On this week's Screen Talk, co-hosts Anne Thompson and Ryan Lattanzio dig into Ryan Coogler's $90-million period vampire musical "Sinners," starring Michael B. Jordan as twins Smoke and Stack, as well as the boffo box office and the controversial deal.

I spoke with Coogler about how Sinners ’ genre mash-up came to be, why it was the right time for him to tell an original story, and the reason the Mississippi setting resonated for him, despite his having never been there before working on the film.
