Sinners - The Scariest Thing In This Oscar-Winner Isn't The Vampires

The scariest thing about Sinners isn't the Vampires...

Robby loves horror movies, and he's loved rooting for the Best Original Screenplay Oscar ever since he was in high school. Jaclynn loves allegory, loves metaphor, and hates institutionalized evil so this was the perfect story for her. Cole loves technically complicated storytelling and cinematography so he has things to say as well. .

You know who has even more to say about his movie? Ryan Coogler!

Below are links to full length interviews with the writer, himself, that the episode uses a few quotes from:

Hanna Flint - Ryan Coogler talks Sinners, Vampires, and Capitalism

On Film - with Kevin McCarthy - Autumn Durald Arkapaw talks Sinners, Cinematography, IMAX, and more.

Storytellers talking about stories!
Join us, three very different types of storytellers with three very different types of personalities, as we bring each other stories of all kinds to break apart and celebrate. In every episode, we're having the best time exploring what makes a story work, why it moves us, and why we can't stop talking about it. It's not analysis. It's not review. And it's something more than just a conversation about one of the things that makes life worth living... stories.
