CoHosts Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan have a bloody good episode for you this time!The boys dive into Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’—a film blending horror, history, and heart. To help them on the hunt, they've invited pop-culture-spoken-word-guru and writer-commentator Omar Holmon, horror writer, and TV production pro, Steven Van Patton. Together, the panel explores the film's depiction of Jim Crow-era America, vampiric appropriation, music as resistance, and Michael B. Jordan's layers of performance. They celebrate the film’s refusal to be boxed in by genre and its commitment to authenticity, cultural nuance, and emotional storytelling.It's a complex, yet poetic look at America's mosaic roots, through a wide and bloody lens.Where To Find Them:Omar Holman:   - @OmarHolman (https://www.instagram.com/omarholman) on all platforms, including TikTokSteven Van Patten:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephen.vanpatten (the only Black one, as he jokes)  - Instagram: @svp_thinks    - Website: http://www.laughingblackvampire.comChris Ryan:  - Social: @ChrisRyanWrites    - Website: https://chrisryanwrites.wordpress.com Alex Simmons:    - Instagram: @AlexSimmonsSays    - Newsletter: “Simmons Says”Have any questions, comments, or suggestions?Then, please leave them in the Comments Section.Write: [email protected] follow us on ...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.TellTheDamnStory.comwww.Facebook.com/Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube.com/ Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you're enjoying these episodes, please take a moment to help wet our whistle by clicking on the link to ... ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠
