“I don’t believe in modern love,” David Bowie belted back in 1983—and it still feels oddly relevant today. This week on the Two Please Podcast, we stress-test that line by exploring modern romance through three films that, together, feel like its best on-screen representatives: Her (Love In The Time of AI), The Materialists (Love In The Time of Capitalism), and Gone Girl (Love In The Time of Self-Loathing).

We've jokingly called it our “Before Trilogy of Modern Love,”- one story told across three very different movies. Expect takes on AI intimacy vs human messiness, pragmatism vs passion, why some marriages implode, timely headlines, and a few red flags.

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners (2025) isn’t just another horror movie — in fact, it might not even be horror at all. On this episode of The Two Please Podcast, we explore Sinners' haunting reflection of America’s real history and culture while shining a light on its scarier real-life inspirations. 

This Sinners (2025) review and breakdown, discusses:

Cultural theft — how Elvis and others “fed” off Black music without giving back.

Vampires as metaphor — not just monsters, but symbols of exploitation and power.

Racism and survival — the forces that drive the film’s narrative.

& Why Sinners isn’t really horror — and why that makes it even scarier.

If you’ve seen Sinners, you’ll never look at vampires or Elvis Presley the same way again.
