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!"

We're being consumed by John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)! We discuss the upcoming Child's Play and Pet Sematary remakes, spilling imaginary tea with Lupita Nyong'o, and the state of our social media pages thanks to our latest student (ie unpaid) intern Brian! Joe gets very personal with Gus Kenworthy. Joshua goes on a rant about adaptations. We try to figure out if The Thing is about homoeroticism, the "devouring woman," or Cold War trust issues.

This episode is a sequel/reimaginaning/remake/reboot? of Fright School episode 3 GAYLIENS
