Episode notes

It’s been a long time…and a sizeable chunk of this podcast! We’re preparing a hell of a party this week, as we hit 400, Ify cruises into the sunset as host, and we finally cover the original supernatural drama that film nerd dreams are made of, Ryan Coogler’s SINNERS. We’ve got past guest and IRL Ify bud Cody Ziglar riding shotgun this week to boot! And we dream up what some serious films might be like if we threw some vampires into the mix.

What’s Good
Alonso – Pineapple Upside-Down Cake (especially Nancy Silverton’s)
Drea – “How long does it actually take” TikToks
Zig – Tom Cruise coconut cake from Doan’s Bakery (+Ify mentions King’s rainbow cake)
Ify – Neotropolis
