In this episode of Meaning Of The Movie, we dive into one of the most debated films of the last decade — The Last Jedi. It divided the Star Wars fanbase... and it divides us too. Some of us love it. Some of us aren't. But either way, there's a lot to talk about: bold choices, broken expectations, and big themes about failure, legacy, and hope. Whether you're Team Rian or not, this conversation goes deep into what makes The Last Jedi so fascinating.

In this episode of Meaning of the Movie, Rob Stennett and Andrew Harmon dig into Sinners, this spring’s breakout film that blends Southern grit, gospel, and gore.

We also get into why “survive the night” movies are so satisfying, how Sinners fits (and breaks) vampire movie tropes, and the magic of a great actor/director combo. It’s a wild ride of blood, blues, and big questions—and we’re here for all of it.
