In this deep-dive review of Sinners, I break down why this film is an instant classic and one of the most important pieces of Black cinema in recent years. Directed by Ryan Coogler—who I consider a generational director—Sinners blends horror, historical commentary, music, and identity into a powerful story set in 1932 Mississippi.
We explore the film's major themes, including:
The duality of Black joy and struggle
Vampirism as a metaphor for cultural appropriation
Music as resistance and spiritual connection
Capitalism’s impact on marginalized labor
Racial ambiguity and identity through casting
Griot traditions, memory, and storytelling
I also talk about the incredible performances from Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Canton, Delroy Lindo, and Wunmi Mosaku, and how the film uses genre to confront real-world history without romanticizing the past.
If you’ve seen Sinners or plan to, let’s talk about it. This is the kind of movie that stays with you.
In this episode of the Avatar Slang Podcast, the crew dives into Fortnite, Final Fantasy VII, and what they’ve been watching lately—from The Chosen to Daredevil. They chop it up about rewatchable classics, superhero shows, British actors in Hollywood, and the racial dynamics behind casting. The convo also hits on anime across generations, streaming wars, leaked movie hype, and a fun debate about Pikachu vs. Mickey Mouse. With laughs, nostalgia, and real talk, it’s a little bit of everything.

We dive into the importance of Black history, how media and storytelling shape narratives, and the intersection of nerd culture and activism.
Ernest shares his journey from teaching to becoming a public historian, how a life-changing Black history course reshaped his perspective, and why representation in media—especially in comics, sci-fi, and animation—is more powerful than we realize. We discuss everything from Marvel’s socially conscious storytelling to how historical narratives can be made more engaging through pop culture.
Plus, we talk about his upcoming book, "How Black History Can Save Your Life," which drops March 25th. Tune in for a deep, thought-provoking conversation that connects nerd culture, education, and social change in ways you may not have considered before!
