Previous Episode: The Exorcist (1973)

It’s time to say his name! On this week’s episode, we discuss the 2021 reboot/sequel CANDYMAN from director Nia DaCosta! And never fear, we’ve split this episode into two halves, one upfront giving you some spoiler-free impressions before we dive into the hive of all the details behind this bloody new affair. We talk storytelling ambition vs. focus, we’re slightly thrown by the inclusion of Paul Hogan as Crocodile Dundee, we debate whether the film should have been called Candyman$, and we sing the praises of Colman Domingo along with the direction and some incredible practical effects work. Be our vict… listener! Yeah, that’s it - be our LISTENER!!
