Podcasts about Candyman

Send us a textEver notice how some jokes age like fine wine while others turn flat the second the credits roll? We dig into that sweet spot where craft, culture, and timing collide—starting with the thorny question of separating art from the artist as the Diddy headlines swirl, then moving straight into the films and shows that shaped our comedic DNA. From Boomerang's Black elegance and Harlem Nights' stacked cast to Life's eternal quotables, we unpack why Eddie Murphy still holds the belt for big-screen comedy while Jamie Foxx might be the most versatile performer of his generation—piano, pipes, and punchlines on demand.We run a spirited bracket on the funniest Black sitcoms to last five seasons, with Martin winning on character work alone—Dragonfly Jones, Jerome, and Otis still crack us up. Then it's a lap through sketch comedy's hall of fame: In Living Color as blueprint, Chappelle's Show as peak, and the ripple effect across Key & Peele. TV nostalgia hits hard with New York Undercover and a spicy take on The Wire, raising the question of what's timeless versus what's just beloved. Along the way, we share personal stories, unexpected cameos we forgot we knew, and the kind of lived-in details you only get from rewatching classics at 2 a.m.Horror fans get a full segment too. We draw clean lines between thrillers and slashers, break down why The Conjuring rattled grown folks, and revisit Candyman's lingering dread. Even spoofs get their flowers—Scary Movie, Hollywood Shuffle, and a few cult picks that still surprise. We close with a tight watch list—Vampire in Brooklyn and Talking Dirty After Dark included—and a big takeaway: classics aren't crowned by hype, they're proven by rewatch value, quotability, and how well they keep saying something real long after the moment passes.If you laughed, argued with us in your head, or added a title to your queue, follow the show, share this episode with a friend, and drop your top five comedies in a review. Your list might change ours next week.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

AN EVENING WITH THE RAT PACK Tony Sands as "Frank Sinatra" Robert Cabella as "Dean Martin" & Jeff Foote as "Sammy Davis Jr."   The Tony Sands Rat Pack Tribute, often titled "Rat Pack Together Again," is a live stage show that brings to life the style, music, and camaraderie of the legendary Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.. The performance is a mix of iconic songs, comedy sketches, and witty banter, designed to transport the audience back to the golden era of Las Vegas entertainment. Key Features of the Show: Performers: Tony Sands stars as Frank Sinatra, with other performers taking on the roles of Dean Martin (e.g., Robert Cabella) and Sammy Davis Jr. (e.g., Jeff Foote). Their portrayals are described as "spot on," capturing the unique charisma and vocal styles of the original stars. Live Big Band Music: The show features a "wonderful mix" of the Rat Pack's greatest hits, including Sinatra's "Come Fly With Me" and "My Way," Martin's "That's Amore" and "Everybody Loves Somebody," and Davis Jr.'s "Mr. Bojangles" and "Candy Man". The performers sing individual hits as well as songs where they would have united on stage. Live Band: The impersonators are typically backed by a live big band, such as the group Swingtopia, which provides rich and authentic musical arrangements that fill the room.Atmosphere: The performance aims to recreate the experience of seeing the original Rat Pack live at the Sands Casino in the 1960s. This includes "breezy" onstage banter, light-hearted comedy, and crowd work that captures the genuine chemistry and "mischief" of the trio. Themed Shows: Sands also offers a Christmas-themed version of the show, which incorporates seasonal classics like "White Christmas" and "Let It Snow" alongside the standard hits. The overall experience is a high-energy, nostalgic journey that pays tribute to an era of classic American entertainment, leaving audiences feeling as though the legends are still performing today. You can find more details about the performer and tour dates on the Tony Sands website. See less

Med avstamp i begreppet "urban wyrd" tar vi ett par bestämda kliv rakt ner i tunnelbanan, stadens kollektiva undermedvetna. På vägen ner luftar vi också Freuds "das unheimliche" och psykogeografi, båda begreppen hyfsat relevanta för tunnelbanan som skådeplats i skräckfiktionen. Vi gör också vårt bästa för att få grepp om filmerna Quatermass and the Pit från 1967 och Deathline från 1972. Johannes gläds åt längdskillnaden mellan Donald Pleasence och Christopher Lee och pekar ut några viktiga faktorer som gör Deathline till en på många sätt politisk film. Tomas poängterar, med ett mått av skadeglädje, att Quatermass and the Pit hyllas av Carpenter i guldrullen In the Mouth of Madness genom att staden och tunnelbanestationen delar namn, nämligen: Hobbs End. Vi pratar också bland annat om: Adam Scovell, folk horror, Witchfinder General, Blood On Satan´s Claw, The Wicker Man, konfliktlinjen nutid/dåtid, folktro, vidskepligheter, The Folk Horror Chain, Candyman, Cabrini Green, isolation, urbana legender, folklore, hemsökt arkitektur, psykogeografi, liminal spaces, Nigel Kneale, science fiction, The Quatermass Xperiment, Quatermass 2, The Woman in Black, The Stone Tape, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, John Carpenter, Prince of Darkness, ockulta utredningar, Swinging London, kosmisk skräck, M.R.

