Absolutely! Is there a book or resource you're eager to start with or want to know more about?

Thanks for this! I saw it last weekend and have loved the reviews and interactions surrounding it on social media. He really did perform an exquisite job of reflecting the era and honoring allll the culture(s) represented.

But did I miss the SECOND scene within the credits? Also, I'll be back with my question, if it's not answered in your syllabus. Appreciate your efforts

Yes. There's a mid-credits scene and an end credits scene. I won't spoil it for you, but the end credits scene is not a teaser for a sequel or anything like that.

Wow! What a great syllabus! Looking forward to digging in to more of the resources there, particularly the GIs coming home, and the music aspects.

Saw Sinners last Saturday with my husband and son. We all thought it was great.

Those are great topics! Glad y'all saw it as a family. Definitely better as a shared theater experience.

Thanks so much for this! I’m looking forward to starting it, probably with the spirituality and music sections. I loved Sinners and have seen it three times. I’m afraid of horror movies, but being a big fan of Jack O’Connell I decided to give it a try. Everything about it was brilliant , and I hope my son will watch it. It is so timely right now too. Great picture of you and Michael!

Appreciate all your work!
