Director Ryan Coogler and actor Michael B. Jordan have cashed in on teaming up over the past decade, from Coogler's debut Fruitvale Station, to Black Panther, to Creed. This 2025 film, their fifth collaboration, sees Coogler double down on Michael B. Jordan - quite literally. Set in the 1932 Mississippi Delta, this genre-defying film sees Jordan play twin brothers who seek to open their own juke joint, only to be threatened by a clan of vampires. The film co-stars Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Jack O'Connell, Jayme Lawson, Delroy Lindo and introduces singer Miles Caton in his first film role. Earning $365 million at the box office to date, it is one of the best-received films of the year so far and an early contender for an Oscar nomination.

Unearthing among my grandfather's belongings a small folder of brittle mimeographed budgets dated throughout the 1940s and succinctly entitled "Goose Camp" opened a window into stories I grew up hearing around the supper table, and shed light onto an almost forgotten chapter of American waterfowling history. Details were sparse but extremely telling. To help bring those pages to life, I met with Bill Johnson at the Mississippi Wildlife Heritage Museum where together we traced the rise and abrupt disappearance of the Mississippi Delta goose camps in the late 1950s. If you've ever wondered about Deep South Canada goose hunting culture--or what those WW2-era goose hunters were really like--you'll appreciate this special, hit-close-home episode.   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 Sitka Gear Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

The infamous 1955 murder of Emmett Till rocked the Mississippi Delta region, and was a strong catalyst for the later phases of the Civil Rights movement. Importantly, his brutal murder brought renewed spotlight to the history of violent persecution of African Americans. We start this story by going all the way back to the beginning of the slave trade in 1619. We later see how slavery evolves over the next couple hundred years, taking us to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the Reconstruction Era. In order to comprehend Emmett's death, we first need to understand the abridged history which led to its occurrence. 

In 2019, an unrelenting flood swamped more than half a million acres in the Mississippi Delta's Yazoo Backwater. It took more than six months to recede. Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd reports on a pumping station project that could protect against destruction from future floods. And, after a yearslong journey, Anderson Jones is back at home. The sandbag levee protecting his house failed during the 2019 floods. O'Dowd reports on Jones' rebuilding process and his hopes for the new pump project. Then, Sierra Club Mississippi's Louie Miller says the pumps project would be an environmental injustice for poor communities in Vicksburg.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In this episode, we dive back into the film Sinners, not just as a movie, but as a cultural reckoning. We're breaking down how the film tells a deeper story about Black American folklife, Blues culture, and the enduring legacy of Blues People. This time, we're not just exploring themes; we're getting into the characters, the plot, and the ways they reveal the real-life struggle between tradition and transformation.Rather than just reviewing the film, we're asking why Sinners matters. It's not just entertainment, it's a bold statement about what it means to be a Blues person in a world where survival, spirituality, and cultural memory are constantly tested. We'll explore how the film reflects critical ideas like Blues Ecology, Clyde Woods' Development Arrested, and the legacy of the Plantation Complex. We'll also look at how the film's portrayal of Black womanhood, feminism, and colorism challenges or reinforces cultural narratives.Big Bill Broonzy's legacy will be front and center as we examine how his words and music resonate with the film's themes. As Broonzy once said, “They don't like the idea of hearing the old original way it went because it's said to carry them back to the horse and buggy days, and slavery time, and they don't want to think about that.” Just like his music, Sinners forces us to confront the past and ask hard questions about what's been lost and what survives, and how Ryan Cooger brings to life this visual story of Blues People, Blues Folk Belief, and Blues Culture of the time!We'll also dig into the cultural intersections of the Mississippi Delta, how Irish, Chinese, Black, and Afro-Indigenous communities shaped the Blues tradition. And we'll make connections to other cultural works like August Wilson's plays, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and Crossroads, exploring how each handles the intersection of performance, truth, and storytelling.To break it all down, I'm joined by Dr. Langston Collin Wilkins and Dr. Elisha Oliver, whose insights into Black folklore and cultural memory will help us unpack the film's deeper layers.This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a call to think critically about how Black life and Blues culture are represented and remembered. Tune in for a cultural reckoning where the Blues itself gets to testify.

