Sinners Oscars Profile - When Coogler Went God Mode - Ep 478

Ein bisschen durch Zufall passt es doch recht gut, dass - eine Folge vor dem Muttertag - Lucas und Tobit relativ häufig Filme besprechen, die sich mit Mutterschaft beschäftigen. Neben dem österreichischen PERLA und NIGHTBITCH auf Disney+ haben wir aber auch große Neuheiten im Gepäck: ADOLESCENCE auf Netflix ist eine echte Empfehlung, die zweite Staffel des Zombie-Dramas THE LAST OF US geht gewohnt stark weiter und der wilde Genre-Mix (BLOOD &) SINNERS hat Lucas und Tobit weggeblasen!

Kevin Ford is a Fantastic Four superfan who had never seen any of the theatrically released F4 Movies… until now! Each week Matt Waters guides him through uncharted territory as they rate the movies and try to build an all-star cast.


With 'First Steps' releasing this week we figured it only made sense to dive into one of the most infamous superhero films ever released. SEO, baby! From the director's on-set behaviour to rushed reshoots to ill-advised sources of inspiration there's surely nothing positive to say about this film.... right?!?
