I’ll put it this way — “Sinners” has everything you could want as the centerpiece of a “Vampires of America” podcast series. Tommy guns, blues guitars, two Michael B. Jordans, vampires as jig-dancing cult leaders, and visually entrancing commentary on folk art and oppression. Bennett Campbell Ferguson (Fools Who Dream) is back for a deep dive into Ryan Coogler’s strikingly original horror musical.

If you missed our “Blacula” or “Ganja & Hess” episodes, those Black vampire films carry particular weight in parallel with “Sinners.”

Follow Ben’s work here. And you could find him in several previous The Kick episodes.
