When the Oscar nominations were announced this year, Ryan Coogler's “Sinners” set a record. It received sixteen nominations, the most for any film ever. The fact that it's, in part, a vampire movie, made by a director who's not yet forty, makes that feat all the more remarkable. Coogler—who previously directed “Creed” and “Black Panther”—sat down with the New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb to discuss the recurrent themes of history, faith, and race in his work, and how he refracted them through the lens of horror in “Sinners.” This segment originally aired on April 11, 2025. Further reading: “Ryan Coogler's Road to ‘Sinners,' ” by Jelani Cobb New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

As an extension of our coverage of Ryan Coogler's masterful film Sinners, this week we present to you a special conversation with author and professor, Dr. Yvonne Chireau. Dr Chireau has spent much of her academic career studying religious history and supernatural traditions, particularly within Africana religions, African American religious tradition, and American folklore. She has written extensively about Hoodoo practices and the African American Conjuring tradition, which led to her directly providing her consultant expertise on Coogler's film.In this fascinating conversation, she sits down with Nathan and friend of the show (and fellow author and professor) Brandon Grafius to discuss the complexity of religious expression within the film Sinners, as well as illuminating the ways these ancient religious practices have often been deeply influential and just as deeply misunderstood, particularly within film and the horror genre at large. It's a riveting and enlightening dialogue that we hope will more fully enrich your appreciation for the subject, as well as for Dr. Chireau's work and Ryan Coogler's film.

The Oscars are almost here! On the fifty- eighth episode of ATFT, my friends filmmaker Emma Catherine, movie lover Taylor Donaldson, and Emmy- winning photojournalist Cole Echevarria join this year's panel to discuss the Oscar nominated films and share our predicted winners! This episode is explicit and spoiler- filled.As Cole and I discussed in the “2025 in Film” episode, this past year has been a solid, diverse year for cinema and that is very much reflected in the Academy Award nominees. This year's awards season has largely been excitingly unpredictable, making the Oscar's more highly anticipated than usual. The four of us share many of the same favorite 2025 films such as Hamnet, One Battle After Another, and Sinners. The latter, which reunited one of the best actor- director collaborators of our time (Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler), has already made history as the most nominated film in Oscars history. There were several actors who became first time nominees from Renate Reinsve to Teyana Taylor to Delroy Lindo. It's a competitive year with so many great films and artists nominated. But there is one particular film and actor that we find overrated and it becomes a continuous topic of discussion… but you'll have to listen to the episode to find out about what we're talking about.This is the fourth annual Oscars special! Cole has been a part of this big episode all four years and this episode marks his 21st appearance on the All the Film Things! Since the Oscars is the “Super Bowl for film fans”, this episode was aimed to be more of a Sports Center/ panelist format. This is the first time Emma and Taylor have joined the Oscars special panel, making this Emma's second appearance on the show and Taylor's fifth! Emma joined our friend filmmaker Franklin Ritch and I for an analytical discussion on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest this past September while Taylor hasn't been on the podcast since the 1999 in Film episode, which was released a year and a half ago. This episode was recorded on February 17, 2026. It was originally 2 hours and 45 minutes so it really had to be trimmed down and, sadly, some hilarious moments, were left on the cutting room floor.After a sold out Cirque de Mort show in October, Emma will soon be performing in another aerial showcase for Jax Beach Aerial Arts this May! This spring showcase is in development so there will be more information to come! I'll be sure to post about it on the All the Films Things Instagram but follow Emma on Instagram to stay updated! Taylor, who is based in North Carolina, is currently looking for a new job! Though she has a degree in film and experience in film production, she is very open to working in other industries. After working with her on a few projects, I can attest she is wonderful, hard- working, and easy to work with! Reach out to her on LinkedIn about potential job opportunities!In this episode, Cole, Taylor, Emma, and I go through each category sharing our thoughts on what should win and what will likely win, according to Gold Derby and Cole's new favorite writer Scott Fineberg from The Hollywood Reporter. Cole, who continuously brings up Fineberg, shared great insight about the documentaries nominated this year. He also has a short rant about a film that shouldn't have been nominated for Best Visual Effects. Cole and I's banter nearly hits our peak in this episode, partly because of those two reasons. Taylor reveals which Oscar- nominated actor scares her, Emma shares her least favorite Safdie brother and I once again champion my favorite actor who has a chance at earning his second Oscar this year. All this and much more on this new episode of All the Film Things!ATFT Announcement!: All the Film Things will be back on April 8! Stay updated by following @all.the.film.things on Instagram!

