Talkin' Lost Episode 31 - What Kate Did + Sinners
Original movies are back! Sort of. This past weekend we truly experienced a phenomenon. Ryan Coogler's fifth feature film, his first film to not be based on existing IP or real events, Sinners, opened to rave reviews and decent box office numbers. This is a massive feeling film shot in Imax about a subject very personal to Coogler, as we track Michael B. Jordan portraying twins Smoke & Stack as they assemble a posse to open a juke joint in antebellum south at the turn of the century, only to find themselves under attack by none other than vampires. Boasting a supporting cast consisting of Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Omar Benson Miller, Jack O'Connell, Delroy Lindo & newcomer Miles Caton, this movie is NOT one to be missed in theaters (16:57). We also talk about the next episode of Lost, in which Kate has a premonition about her father whom she murdered, while Locke & Eko grow closer over their shared intrigue of the hatch.
