Sinners
From cotton fields to coffin lids
Sinners isn’t just a vampire movie—it’s a Southern Gothic opera about bloodlines, betrayal, and the price of your soul. On this episode, Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie dive into Ryan Coogler’s (Black Panther) first original feature, where Michael B. Jordan (Creed) plays war-torn twins battling both the past and the undead in 1930s Mississippi. Hailee Steinfeld (Hawkeye) plays Mary, Stack’s former flame-turned-vampire femme fatale, while Jayme Lawson's (The Batman) haunting voice lingers long after the music fades. From historical horror to emotional gut-punches, we explore whether Sinners earns its place among Coogler’s best—and whether immortality is a curse or a second chance.

Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness
50 Shades of Grayson Azriel
The third Dungeons & Dragons movie is steeped in sin as it partners a quartet of bloodthirsty bandits with a celibate knight on a quest to rescue his father from a kinky underworld. Is returning director Gerry Lively faithful to the letter of the 3rd edition game supplement The Book of Vile Darkness, which first let players fall under the spell of a black magic text printed in blood, skin, and bone? And why did SyFy Channel pass on this 2012 campaign, limiting its official release to the UK? Justin, Stuart, and Arnie are ready to suck fingers to find out how bad it gets.

A Minecraft Movie
Cocky Blockers
Jack Black attempts to build a cinematic universe out of chickens cooked in lava, rampaging pigs and zombies, and other doodads mined from the biggest video game of all time.
