530 - Sinners (feat. Eric Sipple)

The rich tradition of Southern-fried vampires continues with Ryan Coogler's Sinners, a masterful mash-up of Delta blues, Irish folk, and the horrors of cultural appropriation. Paul, Arlo, and Eric rave about Michael B. Jordan's dual performance as twin gangsters Smoke and Stack, Ludwig Göransson's eclectic score, the frankness with which it explores America's long history of racism, and Coogler's audacious style. Plus, Paul finally saw the How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake.   NEXT: punches get personal with Thunderbolts*.