Rebekah Nowell: The Gift of Grief | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this deeply moving episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, guest Rebekah Nowell shares her extraordinary journey of resilience, healing, and transformation through profound trauma, addiction, and grief. Raised in the Mississippi Delta within a missionary family, Rebekah recounts a childhood shaped by her parents' calling to serve abandoned children in Central America, where she lived in Costa Rica and Honduras until her teens. Her life took a devastating turn in December 2012 with the tragic loss of her two-year-old son, Brennan, in an accident involving her father, triggering a decade-long struggle with cocaine, alcohol, and unprocessed trauma from childhood molestation and eating disorders. A pivotal moment in April 2023 marked the beginning of her recovery, as she quit cocaine cold turkey, pursued accelerated resolution therapy, grief counseling, and later achieved 16 months of sobriety from alcohol by 2025, despite facing significant health challenges like low iron and gastrointestinal issues. Guided by faith and a supportive recovery community, Rebekah now dedicates her life to reaching women secretly grappling with addiction, particularly those hiding their pain behind a polished facade in places like Orange County. Her recitation of the “Holes” poem by Scott Lewis beautifully encapsulates her journey from despair to purpose, emphasizing the power of safe spaces to heal shame and inspire hope. This episode is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the universal connection forged through shared pain.#TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, this week with special guest Lee Murkey, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This week, Ryan Coogler's Sinners. Twin brothers Smoke and Stack return to the Mississippi Delta from Chicago, bringing with them money and booze. The duo plan to open a juke joint for the local community, and set about preparing for the launch. Little do the pair realise that something sinister is stalking through the night, lurching towards their speakeasy, drawn by the siren call of the blues. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

Jeff and Phil welcome Dolly Li, documentary filmmaker, journalist and cultural consultant on Ryan Coogler's epic vampire blockbuster Sinners. They discuss Dolly's documentary on The Untold Story of America's Southern Chinese, and the deep-rooted origins of the Mississippi Delta's Chinese American community; how Ryan Coogler's own family connection to the Delta Chinese inspired the Chinese characters in Sinners; and how Dolly worked with the filmmakers to make the movie historically accurate and authentic as possible -- right down to that one horny line of Chinese dialogue.

"Sinners" (2025) is a period piece which spirals from slow-burn drama, into a vampire bloodbath in vain of Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez's 'From Dusk Till Dawn in its second half, and has taken the box office by storm since its release this April.Marking the third collaboration between Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, and set in the sweltering atmosphere of the Mississippi Delta of the 1930's, Jordan plays dual roles as identical twin brothers caught in a web of family, guilt, and death.In this special truncated episode, we unpack how Coogler and Jordan continue to raise the bar, and if this film will leave a lasting legacy, or be lost in the shuffle of countless releases that will hit the market before Awards Season.Send us a textThank you for listening!

Mike and Kenny review and spot faith reflected in the latest film from writer / director Ryan Coogler which stars Michael B. Jordon in dual roles as Elijah "Smoke" and Elias "Stack" Moore, twin brothers returning from a mysterious time Chicago to their Mississippi Delta home town to start again. Set in the 1930's "Smoke" and "Stack," flush with cash and mystery on how they made it, seek to start again by opening a Juke Joint for the black community in their town.  Amidst the challenges they were expecting such as from the Klan, their biggest threat is supernatural evil.    Faith Spotted: The destructive power of temptation and greed, whether for riches, power, influence, or eternal life. Although sin and the brokenness of the world impact all of creation, people have freedom and choose to invite or let sin and unrighteousness into their lives. As taught in Scripture, God offers people the freedom to accept relationship with, and righteousness of, God. Likewise people choose to accept or invite sin/the Devil into their lives, rather than it invading or taking over.  Life outside the grace and love of God is not a blessing but a burden that imprisons the body and destroys one's spirit.  The film depicts the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 10:28 that one should not fear that which can kill only the body, but fear that which kills the soul.  The vampire /Dracula mythology and symbolism that dates back thousands of years depicts the struggle of evil against good.  The place and role of music in black culture and the black church.

Sinners is the fifth feature film written and directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan. (Coogler has never made a feature without Jordan.) After years of sequels and Marvel movies, it’s Coogler’s first wholly original movie based on no other source material whatsoever. Sinners is a sexy Southern musical horror gangster thriller set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta. With vampires. And it’s the No. 1 movie in the country. Plus: We read Jill Lepore’s New Yorker piece about reading a Penguin Classic on each of the first 100 days of President Trump’s second term. And then a Vox piece about giving up Spotify. And we started thinking about the ways that we’re all consuming culture — avoiding or giving up some things, immersing ourselves in other things, etc. — in these, let’s say, anxious times.

It's like everyone and their dog is talking about it right now, and honestly, it's got me all curious. I'm usually not one for horror flicks, but this one seems different. They say it plays like "Blade" and the symbolism underneath is just mind-blowing! I took my boys to the IMAX for this one, and let me tell you, it was an experience. From the cast's brilliant performance to the music that just hits right, "Sinners" takes you back to the Mississippi Delta in the 1930s, with all its gritty charm. Michael B. Jordan and the rest of the crew totally nailed it. But that's not all, the history and the undertones make it all the more captivating. Ryan Coogler's name is everywhere, and he's showing everyone that he's not just a "black director" but a powerhouse of talent, like when Ray Charles made a stand for owning his master records. Everyone's watching this rise, and honestly, it's inspiring. The film's already smashing box office records, and even Tom Cruise gave a shout-out! If you're thinking about skipping this at theaters, think again. It's got thrills, it's got depth, and it's an original story that keeps you hooked.

