Sinful Salad - Sinners (2025)
Episode 118
Thursday, 26 February, 2026
To start, there is...SO much we didn't talk about. And there's a lot we DID talk about. But there was a lot of it we had to cut for time! In short, we could go on and on about this movie but we'd be here all day—which we're sure a lot of you would love! But as we close out Black History Month, we hope our love and enthusiasm is tangible for the focus of this Special episode of ScaryCrit, devoted to one of 2025's greatest hits, a new crown jewel in Black horror and honestly a piece of Black History itself: Ryan Coogler's Sinners (2025). This special pulls triple-duty as a critique, analysis, and overall appreciation piece for what the phenomenal cast and crew of Sinners (2025) brought into the world, a truly creative disruption in the Hollywood zeitgeist and one that is unabashedly FUBU. Thank you, Ryan! And to our Critters, we hope y'all enjoy listening as much as we did recording.
