It can be all of those things and also be a horror movie.
The reason Sinners is so good is that it’s not a horror movie. It is a film about the Black experience, and the immigrant experience in America. It tells the story of marginalized peoples and uses vampires as allegory to tell that story. It is SO much more than a “vampire movie.”

And on the Magnum: Dr. Eric Sprankle talks about his fascinating new book "DIY: The Wonderfully Weird History and Science of Masturbation." We talk semen retention, anti-wanking wellness influencers, and what science has learned about — er — how fetuses pass the time...

You can definitely tell he's a professional educator as the tone is very approachable, and actually quite relevant to the current online censorship push. I hope the book sells well.

I checked this out on Libby, but will be purchasing a soft - or maybe hard? (pun intended) - copy for myself.
Well-written and so far it’s a perfect blend of science, history, and religion mixed with very witty humour.
My favourite type of book regardless of topic, so bonus that it’s about sex.

In today's show, @drsprankle.bsky.social and I are exploring what science says about the purported health benefits of semen retention, whether abstaining from masturbation affects testosterone, and whether you can really become “addicted” to masturbating. www.sexandpsychology.com/blog/podcast...
