“My husband and I watched Candyman for the first time after I started listening to this podcast and then immediately binged a slew of modern horror movies from both black and white creators so thank you guys for that!
I love that black folks have taken on the horror genre in a very intentional, socially conscious, thought-provoking way—made me fall in love with horror again after being off of it for years. That being said, the original Candyman was quite good IMO. If you’re rooting for the “bad guy” like we were, then I guess I struggle with the notion that Candy Man is being portrayed as an evil black man going after an innocent white woman. She was an arrogant, entitled woman who felt like she deserved to occupy a space that didn’t belong to her and when she faced consequences for that, I didn’t feel all that bad.
The podcast is simply fascinating even though Ruthie Mae’s horrific death is nothing short of a nightmare.
The host is wonderful and does a great job probing the people he interviews from Cabrini Greene residents to the director of Candyman (don’t remember his name which is cool because he couldn’t be bothered to remember Ruthie Mae’s name 🙃)
I LOVE the vociferous debate of the movie and I truly feel like I can see all sides but easy for me to say as a white woman whose family member wasn’t victimized by this horrific event.
Just a very well-made, extremely thoughtful and provocative podcast. Highly recommend!”

“My new true crime obsession about a movie I watched as a kid & never knew the real story (or at least this piece of it). The host is a perfect pick - just great! Can’t wait until the next episode!”
