In this week’s Thumb War, Rachel and Jason finally review Ryan Coogler’s Sinners (2025) — a vampire musical set in the Jim Crow South starring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role. We dig into the film’s striking but divisive lighting, its musical centerpiece, Delroy Lindo’s haunting blues performance, and Coogler’s exploration of culture, power, and legacy.

Spoilers abound as we unpack why Sinners is one of the boldest films of the year.
