In this podcast, brother jeff delivers a passionate critique of Ryan Coogler's 2025 film Sinners, expressing his strong disapproval of what he sees as an overly simplistic and melodramatic use of themes and characters. While he acknowledges that the cinematography and artistic elements are beautifully executed, he felt that the story lacked depth and the characters failed to hold his attention. To him, the film leaned too heavily on visual style without offering meaningful substance or compelling narrative arcs.

Despite its technical strengths, Sinners ultimately fell flat in brother jeff's eyes. After sitting through two hours of what he describes as shallow symbolism and predictable dialogue, he walked out of the theater—unmoved and unconvinced. He calls for filmmakers to aim higher when portraying complex cultural and spiritual issues, warning against reducing them to hollow spectacle.
