This week, Amon sits down with Ryan Coogler (04:56) as they get their teeth into his new vampire flick, SINNERS. We’ll also review the film (22:06), alongside THE PENGUIN LESSONS (38:47), in which Steve Coogan befriends a flightless bird while living under the US-backed military dictatorship in Argentina. 

Plus, in our HOT TAKE (47:51), with WARFARE out this week and ANDOR season two out next week, we’re asking: can stories set against the backdrop of war ever be neutral?
