Oscar season is six months away, but we’ve already seen one of the best films of 2025. And believe it or not… it’s a vampire movie. The difference is...
Online discourse has become a fun part of enjoying and dissecting big pop culture events. But after seeing all the commentary around Ryan Coogler's Sinners, our pal Brittany Luse has one question: are we in a media literacy crisis? Difference of opinion is one thing, but it feels like some viewers are missing important clues or misreading the film entirely - and it doesn't stop with Sinners. Today we've got an episode of the podcast It's Been A Minute that explores what this could mean for the way we engage with the world at large.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

With Sinners, Ryan Coogler moves beyond franchises to deliver a bold, original film that's part musical, part horror, and entirely unforgettable. We look at how this ambitious story set in 1930s Mississippi is winning over critics and audiences alike.

We can't say that it would have occurred to us to pair the new Tim Robinson/Paul Rudd comedy FRIENDSHIP with THE MASTER if writer-director Andrew DeYoung hadn't specifically invoked Paul Thomas Anderson's 2012 psychological drama, but the two films do wind up being unexpectedly complementary portraits of relationships between emotionally unstable men. Plus, we're happy to have an excuse to revisit THE MASTER, a slippery film wherein nearly every scene has a claim to being the most important one. So this week we're taking a closer look at a few of those scenes and the multiple interpretations they invite. And in Feedback we're still fielding listener interpretations of SINNERS, this time one that addresses one of Tasha's only complaints about the film. Please share your thoughts about THE MASTER, FRIENDSHIP, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Camille is an astrologer, musician, writer, civil servant from Washington, D.C. To her, Astrology is a marriage of the human condition with the cosmic condition. As above, so below. As below, so above. Over several years, she has seen hundreds of clients and has built a practice that celebrates that connection to the cosmos. Her consults are steeped in the soulful concepts & archetypal poetry of Evolutionary Astrology & are informed by the technical & traditional techniques of Hellenistic Astrology. Laura adds to Camille's body of work on Neptune & the Black condition. This episode is dedicated to Neptune - the God and Goddess of the sea, of dreams, and of imagination. Laura's hypothesis: Neptune is the illusion and belief that White is superior; when in reality, White People don't truly believe this. Whiteness is deception and theft. You do not steal from People of the Global Majority if they are culturally and economically poor. Neptune, depending on the natal position or by transit, can inflate someone's ideal of themselves. Throughout history, a group of people subjugated another group by casting a veil over them to make them believe they are less than. In reimagining Neptune, Neptune is seen as a malefic through the cis-hetero patriarchal white supremacist lens because Neptune is anti-capitalist. A Neptune transit can awaken someone to their true essence and in turn, reclaim their sovereignty and agency. ⏰ Timestamps ⏰ 00:22 Introducing Camille Michelle Gray and her interest in Neptune 5:19 Some facts about Neptune 7:04 Camille's Neptune significations 8:17 Laura's Neptune significations 8:32 Richard Tarnas' Neptune significations 12:36 Laura's Neptune hypothesis 13:36 Camille's work Neptune and the Black condition 18:36 Neptune and mythology 26:26 Neptune as assimilation 29:50 Neptune as psychedelics, plant medicines, and cultural appropriation of spiritual practices. 30:53 Neptune as Hollywood and Film 31:40 Neptune in Aries 34:47 John Randolph's chart - The Nottoway Plantation 38:38 Neptune in Aries historically 39:48 The Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 45:22 Neptune predictions for the moment 49:44 Ryan Coogler and Sinners 1:01:47 Beyonce and Cowboy Carter 1:04:28 Kendrick Lamar and the Superbowl 1:07:38 Camille's predictions for Neptune and politics 1:11:46 Saturn and Neptune in Aries 1:17:54 How to work with Camille Show Notes: Camille's Website Camille's Instagram Natal Chart & Transit Readings ORDER MY BOOK HOW TO MANIFEST Laura Chung Instagram Laura Chung's Website Laura Chung's Tik Tok YouTube Channel Awaken and Align Instagram Connect with Awaken and Align: If you enjoyed the podcast and you feel called, please share it, and tag me!

