In the latest episode of The Movie Power Hour, the boys ramble about Ryan Coogler's latest film, Sinners. Starring a double dose of Michael B. Jordan, the film has been highly praised by critics and moviegoers alike. The boys also watched the latest offering from the Philippou bros, Bring Her Back, the follow-up to their fantastic film Talk To Me. Did the films live up to expectations? Listen and find out!

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive into Sinners (2025), Ryan Coogler's stylish, vampire-infused crime drama. They unpack the film's layered mix of organized crime, race, and spirituality, exploring how the story of two brothers, Smoke and Stack, goes beyond surface-level culture war narratives. From period-piece reflections on Jim Crow and Prohibition to the symbolic power of music as both liberation and temptation, the hosts trace themes of freedom, fellowship, and deception. They spotlight how Coogler flips expectations: vampires sell “unity” while embodying enslavement, and entertainment becomes both healing and a trap. With sharp insights into character dynamics, cultural commentary, and theological undertones, Chris and BB argue that Sinners delivers more than anti-woke bait, it's a Trojan horse of deeper truths about power, consensus, and the human struggle between worldly desire and higher purpose.

Kyle, Joe, and Rick review the horror film "Sinners." Directed and written by Ryan Coogler with music by Ludwig Göransson. The film stars Michael B.

Sometimes a movie comes out that's so good we build a whole episode around it. Today, there are two. Martha and Pete get together to talk about the role that music plays in telling a story through three truly excellent films. Homework for the episode: Sinners (2025, dir. Ryan Coogler), KPop Demon Hunters (2025, dir. Chris Appelhans and Maggie Kang), Inside Llewyn Davis (2013, dir. Joel and Ethan Coen) Music in the episode: I Lied to You (performed by Miles Conton); Golden (performed by Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami), and Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song) (performed by Oscar Issac and Marcus Mumford)

Tonight on Triple Feature, we peel back more than just plot—this episode explores how each film was built, the bold choices behind them, and what makes them tick both on screen and in the cutting room.First, Sinners, the ambitious 2025 hybrid of Southern Gothic horror, musical, and supernatural thriller from Ryan Coogler. Coogler not only directed but wrote and produced, putting this deeply personal project through his Proximity Media banner. It was rumored to have sparked a fierce studio bidding war early on. The film was shot over spring and summer 2024 on location in Louisiana, and it pushed technical boundaries by being shot on 65 mm film—including IMAX 15-perf and Ultra Panavision 70 formats—allowing Coogler and cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw to shift between widescreen and immersive aspect ratios. Coogler also consulted real-life twins to help Michael B. Jordan ground his dual roles—Smoke and Stack—with distinct emotional and physical nuances. The production even reused costumes originally designed for Blade after that project shifted direction, thanks to designer Ruth E. Carter.Sinners is more than a genre film: it's built with weight, history, and intention, demanding you think about racially charged myth, redemption, and community as much as it scares you.Next up is Drop, directed by Christopher Landon and co-written by Jillian Jacobs & Chris Roach. On paper, it's a taut thriller: a widowed mother on her first date in years suddenly receives chilling anonymous messages via “DigiDrop” threatening the lives of her son and sister unless she follows orders—including committing murder. But behind that premise, the film draws from a real-life anxiety: the idea of unexpected AirDrops in public spaces. Production began in Ireland in April 2024, and the movie's contained setting (almost entirely within a restaurant and tied intimately to a digital device) turned constraint into tension. The director even explained that the final act's identity reveal and pivot underwent dramatic changes deep into post-production. The villain behind “Let's Play” commands the narrative with digital terror—a modern twist on classic “phone call from nowhere” horror tactics.Lastly, Echo Valley brings us out of the city and into Pennsylvania farmland, where Julianne Moore plays a horse trainer whose life becomes entwined with the state of her daughter, played by Sydney Sweeney. The screenplay, penned by Brad Ingelsby, layers in addiction, familial secrets, and the quiet violence that festers in isolated communities. Moore anchors the emotional ground, imbuing her character with both grief and steely resolve, while Sweeney provides the restless, volatile counterpart. The tension in Echo Valley often breathes through landscape and silence—what's not said becomes as dangerous as what is. The film has been praised for allowing Moore and Sweeney to take the emotional reins and carry scenes with minimal exposition, trusting the actors and the visuals to convey the weight.Three films. Three different modes of storytelling: Sinners with its genre-bending ambition and technical daring; Drop with its high-concept, digital-age suspense and careful spatial design; Echo Valley with its character-driven brood and sense of place. All three ask us to lean in—not just watch, but feel the mechanics behind them.

