WEBVTT

00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:04.937
Peace, peace, everyone. It's your girl, Sequoia Blue. Hope everybody doing all right.

00:00:05.677 --> 00:00:11.257
I had to come in here on this marvelous Sunday night to talk about sinners.

00:00:11.757 --> 00:00:16.797
Now, folks that have been following me since the beginning of me starting this

00:00:16.797 --> 00:00:20.757
podcast, I started off talking about movies and TV shows that I like and stuff.

00:00:20.757 --> 00:00:23.497
That that's always been my thing because that's my

00:00:23.497 --> 00:00:26.297
hobby and and to me you know it's

00:00:26.297 --> 00:00:29.157
talking about life and it's showing you different things depending

00:00:29.157 --> 00:00:32.277
on the director or the cinematography or you know

00:00:32.277 --> 00:00:36.337
the film itself so always like

00:00:36.337 --> 00:00:40.317
to talk about what I've experienced and what I've learned from movies and tv

00:00:40.317 --> 00:00:45.917
shows and how it correlates to my life or just life in general so I just had

00:00:45.917 --> 00:00:48.937
to come here and talk about centers and of course I give my quick little mini

00:00:48.937 --> 00:00:52.677
review like some people on YouTube are giving long hour reviews and stuff.

00:00:53.037 --> 00:00:56.157
I'm just more straight to the point with it. I just give my little quick mini review.

00:00:56.557 --> 00:01:00.877
Mind you, there may be some spoiler alerts. So just don't give some of me.

00:01:00.957 --> 00:01:04.157
I'm telling you now might be some spoiler alerts, but I ain't going all deep,

00:01:04.637 --> 00:01:06.437
like the people are on YouTube.

00:01:06.757 --> 00:01:10.137
They're giving you some details and stuff. And it's great. I think you should

00:01:10.137 --> 00:01:12.697
check it out too, because if there's some parts you didn't understand.

00:01:13.737 --> 00:01:15.657
YouTube commentators can break it down for you.

00:01:15.817 --> 00:01:19.837
So I definitely say support them and check that out too but but yeah let me

00:01:19.837 --> 00:01:25.917
just tell you so I had a good time seeing the movie I thought that the cinematography

00:01:25.917 --> 00:01:30.077
was great I've been watching interviews up until I went to see the movie and,

00:01:30.937 --> 00:01:36.637
unfortunately I couldn't see so unfortunately I couldn't see the movie in IMAX

00:01:36.637 --> 00:01:41.997
because I guess they only played the movie in IMAX for a few weeks or so and

00:01:41.997 --> 00:01:45.077
I just got there late because I was supposed to see it like two weeks ago, but hey,

00:01:45.737 --> 00:01:49.997
at least I got to the movies to see it because I haven't been to the movies in, I don't know, years.

00:01:50.257 --> 00:01:53.597
So it was an interesting moment. And it was a few people in there.

00:01:53.697 --> 00:01:56.137
I thought it was going to be more empty than what it was, but there was some

00:01:56.137 --> 00:01:57.317
people in there. So that was cool.

00:01:57.457 --> 00:02:01.157
So I got my popcorn and everything like that. My moms came with me.

00:02:01.557 --> 00:02:04.477
I had me some Sauvignon Blanc in a can.

00:02:04.477 --> 00:02:09.437
They gave me a little wine, a little wine cup to put my wine in so I was chilling

00:02:09.437 --> 00:02:14.417
and it was just it was chill I mean seats weren't as comfy at this particular

00:02:14.417 --> 00:02:19.597
theater but hey it worked out but anyway without further ado let me get into the topic at hand but.

00:02:20.609 --> 00:02:25.569
What I must say is that Ryan Cooper did an amazing job. I think that the cinematography,

00:02:25.989 --> 00:02:34.549
the vibe, the whole Jim Crow thing and the whole storyline that's revolving around music.

00:02:34.669 --> 00:02:37.589
Now, mind you, this is my opinion, my opinion only. Everybody going to see the

00:02:37.589 --> 00:02:41.709
movie different as far as their own opinion on how they view the movie.

00:02:42.249 --> 00:02:45.229
I'm just telling you my opinion of the movie, how I view it.

