In this episode of Cinemental, we dive deep into Sinners starring Michael B. Jordan—a haunting, genre-blending film that weaves together transcendental music, hoodoo traditions, vampirism, and the psychic bond of twins. We explore how these elements reflect themes of trauma, identity fragmentation, and spiritual awakening, especially within marginalized communities.

Join us as we unpack the film’s portrayal of mental health, the tension between ancestral wisdom and modern psychology, and the use of supernatural metaphor to depict addiction, grief, and emotional duality. Whether you're a horror fan or drawn to stories of psychological depth, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
