About this listen

Ryan Coogler made a 1930s Mississippi vampire blues epic about race, land, faith, and the hunger to own another person’s story.

Sinners isn’t just a horror film; it’s a meditation on who gets to live, who gets remembered, and who gets consumed along the way.


In this episode of The Sacred Frames, Jeff Cook, Sean Palmer, and Movie Mike Yeager finally sit down with one of 2025’s most talked-about films. We trace the story from Clarksdale cotton fields to blood-soaked juke joints, from hoodoo altars to bleached churches.


We dig into how Sinners holds together a lot at once—race and cultural theft, Black joy and pain, war trauma, code-switching, sex, faith, and the American obsession with consuming what it refuses to honor.
