We have an epic episode for you this week about an epic film from last year (#2025stillalive). Ryan Coogler has been a striking creative visionary in cinema for years now. With SINNERS, he unleashed a tour de force of creative storytelling, groundbreaking behind-the-scenes negotiations, and a powerhouse commentary on culture, art, and history. Sinners has now been nominated for a record-breaking 16 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and continues to find and captivate new audiences daily.

We invited a panel of friends and FoGgers to discuss this film with us, including returning friends of the show Chris Clark and Natashia Deon (attorney, professor, and author of The Perishing) and new-to-the-FoG guest Shaherah White (entrepreneur and host of the Love Manifested podcast). Together we dive deep into the themes and the cultural touchstones of Coogler's impressive film, including what it has to say about freedom, power, temptation, and art. It's one of our heartiest and most compelling discussions of this entire series.

Also featuring returning guest Charlie Baber to discuss STRANGER THINGS, Season 5, Episode 7 on a Patron-only segment, this is a hearty and full conversation that we really hope you enjoy.