00:02:45.309 --> 00:02:48.369
And heck, if I watch it a second time, I might have more information.

00:02:48.369 --> 00:02:51.409
But this is what I've seen the first time for now.

00:02:51.609 --> 00:02:56.409
So I feel like the music is just like a spiritual symbol.

00:02:56.569 --> 00:03:00.829
You can, you know, if I'm an artist, you know, people that didn't listen to

00:03:00.829 --> 00:03:02.429
me know that I've been singing forever.

00:03:02.669 --> 00:03:06.549
I mean, doing music since I was like 13 years old.

00:03:06.749 --> 00:03:10.469
I was singing younger than that, probably at six years old before I even knew

00:03:10.469 --> 00:03:12.429
that you can even make money in music or anything like that.

00:03:12.589 --> 00:03:16.069
It was like, I was just called to do it. Like, oh, you just got to do this, you know?

00:03:16.249 --> 00:03:20.049
And so I would just sing to the bullies or whoever would listen to me to calm

00:03:20.049 --> 00:03:22.269
them down or to make myself feel better.

00:03:22.409 --> 00:03:28.609
And I always felt like music was, was, I would, I would say like a spiritual

00:03:28.609 --> 00:03:32.729
thing for some artists, like some people become music artists and be like,

00:03:32.849 --> 00:03:34.829
Oh, I'm just trying to make money or whatever.

00:03:34.989 --> 00:03:37.269
And don't really feel none in their soul. They're like, whatever.

00:03:37.669 --> 00:03:40.749
And then you have artists that's just, heck, I'll do this for free.

00:03:40.889 --> 00:03:42.909
I mean, I just like to sing. Is there something coming?

00:03:43.089 --> 00:03:49.329
And I think And when I watched Sinners, it was like watching Sammy's story played

00:03:49.329 --> 00:03:52.449
by a young man named Miles, which I really, I never heard of him.

00:03:52.549 --> 00:03:55.989
But there's so many great artists out here and singers that I can't keep up

00:03:55.989 --> 00:03:56.989
with everybody all the time.

00:03:57.069 --> 00:04:00.429
But he has a really great soulful voice like he's been here before.

00:04:00.429 --> 00:04:05.229
So, but, and the first scene when the father's like, hey, you know,

00:04:05.329 --> 00:04:08.909
you shouldn't, you know, stop playing the devil's music, stop doing this and whatnot.

00:04:09.129 --> 00:04:14.369
I don't think music is evil, you know, per se, but I do think that it can summon

00:04:14.369 --> 00:04:18.969
certain spirits if you're not tapped in and you're not able to protect yourself and stuff.

00:04:18.969 --> 00:04:23.909
And I think that that's what I had got from, you know, Sammy's story and stuff

00:04:23.909 --> 00:04:31.549
and the whole, the whole theme of just music and how it just draws so much in.

00:04:31.689 --> 00:04:38.029
And it just, it was like, to me, the, the point of the, the film was the music part.

00:04:38.089 --> 00:04:42.349
It was like the whole premise of it was this music, how it's,

00:04:42.349 --> 00:04:47.449
it's summoning different spirits and stuff. And when the, the vampires, the Irish vampires.

00:04:48.597 --> 00:04:51.897
Were playing their music they were you know

00:04:51.897 --> 00:04:54.717
tapping into their spiritual powers some you know

00:04:54.717 --> 00:04:58.037
their music and and somehow I mean

00:04:58.037 --> 00:05:00.977
in my opinion you know and I may watch you watch it again and

00:05:00.977 --> 00:05:06.197
get a different idea but I feel like Sammy was kind of pulling them in like

00:05:06.197 --> 00:05:12.677
you know summoning them in a way because they were you know getting weaker is

00:05:12.677 --> 00:05:18.277
is Sammy was was fighting back and it was just something that was going on there.

00:05:18.577 --> 00:05:24.817
And I found that to be interesting because he was like the fallen angel,

00:05:24.957 --> 00:05:28.417
I guess, the summoning of these spirits.

00:05:28.697 --> 00:05:32.697
And it's just, there's different opinions on how that could go about.

00:05:32.857 --> 00:05:36.337
But I do feel like that, I felt that energy happening.

00:05:36.657 --> 00:05:41.137
Like it was almost like he was some type of God or something like that.

