Heavy spoilers ahead!

Welcome back to the Rough Cut! Along with literally everybody else in the world, we share our initial reactions of the most talked about movie of the year, Sinners (2025). Directed by Ryan Coogler, Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan as twins Smoke and Stack, who return to the Mississippi Delta to open a juke joint and are attacked by vampires in process.

In this extended episode: we hate on Variety and analyze music and the thinning veil, racial dynamics in the Jim Crow South and address the discourse on sex and trauma in Black movies.

Our recommendations: Interview with the Vampire (2022-), Blade (1998)
