*CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE "SINNERS"*
You thought you were going to listen to SOLVED! today, and you're not alone. We also thought we were going to make an episode of SOLVED!, but this turned into something a little bit different. So, we're calling it a "special" in which Jay!, Amanda, Deon and Erin discuss storytelling and mythology in general, and the extremely relevant and fascinating themes of the new Ryan Coogler film "Sinners," in particular. Because storytelling is the process by which humans attempt to understand ourselves, it is, by its nature, never ending.
