815: I Guess I Gotta Kill All These Klan Guys

About this episode

The episode discusses the vampire movie 'Sinners' and its themes of horror and racism in the 1930s deep south.

Not now, Klansmen, I’m killing vampires! “Sinners” got nominated for all the awards, and it’s also a vampire (with a hint of zombie?) movie. We love it when genre movies get attention, and Ryan Coogler keeps putting out bangers, so we’re all in on the story of magical music opening the door to eldrich horror—oh, and also it’s the deep south in the 1930s so there’s some horrendous racism too!...
