Episode 7: "Candyman"

“You can’t have a rom-com where people are making out with bees in their mouths.”

This week our fearless hosts watch 1992’s Candyman, where they see how a British, white, male director unpacks what it’s like to be a female interacting within a poor, black, Chicago community. Tony Todd defined a character that still endures to this day, and the question of “Would you say ‘Candyman’ in the mirror five times?” is still whispered at sleepovers.
