“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.
Midnight Murderama
Welcome to the eighth circle of podcast hell. This is Midnight Murderama, the weekly podcast where I, Jamie, resident undead expert, and my two friends, JT and Russell, take a deep, lonely dive into the dark recesses of Hollywood.
Join us as we meticulously research, argue over, and finally rate and review the most horrific and terrifying films ever made — with the ultimate goal to hilariously examine exactly what it is about ourselves that makes us love the horror movies that define us, and to determine which of these legendaries films deserve a place in the pantheon of horror, blasted onto the twisted face of Mount Murdermore.
