This week, Alex, Shantae, Dave, and Anselm discuss the most recent update to the infamous urban legend Candyman (2021). Written and directed by Nia DaCosta and co-written and produced by Jordan Peele, Candyman, like its 1992 predecessor, is the latest film to use the horror genre to explore the impact of racism on the Black experience in America.

The team discusses everything from how Candyman delivers on the horror thrills, to how it depicts violence against Black people, and even  whether Candyman is a super hero origin story. It's a deep, yet fun conversation that you don't want to miss, so check it out!
