Candy Men is a podcast all about Netflix's Sweet Tooth, the adaptation of Jeff Lemire's Vertigo series, and not the Candyman films. Sorry. Each podcast we'll break down an episode of the Netflix series, and review a piece of candy. From Comic Book Club, the folks behind the long running live show, Riverdale After Dark, MarvelVision and much more.
On a special bonus episode of our Sweet Tooth podcast, we're talking to Amanda Burrell, Executive Producer of the series and President of Team Downey. Find out what went on behind the scenes of the show's New Zealand shoot, how it dealt with COVID, the jump from Hulu to Netflix, and why they're ready to start shooting Season 2 right now.

It's the end of the road for Gus and company as we recap the Sweet Tooth Season 1 finale, "Big Man." After the revelations of the previous episode, Gus has to reckon with who - and what - he is now.

But the arrival of Singh and Rani might leave the first season of the show in a very dark place. Plus, we review Kit Kat, and go to bat for which candy should win the Syrup Cup.
