Still reveling in the Sinners Oscar buzz, we were so excited to speak with someone very familiar with Black horror, the one and only Ezra Claytan Daniels. Author of several amazing graphic novels like Upgrade Soul and his latest, Mama Came Callin', as well as writing for shows like Doom Patrol and Severance, he joined us to talk about a Black horror cult hit, The People Under the Stairs.

Directed by Wes Craven and staring Brandon Q. Adams, it's a movie filled with some very creepy imagery but also a lot of socio-political satire to chew on. We break down what works and what maybe hasn't aged so well, and also discuss the power of horror in Black stories.

Mama Came Callin', a southern gothic horror about family, racial identity, and alligators is a fantastic read. Gorgeous illustrations by Camilla Sucre and of course Ezra's mesmerizing story. Get your copy wherever books are sold!

As for us, find us on socials at @Whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod and check out our Youtube page for some fun extras we're trying out! We'll be back next week with Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans in The Last Boy Scout.

Finally, we're current with our Oscar talk! We give our thoughts on not just the Sinners V OBAO but the night as a whole and wider conversation about the Academy. What were your thoughts on the night? Let us know at @whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod on IG and TikTok. Also, check us out on Youtube where we have additional content coming out!

If you made it through part one, part two is even crazier. We get into all of the crazy choices this movie made, some VERY interesting quotes from the writer and director, some weird behind the scenes footage, and more! The only thing that got us through is the knowledge that Sinners has 16 Oscar nominations.