00:05:41.277 --> 00:05:45.977
I can't explain it, but, and maybe he wasn't, But I just felt like the whole,

00:05:46.197 --> 00:05:49.497
the music was definitely summoning different things.

00:05:49.657 --> 00:05:52.797
And Sammy was kind of leading it in an unbeknownst way.

00:05:53.197 --> 00:05:58.817
But, you know, at the end of the day, he was able to fight back and get through it.

00:05:59.197 --> 00:06:05.957
But what I did like was talking about like hoodoo and how, because think about

00:06:05.957 --> 00:06:09.977
it is there's so much, you know, people say a lot about hoodoo and stuff like

00:06:09.977 --> 00:06:13.637
that and about hoodoo or whatever and say it's evil or this and that.

00:06:13.637 --> 00:06:17.277
Now to me voodoo and

00:06:17.277 --> 00:06:20.017
hoodoo is not evil it's the person that's that's doing it

00:06:20.017 --> 00:06:23.237
is they are they evil you know i mean i think whatever you're

00:06:23.237 --> 00:06:26.537
doing it for if you're evil then it's gonna be evil you

00:06:26.537 --> 00:06:29.997
know i mean like it's it's same thing with ai artificial intelligence

00:06:29.997 --> 00:06:32.697
oh well you know are you gonna take job over and stuff

00:06:32.697 --> 00:06:35.697
like that well if that person is evil then

00:06:35.697 --> 00:06:38.637
ai gonna be evil then whatever because you're

00:06:38.637 --> 00:06:42.257
the one creating it is being a tech person as well we're

00:06:42.257 --> 00:06:46.197
the ones creating it so to me it's

00:06:46.197 --> 00:06:49.377
it's the person and that's just something that's that involves critical

00:06:49.377 --> 00:06:52.817
thinking as far as saying okay who you

00:06:52.817 --> 00:06:56.857
know what makes a thing evil because you can say a christian could be evil you

00:06:56.857 --> 00:07:01.077
know i mean because our christianity could be evil because the person behind

00:07:01.077 --> 00:07:06.497
it is doing evil things right and one part in the scene when sammy was in the

00:07:06.497 --> 00:07:10.397
water and the Irish vampire was,

00:07:10.597 --> 00:07:13.737
you know, had his hand on his neck and stuff.

00:07:14.277 --> 00:07:18.917
He was reciting the Bible verse and stuff like that. And the vampire started

00:07:18.917 --> 00:07:20.497
reciting the Bible verses too.

00:07:20.717 --> 00:07:25.277
And I think right there, I think that Ryan in a way was trying to say that,

00:07:25.477 --> 00:07:31.257
yes, have faith and pray and do what you have to do, but do know that evil can still come.

00:07:31.397 --> 00:07:36.717
Do know that things can still come in and try to come after you because we're

00:07:36.717 --> 00:07:38.997
all in a spiritual war, believe it or not.

00:07:39.177 --> 00:07:42.457
I mean, we're all in a spiritual war. We're in a spiritual battle. And.

00:07:43.304 --> 00:07:49.404
When we think that, okay, I'm good, I just prayed and it's okay and not be vigilant

00:07:49.404 --> 00:07:53.604
and stay on your toes, you're going to get hit, you know?

00:07:53.764 --> 00:07:57.344
And so I think that that's what I got from that scene. It was like,

00:07:57.444 --> 00:08:00.784
okay, you were citing the Bible and the vampire is like, well,

00:08:00.784 --> 00:08:04.764
I'm going to say it with you, you know? And I think that was that turning point.

00:08:04.904 --> 00:08:10.024
He wanted us to think about how can we be vigilant and not just pray,

00:08:10.124 --> 00:08:13.444
but also do something too, like in whatever way we can.

00:08:13.724 --> 00:08:18.444
And so I think that that was a pretty cool scene there. It was saying a lot there.

00:08:18.784 --> 00:08:22.964
And Michael B. Jordan killed it in Smoke and Stack. I think he did a great job.

00:08:23.144 --> 00:08:26.144
I mean, his swagger, everything is on point.

00:08:26.384 --> 00:08:29.144
I mean, he really put a lot into this role, I can tell.