Michael Ralla joins the podcast to share his journey through the world of visual effects, with a focus on his latest project as VFX Supervisor on the film Sinners. He discusses how he worked closely with cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, whose fearless approach to lighting and darkness pushed the creative envelope. The episode features a deep conversation about the differences between film and digital, the evolving language of color, and how these choices impact storytelling—insights that are especially relevant to the visual style of Sinners. Michael also opens up about his unconventional path into VFX, from his early ambitions as a heavy metal drummer to finding his footing in sound engineering, and ultimately discovering his passion for compositing. He reflects on his formative years at Scanline, learning the ropes through hands-on experience, and how that foundation led him to major studios like Digital Domain and ILM. Throughout the episode, Michael's candid perspective offers a rare look at the challenges and excitement of modern visual effects, as well as the importance of staying adaptable in an ever-changing industry.

The year 1963 was a watershed moment for civil rights, with Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Medgar Evers leading the movement. But rollbacks of civil rights and racial justice ideals abound in 2025. Author Peniel Joseph unpacks the progress made in 1963 and the political climate in the U.S. now that is undoing some of that progress. And, the new horror movie "Sinners," where Michael B. Jordan plays twin brothers who return to their Mississippi hometown after years working for the Chicago Mafia. The film is making waves in the box office, and author and professor Tananarive Due explains how it challenges ideas around the Black horror genre.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Junk Food Dinner returns with three very random, very different films to wet your weird cinema whistle!Up first, low-budget Baltimore filmmaker Don Dohler brings us a tale of a reanimated corpse that moves into a suburban neighborhood and starts giving music lessons (and also killing people) in Fiend from 1980. Then, Dean Cameron stars in a classic slobs vs snobs tale set in a ski resort in Ski School from 1991. This R-rated comedy was a staple of late-night cable TV in the 90's but does it hold up? We find out. Finally, we get a rare look into the world of early 90's Japanese dance, fashion and music in the 1993 V-Cinema straight-to-video flick Heartbreaker: With Love from a Bullet.

Ryan Coogler's Sinners feels like two movies in one and both are phenomenal pieces of media. At once a beautiful, heartbreaking, and emotional depiction of Jim Crow era America and a charming, hilarious, and horrific exploration of faith, culture, and folklore. Ghouls unpack their takeaways from a film ripe with meaning and impact diving into the intersectionality, intentionality, and fantastical nature of the film.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to announce the next film, "Sinners." The film follows twin brothers trying to leave their troubled lives behind, but return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. The random topic this week is all about (RG3) Robert Griffin III's comments about Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark's rivalry in the WNBA and the blowback he received from Ryan Clark. The back and forth between the two commentators also spilled into issues of race that RG3 seems to not want to address but then appears to be upset at the idea of his own blindspots and racial fetish behaviors being highlighted by others.
Online discourse has become a fun part of enjoying and dissecting big pop culture events. But after seeing all the commentary around Ryan Coogler's Sinners - one of the biggest cultural juggernauts of the year - Brittany has one question: are we in a media literacy crisis? Difference of opinion is one thing, but it feels like some viewers are missing important clues or misreading the film entirely - and it doesn't stop with Sinners. To help work through this, Pop Culture Happy Hour's Aisha Harris and Code Switch's B.A. Parker join the show to figure out what this could mean for the way we engage with the world at large.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
The movie ends, and the credits roll. That used to be your cue to start heading to the parking lot to debrief with your friends. That was before the era of the post-credits scene, which often teases the next installment, or offers one last joke or thrill that you'll miss if you don't stick around. But is it really worth it to stick around? Today we're talking about the state of the post-credits scene, including Sinners, Pixar and Marvel movies, and more.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

They break down its themes of code-switching, identity, and whether they'd take the vampire's deal. Bob shares a new voice trick, introduces a new partner in "the firm,” and Bob, Monét and Jacob each tell their side of what happened during an impromptu business meeting.
