Episode 027: Black Snake Moan (2006)

Samuel L. Jackson is the modern Bogart, and “Black Snake Moan” with Christina Ricci, is a lurid showcase for his righteous menace.

Directed by Craig Brewer. Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci & Justin Timberlake

How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Andras: “Black Snake Moan” wants you to think it’s a badder movie than it is. Like a great blues performer, its braggadocio draws you in so the divine motivating force of music, god, what have you, may heal you of your wickedness.
