Rhys, James and Joe take a look at Ryan Coogler's 2025 movie, SINNERS. As soon as we can agree who's hosing the episode. This is an all-Sinners episode because it was recorded soon after our Ghost Dog chat AND there's a lot in this movie to think about. That said, to be completely honest if you don't like talk about spitting I would probably skip this one. You can hear this and many other episodes ad-free on our Patreon! Hosted on Acast.

It's a rare dip into the back catalogue as - following James Gunn's appointment at DC - we take a look at BRIGHTBURN, the 2019 superhero horror movie he produced.
