In this episode of Reel Talk, the Fly Nerd Group dives deep into Ryan Coogler’s latest cinematic masterpiece, Sinners. Set in 1932 Mississippi, the film stars Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return home to open a juke joint, only to confront a supernatural evil that challenges their very existence.

We explore how Coogler blends horror, history, and Black spirituality, using vampires as metaphors for systemic oppression and cultural erasure. The film’s rich tapestry includes themes of music as a conduit for ancestral connection, critiques of organized religion, and the resilience found in African heritage.

Join us as we unpack the film’s layered narrative, its cultural significance, and how Sinners redefines the vampire genre through a Black lens. It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss.
