepared him to write the complex sections of the Oppenheimer score. Ludwig also plays some of the more moving sections of the score for us in effort to show us how he came up with one of the best soundtracks of the year. You can hear a playlist of some of our favorite Ludwig Göransson songs HERE.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fruitvale Station (2013) is based on the real-life events leading to the death of Oscar Grant III, a 22-year-old black man who was shot and killed by a Bay Area Rapid Transit officer on New Year's Day 2009 at the Fruitvale district station in Oakland, California. The film depicts the final day in Oscar Grant's life, interspersed with flashbacks from his past, which together provide a richly layered picture a young man whose life was tragically cut short. The film was written and directed by Ryan Coogler  (in his first feature film), and stars Michael B. Jordan as Oscar Grant, Melonia Diaz as his girlfriend, and Octavia Spencer as Oscar's mother. Fruitvale Station not only provides a moving account of Oscar Grant's final day, but also presents a chilling indictment of police violence and the role that race still plays in perpetuating it. I am joined by Professor Michael Pinard of the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. Professor Pinard is a nationally recognized expert on criminal law, race and the criminal justice system, and the challenges faced by individuals with criminal convictions when reintegrating into society. Timestamps:0:00   Introduction4:18    Impressions of the film when it came out and today7:23    Living in the shadow of the criminal justice system9:25    Bystander recordings and their impact13:14  The challenges of prosecuting police violence17:17  The humanity of Oscar Grant18:53  How white and black people perceive law enforcement differently21:40  The fleeting nature of life for many black and brown Americans24:58  “The talk”26:45  What's changed since Oscar Grant's death, and what hasn't33:44  The need for a film about the school to prison pipeline37:09  The parents of the incarcerated Further reading:Cummings, André Douglas Pond, “Reforming Police,” 10 Drexel L.

On this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we're sharing our thoughtful conversation with writer and director Ryan Coogler (BLACK PANTHER, CREED, FRUITVALE STATION). An Oakland native, Ryan reveals how film became his family's second language and how his parents fostered his interest in cinema throughout his childhood. Later in our discussion, Ryan shares how he brought an athlete's mentality to film school by always trying to score a touchdown every time he picked up the camera to prove to himself and to those around him that he could build a career in filmmaking. Ryan also reflects on creating CREED with Sylvester Stallone, praising him as “the perfect collaborator” and acknowledging how he couldn't begrudge the creator of the ROCKY franchise for his cautiousness towards handing over writing duties for the first time in the franchise's history. We also discuss how the filmmakers that broke through in the culture Ryan consumed in his youth influenced his professional direction and how, by relying on his crew, Ryan is free to focus on his actors. - This episode is sponsored by Dallas Film Commission & Falca & TrueCut Motion Instagram: @dallasfilmcommission & @falcagram & @truecutmotion

Original Air Date: February 13th, 2019Award-winning actor and producer Michael B. Jordan discusses his skyrocketing career and why he says his life has already "exceeded his dreams.” Michael's breakout performance came in 2013's “Fruitvale Station,” directed by visionary Ryan Coogler. The duo teamed up again for the “Rocky” sequel, “Creed,” and then for the mega-blockbuster “Black Panther,” which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. Michael says after playing superhero villain Erik Killmonger in “Black Panther,” he went to therapy. “As a man, I think we get a lot of slack for … what it is to be masculine,” he says. “I don't really subscribe to that because I feel like everybody needs to unpack and talk, whether it's with a therapist or a close friend or family member.” Want more podcasts from OWN?

With the extraordinary success of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever it's a perfect time to revisit our 2018 conversation with its director, Ryan Coogler.  From college grad student to director of Creed and Black Panther in a short span of time, Ryan Coogler has kept his feet on the ground. He relies on his wife Zinzi Evans and former USC classmates who form the core of his working team. From his debut feature, Fruitvale Station, through his latest box-office smash, he has found ways to make each film personal to his own experience.  Leonard and Jessie are unabashed boosters of this talented filmmaker and loved having a quiet, intimate conversation with him.

Ludwig Göransson is one of the world's most accomplished composers and music producers. He's worked on blockbuster films such as "Venom," and "Tenet" and has been director Ryan Coogler's go-to film composer throughout his career, working on the scores for "Fruitvale Station," "Creed" and "Black Panther," the latter for which he won the Oscar for Best Original Score. The much-anticipated sequel, "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," finds Göransson returning to the world of Wakanda while having to introduce the underwater kingdom of Telokan. Please take a listen to our conversation as we discuss the pressure of having to follow up the original film, working with talented music artists such as Rihanna on the film's soundtrack, how he expanded upon his work from the first film, and more.
