Sinners (2025) IS IT OVERRATED?- Deep Dive Movie Review (Part 3) with Jay & Sebrenia

Sinners (2025) - Movie Review with Jay & Sebrenia


Sinners Breakdown! We dive deep into all aspects of the production: from the visual effects, the themes, costuming, production design, and music.


In this episode of Critic by Night, Jay and Sebrenia review Sinners (2025) — the powerful new horror drama directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan.


After working together on Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther, Coogler and Jordan reunite for a darker, more intimate story about guilt, justice, and the cost of redemption. We unpack the performances, the visual style, the haunting score, and how this film fits into Coogler’s already iconic filmography.


🎬 Is Sinners a modern masterpiece or just Oscar bait? We’ve got thoughts.


If you're a fan of smart, emotional storytelling, or just want to hear our hot takes on the year’s most talked-about release, this one’s for you.

Angie Stone: Soul Survivor | From Hip-Hop Roots to Neo-Soul Royalty

Jay and Captain Keith reflect on the life and music of singer, rapper, actress, writer, producer Angie Stone. #angiestone #ripangiestone


In this episode, we reflect on the dynamic legacy of Angie Stone — a vocalist, songwriter, and trailblazer whose career helped shape the sound of neo-soul and contemporary R&B. From her early days as part of the first female hip-hop group The Sequence, to her reign as one of neo-soul’s most powerful voices, Angie Stone’s story is one of resilience, evolution, and pure artistry.


We explore her collaborations with icons like D’Angelo and Lenny Kravitz, her powerful solo albums like Black Diamond and Mahogany Soul, and how her sound continues to influence generations of artists. More than a singer — she’s a storyteller, a survivor, and a soul pioneer whose voice carries both love and lived experience.
