Candyman (1992) & Candyman (2021)

BE WARNED: This episode starts with some appalling singing (disclaimer: Elaine has a very heavy cold). But once you get past that, revel in our ‘buzzing’ (sorry, not sorry) analysis of the original 1992 Candyman film and Nia DaCosta’s 2021 sequel.

We watched the original together at home. Then, due to a strange set of circumstances, Elaine popped to our local cinema to watch the latest film whilst Mark ended up viewing it in big ol’ London Town. Enjoy Mark’s “Northerner visits iconic London cinema” commentary half way through the episode.

We start with our review of Candyman (1992). Spoilers from 8:12. We move on to our spoiler free review of Candyman (2021) at 32:08. Spoilers from 40:29. Enjoy!
