Candyman and the Urban Horrors of History

Poster for Bernard Rose’s Candyman.

Did you hear the one about the teenager who said Candyman five times in the mirror? Was this possibly the greatest Horror movie of the 1990s? In this episode, Jason and Ali talk about Candyman (1992), Candyman (2021), and 'The Forbidden', the short story that inspired the movies. They'll discuss urban geography, police brutality, and the evils of participatory art.