00:08:29.684 --> 00:08:33.924
And I was very impressed. you can tell the difference between their mannerisms and stuff.

00:08:34.304 --> 00:08:38.344
And I think that's important. I think that takes a lot of work to be able to

00:08:38.344 --> 00:08:43.024
just be someone else, you know, and show that you're this other person and be a twin.

00:08:43.264 --> 00:08:48.064
And I think that's amazing. And plus, I heard that Ryan had a twin consultant

00:08:48.064 --> 00:08:52.164
come on set and explain how it is being a twin.

00:08:52.244 --> 00:08:56.064
And I thought that was amazing too, because you get to see the,

00:08:56.204 --> 00:08:58.024
learn the synergy between twins.

00:08:58.204 --> 00:09:01.464
How can they have this this connection

00:09:01.464 --> 00:09:04.444
with each other you know psychic connection or

00:09:04.444 --> 00:09:07.784
whatever and I thought that was amazing because it adds more adds

00:09:07.784 --> 00:09:10.644
more fruit into the soul to the to the show you know

00:09:10.644 --> 00:09:15.444
and I thought that was amazing and yeah the whole scene I mean everything was

00:09:15.444 --> 00:09:20.204
so great I mean I think the acting was great I love vampires I like horrors

00:09:20.204 --> 00:09:25.904
and stuff like that and it just it just makes me appreciate good art again because

00:09:25.904 --> 00:09:30.304
I'm not saying there's not any other good films because I'm always watching different things.

00:09:30.324 --> 00:09:34.524
Like I said, it's one of my hobbies to chill, sit back and watch a show and

00:09:34.524 --> 00:09:36.224
stuff and see what I can get from it.

00:09:36.324 --> 00:09:39.844
But this has been one of the best movies I've seen a long time since Get Out,

00:09:40.304 --> 00:09:43.744
and The Matrix and stuff like that. I mean, it has been one of the best.

00:09:43.924 --> 00:09:46.944
I think that Ryan did his thing. I'm so proud of him.

00:09:47.064 --> 00:09:51.504
And I hope other, especially Black filmmakers, you know, that feel like they

00:09:51.504 --> 00:09:55.184
can't do it. I hope this is a, this is a, like.

00:09:56.025 --> 00:10:01.085
Inspiration, you know, to go out and try the best you can, because it's not going to be easy.

00:10:01.165 --> 00:10:04.165
And he said it wasn't easy, but, and it's about choices too,

00:10:04.325 --> 00:10:07.685
you know, especially young filmmakers out there making the right choices and

00:10:07.685 --> 00:10:11.045
getting with the right people, you know, dating the right people.

00:10:11.165 --> 00:10:18.705
Because when he was in college, he met his wife, his then wife, his wife now.

00:10:18.925 --> 00:10:22.705
And he met her in in college and she

00:10:22.705 --> 00:10:25.945
helped him you know she bought him this this software to be

00:10:25.945 --> 00:10:28.765
able to create scripts with and I can't

00:10:28.765 --> 00:10:31.545
remember the name of the software but that software is still out now but we

00:10:31.545 --> 00:10:34.145
have AI now to help out but the whole point is that he

00:10:34.145 --> 00:10:37.025
had the right girlfriend there in college to help him get there

00:10:37.025 --> 00:10:39.925
so I think it's important to to also take

00:10:39.925 --> 00:10:42.745
in to be careful who you hang around with be careful who you're

00:10:42.745 --> 00:10:45.905
dating and and find your own journey and

00:10:45.905 --> 00:10:48.925
so what I want to say is that this man go

00:10:48.925 --> 00:10:51.885
support sinners is really good like I said everything

00:10:51.885 --> 00:10:55.505
was just perfect the fighting scenes were amazing the

00:10:55.505 --> 00:10:58.645
script was amazing everything was timely

00:10:58.645 --> 00:11:01.765
I like the soul in the scene when everybody was

00:11:01.765 --> 00:11:05.485
dancing in the club I like seeing the different dancers from different times

00:11:05.485 --> 00:11:09.265
and I really think he was trying to show that everything is connected there's

00:11:09.265 --> 00:11:14.425
nothing new under the sun you know everything's connected in its own way and

00:11:14.425 --> 00:11:18.925
it's just the it's like everything is happening all at once.

