Chapter 1: Who is Ryan Coogler and what is this interview about?

2.17 - 24.604 Henry Zebrowski

Last podcast on the left, listeners. You might be wondering, how in the living hell did they score this person to talk to them? And the answer is his leverage, folks. It's called having personal information about important people inside of the Hollywood industry machine. that forced this to happen. Isn't that right, Eddie?

0

24.724 - 29.325 Eddie

That's correct. We have information and we're going to release it unless this is a good interview.

0

29.345 - 56.211 Henry Zebrowski

This is really honestly kind of a come to Jesus moment for this man and for the industry as a whole because we don't know how all of this is going to kind of roll out. So welcome to Last Podcast on the left. I'm Henry Zebrowski. I'm sitting here with Ed Larson. Hello. And we have an illustrious filmmaker. By far the coolest interview we've ever had. Hey, well, I will say we had Dan Aykroyd once.

58.634 - 67.585 Henry Zebrowski

But we have Ryan Kyle Kugler. Do you have a vodka that you need to push? Wait, wait, wait. We should have covered that before. Are you selling vodka?

68.28 - 71.384 Ryan Coogler

No, I wish I did, bro.

72.205 - 74.208 Henry Zebrowski

Can I say that you're leaving money on the table?

77.092 - 84.081 Ryan Coogler

Yes. I mean, I got nothing to push, bro. That's unfortunate. I got nothing but a movie.

84.301 - 98.656 Henry Zebrowski

Because this is podcasting and unfortunately you need a movie's whatever. I need you to have an exercise machine that you're selling. That also helps me from being infected by the government's choices.

Chapter 2: What inspired Ryan Coogler to make the horror movie Sinners?

1676.537 - 1700.805 Ryan Coogler

uh i can't wait to see her she already in tron i just seen a trailer for that oh yeah that's right she's in tron when i spoke to her she was she was she was finishing that up um but but but yeah but we're gonna try to make something really great bro um and and and really and really be um you know something for the real x-files fans and today you know what i'm saying and maybe find some new ones tell you what we're cruel and we're cutthroat so just so you know

1701.525 - 1707.667 Henry Zebrowski

Just remember that the rest of us, we're actually unsatisfied. We're angry and we don't have jobs.

0

1708.007 - 1715.609 Ryan Coogler

So we're going to attack you. I'm going to know how y'all feel.

0

1715.689 - 1742.097 Eddie

Obviously, we're excited about the horror movie and totally X-Files. We love our aliens over here. But I got to say, all of your movies, including Creed, are very like... Music is such a key part of it. It's obviously very important to you. And I love everything you did with music in Sinners. It was really, especially the one scene. That scene. One of the coolest scenes I've ever seen.

0

1742.117 - 1743.239 Henry Zebrowski

The audience applauded.

1743.559 - 1772.819 Eddie

yes it was yeah it was a straight up like coolest music video i've ever seen it was very it was very interesting and then but you do something that i miss from movies and for especially with black panther and and wakanda forever is the specialized companion album yeah And that was something that we saw a lot in the 90s, you know, and stuff like that.

1772.919 - 1779.683 Eddie

And I was recently complaining that it doesn't happen more often. And Sinners needs an album.

1780.123 - 1796.753 Ryan Coogler

It's coming, bro. Yeah, it's really good. Hell yeah. Really, really, really good. You know, I think this... I'm biased, obviously, but I think the score is some of Ludwig's best work. And this soundtrack is some of his best work as well in that space. Like, it's incredible.

1796.813 - 1816.546 Henry Zebrowski

I was saying that as we were watching it. I was like, this feels like... Because you know what you're doing too, dude, that is amazing? Is that it's what you and Robert Eggers are doing. And I mean this, and it's not just because I'm a little... a Hollywood little man, but you guys are doing great stuff for movies because you're making them big and you're making them events.
