Six Degrees of Star Wars
Even before it became the property of a monstrously big corporation that started putting it everywhere, Star Wars was everywhere. Join us on a journey as we take the hyperspace lanes out of a galaxy far, far away and into other movies, finding all the ways George Lucas' flagship franchise surrounds us, binds us, and penetrates us.
Six Degrees of Star Wars
Ep. 67: Absolute SINNERS-ma
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's a southern Gothic-vampire-horror-musical. It's a box office smash that grew from word of mouth. It's the most Oscar-nominated film of all time. It's Ryan Coogler's masterpiece. It's SINNERS. What else needs to be said?
Producer's note: this episode aired before the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026, so we had to record with no idea of whether or not anyone from this movie actually won (BUT THEY ALL DESERVE TO).
