This week on Streamin' Demons, Jo and Emile take on Sinners — Ryan Coogler's vampire-blues-period-piece starring Michael B. Jordan as both twins. The performances are genuinely great, the characters feel real, and Jordan pulling off two distinct people in the same frame is a real feat. The setting, costuming, and makeup are all top-tier. The problem is everything around them: the film welds a musician arc to a creature-feature and commits to neither, running 2h17 that feels like a Hobbit movie with two-and-a-half endings. A decent B-movie carried by a great cast — and an Oscar that's at least 40% gimmick.
