The Latest Podcast #47: Candyman
Film Inquiry presents The Latest, a podcast series tackling the latest releases, movie news, and discussions in the film community. Each week, join host Jesse Nussman for thoughtful discussions with exciting guests to break down the industry’s latest trends and dive deep into the movies driving conversation.
This week, Jesse and Hunter Heilman discuss Candyman. The two talk about the new film’s relationship to the original 1992 horror classic and the various allegorical readings in the Candyman mythology. Then, with differing opinions on the 2021 film, Jesse and Hunter debate whether Nia DaCosta and Jordan Peele’s new reimagining excels as a work of idea-driven horror film or becomes bogged down with its weighty themes.