The two dive into Sinners — from how she landed the role to the powerful lessons she learned while portraying Annie.“My team said, ‘Ryan Coogler wants to meet you for his next film.' And I was like, ‘Ryan Coogler knows who I am?'” she recalls, reflecting on the moment she was first invited to audition. Fast forward to today: Wunmi has earned her first Academy Award nomination and picked up her first BAFTA just last week.Wunmi also opens up about why she chose to announce her second pregnancy at the Golden Globe Awards. “I wanna be present, and if I'm divorcing my head and my body, I'm not really welcoming the baby into this too,” she says, referencing the difficulties of keeping her pregnancy under wraps. “It feels like you're kind of taking them for granted. They're here with you.”Spotting a gap in the maternity fashion industry, Wunmi shares why she decided to launch her own line, Iyadé — meaning “mother has arrived” in Yoruba. She even hints at what she might be wearing to the Academy Awards next weekend. Listen here!The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

The film has received critical acclaim and was a commercial success, grossing $369 million worldwide on a $90–100 million budget. In addition, the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute listed it among the top 10 films of 2025. The film garnered several awards and nominations, including a record 16 nominations at the 98th Academy Awards and 13 at the 79th British Academy Film Awards, with Coogler winning the award for Best Original Screenplay at the latter.

It also earned four wins at the 31st Critics' Choice Awards, two wins at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards (including Cinematic and Box Office Achievement), and two wins at the 32nd Actor Awards (including Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture). Delroy Lindo and the film's visual effects team (VFX Producer James Alexander and VFX Supervisor Michael Ralla) were kind enough to spend some time speaking with Will Mavity, while Nadia Dalimonte got the chance to speak with Wunmi Mosaku, Giovanni Lago spoke with Miles Caton, and Next Best Picture Owner & Editor In Chief Matt Neglia had the opportunity to speak with cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw and the film's sound team (Production Sound Mixer Chris Welcker, Supervising Sound Editor Benny Burtt, and Re-Recording Mixers Brandon Proctor & Steve Boedderker).

We have an epic episode for you this week about an epic film from last year (#2025stillalive). Ryan Coogler has been a striking creative visionary in cinema for years now. With SINNERS, he unleashed a tour de force of creative storytelling, groundbreaking behind-the-scenes negotiations, and a powerhouse commentary on culture, art, and history. Sinners has now been nominated for a record-breaking 16 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and continues to find and captivate new audiences daily.We invited a panel of friends and FoGgers to discuss this film with us, including returning friends of the show Chris Clark and Natashia Deon (attorney, professor, and author of The Perishing) and new-to-the-FoG guest Shaherah White (entrepreneur and host of the Love Manifested podcast).

Matt and Eric discuss Ryan Coogler's new X-FILES series getting a lead and showrunner, the evil Paramount buying Warner Bros. Winona Ryder and Eva Green joining WEDNESDAY, the Becky-verse, and more...
Starting off in FOLLOW UP, we've got a tax economist who actually made money betting against the "efficiency" of Elon's budget-slashing fever dreams, while Tesla is busy trying to dodge a $243 million jury verdict for an Autopilot-assisted fatality. Not content with being legally liable, Tesla is also suing the California DMV because they're offended someone called their "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" marketing deceptive—ironic, since Jack Dorsey just "proactively" halved the staff at Block to make room for more AI slop. Speaking of which, Goldman Sachs is here to remind us that all this AI spending added a grand total of zero to the US GDP last year, mostly because we're just exporting all that cash to overseas chip makers while 80% of execs admit the tech hasn't actually done anything for productivity yet.Moving into IN THE NEWS, Sam Altman had the audacity to compare ChatGPT's energy-sucking habits to the 20-year evolution of a human, though the internet wasn't exactly buying the "my bot is just like a baby" defense. Anthropic actually stood its ground against the Pentagon's demand for killer robots and mass surveillance, so naturally, the military just signed a deal to put Elon's Grok in their classified systems instead—because what could go wrong with an "edgy" LLM in the war room? Meanwhile, cities are dumping AI surveillance contracts as citizens start a literal "smash-the-snitch-box" campaign against Flock's license plate readers, Google's AI is busy inserting racial slurs into news alerts, and the White House is apparently harboring a staffer moonlighting as a racist "masterpiece" creator on X. We've also got Reddit being slapped with a $20 million fine in the UK for being lazy with age checks, while Discord and Apple scramble to build verification tools that hopefully won't leak your entire identity to a hacker in Belarus.In MEDIA CANDY, the Paramount-Skydance merger is leaving the industry in a cold sweat of "synergy" layoffs, but at least we're getting more Game of Thrones spinoffs and Star Trek reboots to rot our brains. Face/Off 2 lost its director, Ryan Coogler is taking on The X-Files, and Google wants to use AI to turn music into generic "lo-fi" background noise for the masses.Over in APPS & DOODADS, OpenAI is planning a 2027 smart speaker that literally watches you through a camera—because you definitely wanted a $300 Sam Altman-shaped eye in your kitchen—while the Dark Sky creators are back with "Acme Weather" for the low price of $25 a year.We wrap up THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE with a deep dive into "Under Pressure" and Coruscant's urban sprawl, leaving us to reminisce about the days when KPT Bryce was the pinnacle of tech—back when "generative art" was just a fractal that took six hours to render.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

As Oscar night comes ever closer, Josh and Andrew travel down the “Rocky Road to Dublin” for the most-nominated film in Academy history, the much beloved (except by Variety) barn-burner Sinners!

