Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995) feat. Doctor Jon Paul Higgins

<p>Get your hand grenade cocktail ready because we're heading to the glorious city of New Orleans to pick apart queer director Bill Condon's(!) 1995 slasher sequel <em>Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh</em>! Joining us for the discussion is renowned professor and national speaker Doctor Jon Paul Higgins!</p><p>As we walk along the parade route, we'll discuss the oft-used white savior trope (Seth Cohen's mom really wants to save these black teens!), family secrets involving mixed race genealogy and the always welcome presence of Tony Todd.</p><p>Plus, lengthy shots of a snow cones, atrocious mid-'90s CGI, magic mirrors and the film's odd decision to double down on black pain. Oh, and why is this New Orleans school open on Mardi Gras?</p><p>Questions? Comments? Snark?
