Candyman
Description
You were not content with the stories, so I was obliged to come. Join PJ and Derek as they step up to the mirror to summon Bernard Rose’s Candyman (1992). In this episode the guys discuss Tony Todd’s iconic performance, Philip Glass’s hypnotic score, and the film’s unsettling use of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green as both setting and symbol. Candyman transforms a slasher premise into something far more unsettling: a meditation on belief, violence, race, and the stories societies choose to repeat. 📺
