Episode 167: Sinners

from BIRD PROTOCOL · host Cemetery Sound

What’s good, homies?! This week, we’re talking about a recent release and a filmmaker who hasn’t missed yet. It’s our review of Ryan Coogler’s recent genre-bending vampire flick “Sinners” starring Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo! Plus, a conversation about Coogler’s career, filmography, and skills as a filmmaker.I’m gonna keep it short and sweet… we loved this movie. Its thematic richness is equal to its enjoyability on the big screen. It’s an example of someone taking a big swing artistically, commercially, and technically… and totally succeeding. Yeah, we have a few nits to pick, but overall it’s a GOOD ASS TIME at the movies that sits with you long after the credits roll (especially if you’re musically inclined). It’s fun, funny, thrilling, soulful, and surprisingly horny. It’s got Irish vampires, blues music, magic, the KKK getting wrecked, and two Michael B. Jordans… What’s not to love? Plus, it looks gorgeous, sounds amazing, and has a killer soundtrack. Join us as we share our reaction to the film and have a deeper discussion about why we loved it. Furthermore, we take some time to discuss Ryan Coogler as a filmmaker and why he’s quietly becoming one of the most important and interesting people making movies. There are many reasons including the deals he made surrounding the release of this film, his ability to keep a creative vision and voice while remaining fresh with each release, his ability to merge American pop film with auteurism and independent filmmaking, his overall profitability, his ability to tell human stories, and his love for movies and understanding of the medium. We also talk about “Creed”, “Fruitvale Station”, “Black Panther”, and explore the themes/ideas/voice that tie them together.That’s all for this week! Go see “Sinners”!