Gartbage is back and we're heading south with several Michael B Jordan's for Ryan Coogler's period horror musical SINNERS! As always, we're discussing with full spoilers.We're tracing Sinners' path from conception to theatre, from Coogler's visit to a cotton plantation outside of Atlanta, to discovering Miles Caton and treating Jack O'Connell like Beyonce, to one of the best theatre experiences of the year.This film trusts its audiences in ways that recent blockbusters haven't, so we're getting into some of the details that make up this (our?) world: Hoodoo, the Great Migration, Juke Joints, Choctaw vampire hunters, we've got it all.Plus, Erin breaks down how Ludwig Goransson's blues-based score helps tell this story of racism, colonialism, and vampires.

Living in a post-Venice/Telluride/Toronto world means it's time get serious about our Oscar predictions and that's just what we're doing this week. On episode 307 of the AwardsWatch podcast, AW Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson is joined by Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to look at what shined at the fests, what lost its luster and the introduction of a new bombshell in the villa. In our conversation, we begin with the top winners at Venice and with Alexander Payne's contentious jury, including how Jim Jarmusch's Father Mother Sister Brother could factor in and if Benny Safdie's Silver Lion Best Director win for The Smashing Machine was what that film needed. Next we move to Telluride, where Hamnet was the most-liked film (while we still await the results of Michael's Telluride Blog polls of critics and non-critics) and how the Cannes winners held their ground. Moving to Toronto and Hamnet's People's Choice Award win keeps it at as a top tier contender and we talk about some films, like 1st runner-up Frankenstein, fared better at TIFF than it did at Venice and Telluride. Then we dive into Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, which began screening last week. While Ryan and Sophia had the film at the top of their predictions list last month, I was the idiot who rashly dropped it out of my top 10. That mistake is corrected here and we talk about the narratives at play for PTA, Chloé Zhao for Hamnet, Ryan Coogler for Sinners and Joachim Trier for Sentimental Value. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 1h37m. We will be back next week with a preview of the 2025 New York Film Festival. Till then, let's get into it.

Send us a textWelcome back to DMR!Sinners (2025) is a bold, genre-blending film that fuses supernatural horror with rich musical drama, all set in the haunting backdrop of 1930s Mississippi. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the movie follows twin brothers—played by Michael B. Jordan—who return to their hometown to open a juke joint and escape their violent pasts. What unfolds is a slow-burning, atmospheric story layered with blues, gospel, and soul music that doesn't just underscore the scenes—it drives the emotion and tension. The visuals are lush and haunting, and the story avoids cheap scares in favor of deeper psychological and cultural unease.What makes Sinners stand out is its emotional depth and originality. Instead of relying on franchise familiarity or overused horror tropes, it dives into themes of redemption, racial trauma, faith, and family legacy with sincerity and craft. Jordan delivers a nuanced dual performance, and the supporting cast brings authenticity to the story's gritty, soulful tone. Critically acclaimed and a box office hit, Sinners has earned major awards and resonated with audiences for being more than just a horror film—it's a powerful, character-driven experience that lingers long after the credits roll. This film has a near perfect score on RT from both the critics and audience. Also, the BIG NEWS, DMR is now part of the Audible Creators Program!

