FilmGeeks EP20 – Sinners, Symbolism & Storytelling: Kory Todd Breaks It All Down
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this Final Friendsgiving Friday guest spotlight, we welcome Kory Todd—veteran, film lover, and student of cinema—to take us deep into the layers of Sinners, one of the most compelling films of 2025.
Kory unpacks the historical symbolism behind the vampire metaphor, shares research from his ethnic studies class, and shows how Ryan Coogler fused horror, spirituality, and Black American history into a film that gets better with every rewatch.
We cover everything from convict leasing to biblical allusions, improv scenes that became iconic, and how Sinners might just be this generation’s Get Out. Whether you’re here for the Coogler praise, Chris Nolan comparisons, or Michael B. Jordan’s dual performance—this episode brings the heat.