00:11:19.085 --> 00:11:24.985
We think, oh, this is gone. This was in 1900s, and now we're doing music this way.

00:11:25.125 --> 00:11:28.225
Well, everything is still there. Everything is happening everywhere all at once,

00:11:28.325 --> 00:11:30.805
like that movie. That was another good movie too, Everything Everywhere All

00:11:30.805 --> 00:11:32.425
At Once. Check that out. That was really good.

00:11:32.565 --> 00:11:37.465
But everything is definitely happening everywhere all at once. All I know is that.

00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:42.380
Music, you do music for you, but don't sell your soul for it.

00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:47.640
And, and that's, that's what I've, that's what I feel about that.

00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:53.920
And I love the, the blues, you know, the bringing back the blues energy and the guitar.

00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:57.980
And that was amazing because a lot of, a lot of the.

00:11:58.660 --> 00:12:02.300
Like I said, nothing has ever went away, but I think

00:12:02.300 --> 00:12:05.240
history kind of is repeating itself is showing

00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.000
itself even more even though it has never

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.100
left but it's like things are coming back into fruition people

00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:14.420
are yearning for that soul again that that

00:12:14.420 --> 00:12:17.220
downhole home soul and and that's

00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:19.940
what that music provided it was

00:12:19.940 --> 00:12:22.920
that blues where you can sit with a glass of whiskey

00:12:22.920 --> 00:12:25.960
and just put your head down listen and or go

00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:28.840
and zone out to another dimension and I think that

00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.740
that was great it was a tribute to the blues

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:34.600
you know if you will and I like towards

00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.840
the end when Sammy you know grows old and he's he's playing

00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.660
you know he's playing at this bar and

00:12:40.660 --> 00:12:44.520
stuff and and then Smoke comes

00:12:44.520 --> 00:12:49.540
in and he's you know you know I mean it might have been Stack but it's one of

00:12:49.540 --> 00:12:54.600
the twins look Smoker Stack one of the the twin that lived as a vampire he came

00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:59.240
in and he's basically saying hey you know stack told me not to kill you you

00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:01.500
know so that's why i'm not messing with you that's why i'm not

00:13:01.900 --> 00:13:07.600
doing anything to you and i and you know it sammy he doesn't want to he doesn't

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.680
you know he said hey i had enough of his life i don't want to live eternally

00:13:10.680 --> 00:13:14.300
i don't want to be a vampire i just want to die when i need to die so i'm done

00:13:14.300 --> 00:13:16.980
you know i had enough of this life and i think that um.

00:13:17.829 --> 00:13:20.749
Some people don't want to be a vampire and live forever through all this.

00:13:20.889 --> 00:13:24.029
And honestly, you know, if I chose, I'd probably rather be a witch.

00:13:24.089 --> 00:13:26.349
I wouldn't want to be, I don't think I want to be a vampire neither.

00:13:26.509 --> 00:13:29.109
I mean, it's just too much going on in this world for me to keep seeing.

00:13:29.109 --> 00:13:30.049
I'll tell you that right now.

00:13:30.149 --> 00:13:35.869
I don't know if I can keep seeing all this stuff that's going on and deal with that.

00:13:36.789 --> 00:13:38.769
So I don't blame Sammy for that one.

00:13:40.169 --> 00:13:43.689
And yeah, but I think that, you know, another thing that I noticed too about

00:13:43.689 --> 00:13:48.129
the movie was when the brothers came back to open up the joint,

00:13:48.389 --> 00:13:52.029
you know, the music club, I would call it the juke joint, because that's what

00:13:52.029 --> 00:13:55.069
they called it back in the day in 1932, the juke joint, you know,

00:13:55.109 --> 00:13:56.349
in the Jim Crow, Mississippi.

00:13:56.849 --> 00:14:03.189
I mean, that takes balls. So, I mean, for them to do that and to try to put

00:14:03.189 --> 00:14:07.869
some joy into the Black community, I found that to be interesting, too.

00:14:08.029 --> 00:14:11.609
I mean, they went to Chicago, did some things, they worked with Capone.