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by A-King and Jayson Rodriguez for a dynamic deep dive into the world of Black cult classics—films that continue to shape culture, conversation, and identity across generations. The episode kicks off with an introduction to the concept of Black cult classics [00:00], before unpacking what truly defines a “classic” in this space [02:52].Together, they examine the cultural impact and the power of representation in film [05:53], while also spotlighting the role of actors and directors in pushing stories forward [09:04]. The discussion explores how genres within Black cinema have evolved [11:55], touching on the controversial legacy of Blaxploitation [14:44] and Eddie Murphy’s groundbreaking influence in the 1980s [17:44]. The conversation then shifts to the 1990s, celebrated as a golden era for Black films [21:05], followed by a lively debate on quality versus cult status [23:49]. After reflecting on how these dynamics continue to shape the future of Black cinema [27:04], the trio engages in a spirited comparison of “hood films” and “love films” [40:02], before branching into discussions on other genres like comedy, biopics, and more [42:48]. Romance and dramedy emerge as critical forces in shaping narratives around Black love and identity [46:32], while Tyler Perry’s controversial reign in Black film becomes a focal point [50:13]. This naturally leads into a comparison of Spike Lee and Tyler Perry’s distinct legacies [54:40], and a spotlight on the new generation of filmmakers such as Ryan Coogler and Jordan Peele [01:01:14]. The group also unpacks the complex role of slave movies in Black cinema [01:07:22], questioning their place in shaping narratives of identity and history. Finally, they close the episode on a playful note with a game of “How Many Black Movies Have You Seen?” [01:09:47], blending nostalgia, critique, and cultural appreciation. This episode highlights the enduring impact of Black films and the ongoing journey of representation, storytelling, and ownership in Hollywood. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do the antagonistic forces in your story escalate distinctly from the protagonists' journey? We often struggle to develop the middle stages of a story. Could this be because we focus  on our protagonists' journeys and plot structure more than on how the antagonistic powers are awakened, wronged, discovered, gathering strength and revealing themselves? In this episode, Chas and Stu are joined by professional screenwriter and playwright Kim Ho to explore how a generative story cycle (from tabletop role-playing game MOTHERSHIP) can be used to develop stories, not just write them better. This cycle is TOMBS: Transgression - Omens - Manifestation - Banishment - Slumber. Kim also contrasts this cycle with the Onset, Discovery, Confirmation, Confrontation cycle identified by horror philosopher Noel Carroll, as well as the philosophy of the FINAL DESTINATION franchise as analysed by The Morbid Zoo. By applying the TOMBS cycle to Ryan Coogler's amazing 2025 original feature SINNERS, we discover how focusing on the rising power of the various sources of antagonism can generate narrative fuel (and make your second Act sing); force your protagonists to Survive, Solve or Save (pick one); and how this escalation in antagonism can be mapped quite separately from your protagonists' character arcs.  To prove that TOMBS does not just work for horror stories, we polled our patreons for which other genres to explore. Stay turned for our next episode where we apply the TOMBS cycle to thriller REBEL RIDGE and comedy classic MEET THE PARENTS.

Send us a textWelcome back to DMR!Sinners (2025) is a bold, genre-blending film that fuses supernatural horror with rich musical drama, all set in the haunting backdrop of 1930s Mississippi. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the movie follows twin brothers—played by Michael B. Jordan—who return to their hometown to open a juke joint and escape their violent pasts. What unfolds is a slow-burning, atmospheric story layered with blues, gospel, and soul music that doesn't just underscore the scenes—it drives the emotion and tension. The visuals are lush and haunting, and the story avoids cheap scares in favor of deeper psychological and cultural unease.What makes Sinners stand out is its emotional depth and originality. Instead of relying on franchise familiarity or overused horror tropes, it dives into themes of redemption, racial trauma, faith, and family legacy with sincerity and craft. Jordan delivers a nuanced dual performance, and the supporting cast brings authenticity to the story's gritty, soulful tone. Critically acclaimed and a box office hit, Sinners has earned major awards and resonated with audiences for being more than just a horror film—it's a powerful, character-driven experience that lingers long after the credits roll. This film has a near perfect score on RT from both the critics and audience. Also, the BIG NEWS, DMR is now part of the Audible Creators Program, meaing you the listener can become a member for 30 days for free, just click on the link in the show or below follow the prompts and enjoy hundreds of great titles, you will be assisting DMR if you chose to become a member past the 30 day free trial (T&C Apply). https://www.audibletrial.com/aOGYPREnjoy - DMRSupport the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.
