    Sinners (REVIEW): Assimilation Vs. Freedom | Ep283
    Jun 6 2025
    This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to discuss Ryan Coogler's latest film, Sinners, starring Michael B Jordan, Miles Caton, Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, and Jack O'Connell. The film follows twin brothers who return to their hometown to start a juke joint but run up against an unlikely problem. The film is deeply layered but one aspect we discuss thoroughly throughout is the idea of assimilation into what is perceived as a dominant or better culture/way of life from ones already a part of it versus the ability to be truly free and make your own impact with the need to give up any parts of yourself in the process.