After, they have One More Thing, recommending another Carpenter-esque horror with the Master's Prince of Darkness and Slidebean's video essay on home video, The Biggest Mistake in the History of Hollywood.Next up, The Take-Up goes under pressure with Disc-Connected's Ryan Verrill to talk about the A24 drama Aftersun.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to introduce the next film to the reviewed, "Soul Men." The 2008 film follows two estranged soul-singing legends who agree to participate in a reunion performance at the Apollo Theater to honor their recently deceased band leader. The movie stars Samuel L. Jackson and the late great Bernie Mac. Available to stream for free on Tubi.The random topic this week we tackle the complex and difficult incident that unfolded at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards when John Davidson, a Tourette's syndrome activist and subject of the nominated film "I Swear," involuntarily shouted racial slurs—including the N-word—while Black actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented an award.This isn't a simple story. It's a collision of disability rights, anti-Black racism, media responsibility, and institutional failure.What happened: Davidson, who has spent decades advocating for Tourette's awareness, experienced involuntary vocal tics throughout the ceremony. His condition causes coprolalia—the uncontrollable utterance of socially inappropriate words. When Jordan and Lindo took the stage, Davidson's tic produced the N-word, audible throughout the venue.The BBC's failure: Despite broadcasting on a two-hour delay (giving them time to edit), the BBC left the slur in the broadcast AND on iPlayer for 15+ hours. Yet they DID edit out other content, including a "Free Palestine" statement and political jokes. The selective editing reveals a catastrophic failure/purposeful behavior in judgment and priorities.The complications: This incident sits at the painful intersection of two marginalized communities. Davidson has no control over his tics—they represent the opposite of his actual beliefs. Yet Black attendees, including production designer Hannah Beachler, experienced real racial trauma. Lindo told Vanity Fair he wished BAFTA had spoken to them afterward. Host Alan Cumming's apology said "sorry if you were offended" was woefully inadequate.Why this matters for cinema: The film "I Swear" was nominated for multiple BAFTAs and won three awards, including Best Actor for Robert Aramayo's portrayal of Davidson. The movie exists to educate about Tourette's. Yet BAFTA and the BBC failed both the disability community AND the Black community in how they handled this moment.We discuss:- The impossible position both communities were put in due to the BBC's actions or lack thereof- Why institutional preparation and response failed catastrophically- The difference between individual accountability and systemic responsibility- How ableism and anti-Black racism played out in the aftermath (including the idea of "he meant that shit" comments)- What should have happened vs. what did happen- The broader conversation about representation, disability, and whose comfort gets prioritizedThis is a conversation about nuance, compassion, and holding institutions accountable when they fail vulnerable communities.Full Black on Black Cinema episodes coming soon.

We have of course ticked off a few of the front runners already on the show in recent months - scroll back in your podcast feed to hear our chats with Ryan Coogler about Sinners and Chloe Zhao about Hamnet. But there's always room for more, right?Which brings us to Weapons – writer-director Zach Cregger's astonishing Hansel and Gretel-esque horror fairy tale, structured like Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia. The film hit cinemas last summer and quickly became a surprise box office smash, earning a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Amy Madigan along the way. It tells the tale of a town in Pennsylvania who wake up one morning to find their children missing. Ring camera footage reveals that at precisely 2:17am, an entire class of kids – bar one child – got up and ran from their homes, running through the night towards an unknown destination, with their arms spread wide. The film grapples with the aftermath of that mysterious event, zooming in one-by-one on members of this community as they wadde through the trauma, the confusion, the suspicion, the guilt. Julia Garner plays the alcoholic teacher of the class that disappeared. Cary Christopher plays Alex Lilly, the sole kid remaining. And Josh Brolin is in the mix too, as a dad besieged by strange dreams – including one of a giant assault rifle in the sky that doubles up as an alarm clock, in an image that set the internet ablaze with debate.What does it all mean? In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Zach responds to the many different interpretations of the film among film fans – including the suggestion that it's a response to the ongoing epidemic of school shootings in America. He tells me what he's come to understand he was working through while writing the script – and we dig into details about his original draft for the film, titled Dancing In The Head, which began with 27 suicides and at one point had an entire segment dedicated to the inner-life of the film's terrifying antagonist, Aunt Gladys.

The episode opens with an energetic breakdown of the day’s biggest entertainment stories, spotlighting Ryan Coogler’s groundbreaking moment as the first Black person to win Best Original Screenplay at the BAFTA Awards for Sinners. His emotional speech about community, creativity, and love has fueled major Oscar buzz, especially with the film’s record-breaking 16 Academy Award nominations. From there, the show dives into the viral chatter surrounding Janet Jackson, who was recently spotted at a New Edition concert with Mustafa Farrakhan Sr., sparking speculation about a budding relationship rooted in legacy and influence—though neither has confirmed the romance. Listeners also get an intimate look at Keke Palmer’s candid revelation that she’s “almost 100% sure” she’s asexual, a moment widely praised for its honesty and representation. Finally, things heat up as T.I. and 50 Cent’s ongoing feud reaches new heights: from Verzuz disagreements to diss tracks, social media jabs, and family members jumping into the fire, their clash has escalated into one of the most talked‑about beefs in hip‑hop right now.