00:14:11.809 --> 00:14:15.609
Which was a known drug dealer or whatnot and you

00:14:15.609 --> 00:14:18.309
know they did some gambling and stuff and they came and took all

00:14:18.309 --> 00:14:21.369
that money said hey we're gonna open up this juke joint we're gonna open up this blues bar and

00:14:21.369 --> 00:14:24.029
do our thing and they just didn't expect all this

00:14:24.029 --> 00:14:27.509
stuff to happen you know they just didn't expect the vampires

00:14:27.509 --> 00:14:30.469
to come on the scene and all this stuff to happening and lose

00:14:30.469 --> 00:14:33.389
all these people that are in your soul but it just

00:14:33.389 --> 00:14:37.409
says a lot about about spiritual warfare and

00:14:37.409 --> 00:14:40.349
about being keeping your head on the swivel and and

00:14:40.349 --> 00:14:43.669
being careful who you trust and and and whatnot

00:14:43.669 --> 00:14:46.369
and and yeah i mean i think it was

00:14:46.369 --> 00:14:49.529
just an amazing movie and the the stuff that black

00:14:49.529 --> 00:14:52.529
people had to go through is is still going through is

00:14:52.529 --> 00:14:55.429
is crazy that the strength that that they have to

00:14:55.429 --> 00:14:58.249
still be able to dance and have joy despite having to

00:14:58.249 --> 00:15:00.989
pick cotton and and not get paid much and

00:15:00.989 --> 00:15:03.789
stuff like that and smoking stack bringing this juke

00:15:03.789 --> 00:15:07.089
joint gave them some possible joy some possible upliftment

00:15:07.089 --> 00:15:10.069
that they just didn't really have much of.

00:15:10.069 --> 00:15:12.969
You know because you're out there picking cotton and stuff

00:15:12.969 --> 00:15:15.689
and then if you try to do something then the kkk will kill

00:15:15.689 --> 00:15:18.389
you i mean so and the crazy

00:15:18.389 --> 00:15:21.129
thing is one scene when the other brother that

00:15:21.129 --> 00:15:24.029
turned into a vampire i think it was smoke he he came

00:15:24.029 --> 00:15:27.169
to stack he told him he said hey he's like you thought

00:15:27.169 --> 00:15:30.069
you was free he said but you was never free

00:15:30.069 --> 00:15:34.669
he was like you was never going to be free because because

00:15:34.669 --> 00:15:37.609
they were never going to let you be free basically and that

00:15:37.609 --> 00:15:42.949
part hit my soul because I feel like as a black a woman in America you're never

00:15:42.949 --> 00:15:46.789
really free like yeah we we're not picking cotton and we're not in slavery but

00:15:46.789 --> 00:15:51.249
you're not you're not free you know I mean and it still rings true to today

00:15:51.249 --> 00:15:56.849
even though that was 1932 because the white Irish vampire told him he said hey my my.

00:15:57.700 --> 00:16:01.940
You know, the other guy in the Klan, which is another white vampire,

00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.020
said, hey, his uncle was going to come blow the joint up tomorrow.

00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.960
You was never going to own this club. You was never going to own this building.

00:16:08.460 --> 00:16:12.180
And, you know, I think Stack didn't think about that.

00:16:12.280 --> 00:16:16.640
And he's like, dang, you know, like, but at the same time, it's like,

00:16:16.780 --> 00:16:20.240
he tried, you know, and when he realized that, he said, well,

00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:25.680
dang, you know, but yeah, freedom is, freedom is something else.

00:16:25.820 --> 00:16:28.000
And it's just not, it's definitely not here.

00:16:28.160 --> 00:16:30.260
It's never going to be here, especially for a Black person.

00:16:30.680 --> 00:16:36.340
And I think that that really hit hard and that probably hit a lot of people's

00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:39.940
souls that thought about it, that want freedom and want certain things to be fair.

00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.460
So, I mean, I say 10 out of 10 for that.

00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:47.680
I did not get to see a 9-max, although disappointing, but hey,

00:16:47.820 --> 00:16:54.320
I still got into the movies to see it and I had a good time and I cried a little bit. I laughed.

00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:58.300
There was some comedic scenes and whatnot.

00:16:58.540 --> 00:17:02.540
And it was just great. I had a tough week. So it was really great to be able

00:17:02.540 --> 00:17:08.640
to go and do something that can inspire me and inspire me to continue my music and do what I do.

