This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discuss the incredible success of Sinners at the box office and with critics / audiences, giving us a defining cultural moment for 2025! We also continue our Best Picture Movie Series with the 1968 musical Oliver!
– Sinners Success (12:23)
After some opening banter, we begin the show this week by discuss the remarkable success of Ryan Coogler’s new film Sinners, a movie that dominated the cultural discourse over the weekend. The film opened to great numbers at the box office. For the longest time it sat at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s the first horror film in a really long time (maybe ever?) to get an “A” CinemaScore. Simply, Sinners will be a defining film of 2025 when it’s all said and done.
– Best Picture Movie Series: Oliver! (1:18:51)
We continue this series with a film that might not have the historical legacy as others in the ’60s, but it’s not a complete bust either. Oliver! might be a weird step backwards in that it doesn’t fit the American New Wave that had already begun, however it is more in alignment with the rest of the ’60s than it isn’t. It’s also a fun little musical that is really well crafted. You can see the appeal and why it was popular at the time. Even if it’s a far cry from the best of the Best Picture winners in totality.
