Puss in Boots Gave Rimmick His Eyes: Sinners

In this Prime Cuts episode, we sink our teeth into Ryan Coogler’s Sinners (2025) — a Southern gothic vampire tale set in 1932 Mississippi. When twin brothers return home to open a juke joint, the night spirals into bloodshed, forcing us to ask: is this elevated horror with bite, or a beautiful mess? We debate the film’s themes of race, religion, and cultural theft, argue about its pacing and vampire lore, and wrestle with whether the story needed more room to breathe. It’s stylish, ambitious, and definitely divisive. Come for the blood. Stay for the argument.
