## Resource

Episode 95: Sinners This week on Philosophy in Film , the gang steps into the blood-soaked confessional of Ryan Coogler's 2025 thriller, Sinners . Nestled in the indie-crime-vampire-redemption-gangster genre, the film follows Eli Morgan, a disgraced pastor-turned-defense attorney, as he's pulled into the moral murk of faith, failure, and a client who might not be entirely human. Craig hacks away at Producer's Notes (9:37) with only slight collateral damage, while Alain cracks open the Book of Beauclair (21:04) to lay out Eli's twilight descent. Chris then lights a candle for Philosopher's Corner (47:20), tuning into the film's musical language, where brooding jazz and sacred overtones echo themes of guilt, redemption, and longing. At the Round Table (53:10), the gang debates whether Sinners bites into something meaningful or just bares its fangs, before Reviews (1:43:22) and Mailbag (1:55:35) offer closing testimony from the congregation. As always, we reflect on the philosophical and non-philosophical burdens carried through the film's long dark night, because even the damned listen close. 🍻 Featured Beer 🍻 - Irish Red Ale by Sea Change Brewing (Edmonton, AB)