Send us a textA stunning achievement in genre filmmaking, "Sinners" transports us to the Mississippi Delta of 1932 where twin brothers find themselves caught between supernatural evil and the harsh realities of Jim Crow America. Ryan Coogler's masterful direction elevates what could have been a standard vampire tale into something truly extraordinary – a rich, textured exploration of brotherhood, community, and survival against impossible odds.Michael B. Jordan delivers what might be his career-best performance, portraying twins Smoke and Stack with such distinct personalities that you'll forget you're watching one actor in dual roles. The brothers return to their hometown with dreams of uplifting their community through music and business, only to face threats both supernatural and all-too-human. When Irish vampire Jack O'Connell arrives with his coven, promising eternal life but demanding blood sacrifice, the brothers must decide what they're willing to sacrifice to protect their people.Shot on breathtaking 70mm IMAX by cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw (the first woman to use this camera format), every frame feels like a painting that deserves to be studied. The film embraces darkness in ways few mainstream movies dare, creating a visual language that enhances both the horror elements and the historical setting. Ludwig Göransson's blues-infused score weaves throughout, becoming as essential to the storytelling as the dialogue itself.What makes "Sinners" truly special is how it refuses to be contained by genre expectations. Coogler seamlessly blends horror, drama, action, and even musical elements without ever losing focus on the emotional core of his story. The supporting cast shines throughout – Haley Steinfeld brings fire and strength, newcomer Miles Catton impresses in his debut, and Delroy Lindo delivers gravitas as Delta Slim. Yuami Masuku's portrayal of a hoodoo practitioner adds another layer to this richly textured world.Don't miss this landmark film that critics are calling the most original and exciting theatrical experience of the year. See it in IMAX if possible – your eyes, ears, and heart will thank you.Support the show

Wright Thompson grew up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, before going on to write for ESPN, The Atlantic, and the New York Times, among other publications. In 2018, he created the travel documentary show, TrueSouth, which is now in its 8th season on the SEC Network; and in 2020, he came out with a terrific book called Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last. Wright's latest book, The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi, examines the lasting impact and legacy of the Emmett Till murder, as well as the extraordinary efforts by some to obscure or distort the facts. It's one of the best books I've read in a long time, incredibly well researched and reported, and told with the insights that only a Mississippian could bring to the story. Sid talks to Wright about the remarkable journey of Emmett Till's cousin, Wheeler Parker, who was there the night of the abduction; the strong connection between the Mississippi Delta and Chicago; and why it took so many decades for the secrets of this horrendous crime to come to light.

This week we have William Lester from the Mississippi Delta here to explain his Trumpet turkey calls, and how to play this unique call that's just a bit different from a traditional Turpin-style trumpet. William is a seasoned, mixed-media artist who aside from trumpets is also known for his watercolor paintings and block prints of mostly turkeys and waterfowl backed by a Mississippi landscape, hand-made dove and duck decoys, and has many great stories to tell from past and present. Most importantly, he helps us understand the “craze” around trumpets. It's an interesting discussion.

Sign Up for the Boston Listener Meet Up Joe Boyd was there when Dylan went electric, when Pink Floyd was born, and when Paul Simon brought Graceland to the world. But far from being just another music industry insider, Boyd has spent decades exploring how the world's musical traditions connect and transform each other. His new book And the Roots of Rhythm Remain, is seventeen years in the making, and is in Tyler's words “the most substantive, complete, thorough, and well-informed book on world music ever written.” From producing Albanian folk recordings to discovering the hidden links between Mississippi Delta blues and Indian classical music, Boyd's journey reveals how musical innovation often emerges when traditions collide. He joins Tyler to discuss why Zulu music became politically charged in South Africa, what makes Albanian choral music distinct from Bulgarian polyphony, what it was like producing Toots and the Maytals, his role in the famous "Dueling Banjos" scene in Deliverance, his work with Stanley Kubrick on A Clockwork Orange, his experiences with Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, how he shaped R.E.M.'s sound on Fables of the Reconstruction, what really happened when Dylan went electric at Newport, how the Beatles integrated Indian music, what makes the Kinshasa guitar sound impossible to replicate, and how he maintains his collection of 6,000 vinyl LPs and 30,000 CDs, what he'll do next, and more.
