What “Sinners” Gets Right (And Wrong) About the Black South d1p3t

This isn’t a film podcast. But with the feature film Sinners now available at home, we couldn’t help but unpack its bold take on Southern horror, the moral weight of unspoken histories, and what it means—for the culture—to set a story like this in Mississippi. In this special episode of Black History Year, Grammy-winning blues musician and actor Chris Thomas King returns, ing scholar, writer, and BHY producer Dr. Leslie Grover to discuss what the film gets right, what it gets wrong, and the blues haunting every frame. Grab your popcorn—because by the end of the episode, you’ll be asking yourself: Is “Sinners” just a horror flick—or a mirror that makes Black history impossible to ignore?
