Candyman (1992) feat. Brother Ghoulish

<p>In anticipation of Nia DaCosta's sequel, we're taking the highway to Cabrini Green to revisit Bernard Rose's<em> </em>iconic 1992 film, <em>Candyman</em>. Joining us to unpack the white privilege, the racial critiques and the enduring appeal of Tony Todd is Ryan Kinney aka Brother Ghoulish.</p><p>Up for discussion: changes from queer writer Clive Barker's short story <em>The Forgotten</em>, the historical reality of the 80s housing crisis in America, Trace's theory about what Candyman represents, and Joe's reading of Virginia Madsen's Helen as a narcissist.</p><p>Plus: chunky peanut butter poo, poor Kasi Lemmons' terrible death make-up, Stacey's perky nipples, an extended <em>Resident Evil</em> tangent and Ryan's threat to take over the podcast.</p><p>References:</p><ul><li>Aviva Briefel and Sianne Ngai. “How much did you pay for this place?"