00:17:09.080 --> 00:17:12.960
Because I, you know, like I said to maybe a few,

00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.360
I probably said this a few episodes ago basically i'm doing

00:17:16.360 --> 00:17:19.160
music for me now you know and anybody that resonates i'll put

00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.400
it out there for anybody that resonates anybody want to pick it up fine

00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.820
but i'm doing it for the future you know someone in

00:17:25.820 --> 00:17:31.860
i don't know year 3000 or whatever is going to be like oh you know who was that

00:17:31.860 --> 00:17:36.240
girl that sung that song you know who you know this was cool and i think that

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.020
that's what keeps me going and

00:17:38.020 --> 00:17:42.760
and also spiritual i feel like music is definitely very spiritual that's,

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:48.460
that's why it's so much going on in industry because music is spiritual it taps

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:52.020
you into certain frequencies and movies are too don't get me wrong movies are

00:17:52.020 --> 00:17:57.060
spiritual too you know that's why some people don't like watching horror movies and whatnot but.

00:17:57.781 --> 00:18:01.121
Music is definitely a spiritual experience, especially for the real artists.

00:18:01.401 --> 00:18:05.641
You know, like I said, from the womb to the tomb for me, you know,

00:18:05.821 --> 00:18:09.101
music calls me all the time. And every song ain't always about me.

00:18:09.281 --> 00:18:12.901
It's about, it might be something that just popped up in my head or a movie I watched.

00:18:13.041 --> 00:18:17.461
So it's just one of those things. And also just, I think with blues music,

00:18:17.721 --> 00:18:21.461
it just, I don't know, it just feels more freeing,

00:18:21.581 --> 00:18:24.701
you know, know the type of style of music and and breaking the rules

00:18:24.701 --> 00:18:27.681
and and following and singing from your soul and

00:18:27.681 --> 00:18:30.421
in whatever way that may land and just it's an

00:18:30.421 --> 00:18:34.561
amazing feeling and I think that artists will walk out fully inspired the ones

00:18:34.561 --> 00:18:38.601
that are are spiritually connected to music not just for the money but just

00:18:38.601 --> 00:18:43.401
connected they're going to come out feeling like a new person and maybe re-evaluate

00:18:43.401 --> 00:18:48.321
why they do music and and and really tap in and start doing some tunes they

00:18:48.321 --> 00:18:50.021
really want to do before they leave this earth.

00:18:50.181 --> 00:18:52.521
So I just want to say it was a great horror.

00:18:52.781 --> 00:18:54.981
It was telling you different things.

00:18:55.641 --> 00:19:01.081
You got the Jim Crow, you got the spiritual side, you got the vampires,

00:19:01.081 --> 00:19:04.801
you know, and you got a twin connection. You got a connection.

00:19:04.941 --> 00:19:09.301
You got a love connection too, because the connection between, well,

00:19:09.441 --> 00:19:14.441
I can't remember all the character names right now, but the love connections

00:19:14.441 --> 00:19:20.741
were strong especially with Smoke and the black lady that played the hoodoo,

00:19:21.281 --> 00:19:24.221
the hoodoo, I was doing the hoodoo I can't remember her name right now y'all

00:19:24.221 --> 00:19:28.061
so don't beat me up but it was amazing I think her name is Woonie,

00:19:28.121 --> 00:19:30.541
I think her name is Woonie or Winnie but.

00:19:31.891 --> 00:19:34.131
It was just amazing that scene, their

00:19:34.131 --> 00:19:39.271
love connection and how their love transcended after life, like after.

00:19:39.451 --> 00:19:43.991
And I think that some relationships do have that spiritual connection where

00:19:43.991 --> 00:19:49.131
it just, you just feel like, dang, we just connected and it's very rare, but it is there.

00:19:49.311 --> 00:19:52.851
And I thought that was a great thing to show that love, love is still there.

00:19:52.991 --> 00:19:58.871
Love can still be out there for people and it shows that spiritual side of love.

00:19:58.971 --> 00:20:01.531
So I thought that was an amazing thing to put in. So anyway,

00:20:01.711 --> 00:20:05.991
y'all, I just had to come in here and talk about this.

00:20:06.051 --> 00:20:09.091
