Sinners (2025): the History Behind the Hit Movie

🎙️ Map of historic travels

Scott and Jenn dive into the eerie yet fascinating world of the movie *Sinners*, where the haunting tale of Mississippi blues legend Robert Johnson takes center stage.

This flick isn't just your typical horror show; it spins a yarn about twin brothers, their juke joint dreams, and a devilish vampire lurking in the shadows of the Jim Crow South. We get all the juicy deets on how the film cleverly weaves true historical elements into its supernatural plot, echoing the struggles and resilience of the African American community during the 1930s.

Plus, we chat about the eerie legend of Robert Johnson himself—did he really sell his soul at the crossroads? Spoiler alert: it’s all about the music and the history behind it, so grab your popcorn and let’s jam!
