Sinners (2025) review + loving the arts & authenticity
from The Lavender Menace
This episode includes discussion of: “butch-femme” aesthetic photos, our problem with Pinterest, internet personas and the importance of being earnest (and also genuine!) Also: the importance of female singer-songwriters and how CINEMA IS BACK which might be a recession/fascism indicator... In discussing the the racial and historical background of Sinners (2025), we examine the portrayal of truth and legacy in this surprisingly good blockbuster movie. From lynching to sharecropping, the frankness with which Ryan Coogler portrays 1932 Mississippi was incredibly moving.Our recommendations: https://www.solidaritycinema.com/ and The Wedding by Dorothy West.01:04:04 — when we start talking about SinnersThanks for joining us for this episode!
