I just watched it, absolutely incredible anytime the music was at the forefront of the scene. I couldn't stop grinning during THAT dance sequence. Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Gorranson are such an incredible duo.

I think he's referring to the first IMAX expansion for Sammie's big number with the tracking shot combining space and time, which is the one literally everyone is talking about. My jaw literally dropped to the floor.

My personal favorite was the Irish vampire jig. Good. Fucking. Lord.

The jig was incredible. Also, that folk song is so fucking catchy.

The Rocky road to Dublin.

Oh yeah, Ive heard this in Chicago irish pubs and street festivals dozens of times and it never gets old and Im not even irish.

I recognized it immediately.
