This week, Joshua and Joe look into a mirror and summon forth a conversation about Candyman (1992).

Our hosts welcome Dr. TJ Tallie to the Wes Craven Memorial Library. He is a professor of African History, and is seen but not heard.

The boys go deep into the politics of gay hook-up apps. Joe exoticizes White men. TJ makes his students watch Mean Girls for college credit. Joshua gushes over how romantic the Candyman is.

"If Candyman can ask for consent, and his insides are 97% bees, then so can you!"
