What an absolutely perfect reimagining/continuation of one of the great, subversive commentaries in horror. Taking all of the best elements of the original “Candyman” and expanding on them was just what the guys were hoping for, whether they knew it or not! From style to substance and everything in-between, “Candyman” delivered so much more than we could cover in a single podcast, but Tim and Ryan did their best to give at least the highlights of what this film did so well. Earning it a rare “double buy,” if you haven’t seen the new “Candyman” yet, you absolutely must (with our recommenDEADtion of watching the original first).
