I am the writing on the wall, the whisper in the classroom. Join PJ and Derek in The Big Easy as they inspect Bill Condon’s sorrow-soaked sequel to the urban legend that never dies in Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995). In this episode the guys unpack how shifting the setting to New Orleans trades the cold brutality of Chicago for Southern Gothic excess, family curses, and a myth rooted in generational trauma that expands Daniel Robitaille’s backstory, reframing him as both monster and tragic figure. 📺
