Director Ryan Coogler already has "Fruitvale Station," "Creed," and two "Black Panther" films to his credit, and so his latest film, "Sinners," was greatly anticipated. As, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano note in this podcast episode, it has been a critical success and major box office hit. Set in Mississippi in 1932, Coogler's fusion of a blues-based drama and a vampire story makes for a very interesting film. Marie, Mike, and millions of others are still talking about it weeks after it's heralded release. They are also joined by producer-host of Campus Drive, Dragon Media Podcasts manager Matt Jackson for the discussion and theater experience recap.
Folk music is at the heart of the second film that Marie and Mike discuss in this episode, "The Ballad of Wallis Island," in which a wealthy eccentric living on an isolated Welsh island invites a well-known musician to give a private performance. It's a quirky character study that's worth watching.