Who's ready to talk more about ABC's tragically cancelled series, Selfie?Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) have returned to talk about an episode that focuses a lot on Charmonique and her son, Kevin: "Nugget of Wisdom"! They discuss Academy Award winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph's performance in this episode — and why we should all aspire to have the kind of self-love Charmonique does. The duo spends a lot of time unpacking the startlingly apropos advice that a 2014 show has for us about social media perceptions and work-life balance in 2025. Jenn and Chels conclude by talking about why there needs to be more romance on television and movies and debate the best dipping sauces for chicken nuggets.Enjoy!Mentioned in this episode:Our episode with Jessie Ennis.Morgan's podcast, Female Gaze: The Film Club.Our recommended media:Loot (Apple TV+)Best Friends With Nicole Byer & Sasheer Zamata podcastThe films of Nia DaCosta/Tessa Thompson (Little Woods, Passing, Candyman, The Marvels, Hedda).Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, and Regina Hall in One Battle After Another.Find your local food bank and ways to support your community this holiday season.Follow us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Twitter for more fun content.

This week's Deadpod takes us to Chicago - to the Uptown Theater home of many fine Grateful Dead shows. This one is from Saturday, November 18, 1978.  Our tape starts, unfortunately, with an abbreviated 'Jack Straw', but what we have shows us the energy the band came on stage with on this evening. A soulful 'Candyman' follows, then the 'Me & My Uncle>Big River' combo - marked by an exceptional Big River marked by some very nice solos by Garcia. He's just warming up however, as he follows with a great 'Sugaree' The rest of the set is equally well played, but I want to point out the beautiful 'From the Heart of Me' that Donna Jean Godchaux performs. She sings this one beautifully, and I wanted to bring us a reminder of just how great she was. I'm very saddened by her passing as I'm sure you are as well..   Grateful Dead Uptown Theatre Chicago, IL 11/18/1978 - Saturday One      Jack Straw [5:37]   Candyman [7:13]   Me And My Uncle [2:58] >  Big River [6:11]   Sugaree [13:53]   El Paso [4:10]   Stagger Lee [6:05]   It's All Over Now [6:44]   From The Heart Of Me [3:29]   The Music Never Stopped [7:37]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod110725.mp3         "When I awoke the stars were out And shining, shining for you and me All I ever want to be Safe and warm In your arms All I have from the heart of me"

They delve deeper into specific essays and how they bring forward often overlooked perspectives, including some in Harlem. The duo also talk about how short a time it's been since the major developments in the Civil Rights era around the 1960s and even the 13th Amendment from around 100 years prior. Their first Ellison discussion on GCC was in ep 260 (February 2025) delving deep into Ellison's most famous written work; Invisible Man.

We've got a little surprise for you this spooky season… Tom, Ben & Dan are back with a Halloween special that will send shivers down your spine.It's Halloween night, 1974, in Pasadena, Texas. Eight-year-old Timothy O'Bryan is out trick-or-treating with his little sister, Elizabeth, and a friend from down the street... all under the watchful eye of Timothy's father, Ronald Clark O'Bryan. A well-respected church deacon, a loving parent, and a man trusted by his community…The evening goes perfectly. The children race from door to door, their bags filling with sweets and smiles. But when they return home and tuck into their hard-earned candy, one treat will change everything. What should have been a night of innocent fun becomes a chilling tragedy that would haunt Halloween forever.Join the boys as they unwrap the horrifying true story of The Candy Man.

In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of the actor who played one of the most iconic villians in horror film history... Tony Todd! Desperately desiring to be an actor since he was a little boy, this New England native went from working at the Artisits Collective as a teen to joining the Eugene O'Neill Actors Institute to hone his acting skills. At 28, this brilliant character actor landed in New York City and in two weeks was working on stage in equity shows: playing in Shakespeare's greats or the latest new plays. He was later discovered by Oliver Stone and switched to a life of film, soon becoming a beloved member of Star-Trek and a big star from one of the scariest horror remakes ever. His amazing skills and complex character work in Candyman (1992) would take him on 30-year-old journey with 4 spectacular sequels. He is also well know for his roles in other fantastic films, video games, and shows such as Night of the Living Dead (1990), the Final Destination series (2000-2025), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009), Star-Trek: The Next Generation (1990-1991), The Flash (2014-2023), and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (2024).  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

A murderous ghost with a hook for a hand brings terror to the Chicago projects. For our Halloween spooktacular, we discuss how many times saying a supernatural killer's name is too many, what a bee sting should be worth, and this movie's random connection to Lost. Then we find out if Candyman stands the Test of Time.

On Halloween night in 1974, Ronald Clark O'Bryan handed his son a Pixy Stix filled with cyanide, unknowingly creating one of America's darkest modern legends. Behind his mask as a churchgoing father and optician, O'Bryan was drowning in debt and had secretly taken out life insurance policies on his children. His desperate act of greed would not only claim his son's life but forever change how parents viewed Halloween candy.

Say his name five times... or just press play once, that's safer. This week on Xtra Butta, Cam and Dylan head straight into the honey-dripping nightmare of the 90s horror classic Candyman. They break down the story of Helen Lyle the curious grad student who clearly never heard the phrase “mind your business” as she dives into Chicago's Cabrini-Green projects and accidentally summons a hook-handed ghost with a serious grudge and a sweet tooth. Expect talk about bees, bad decisions, and Tony Todd's legendary voice that could make an audiobook about taxes sound terrifying. The guys dig into what made Candyman such an elevated horror flick the social commentary, the gothic vibe, and the fact that it somehow made everyone scared of mirrors for a decade. From jump scares to philosophical stares, Xtra Butta serves up another buttery-smooth breakdown this time topped with a drizzle of honey and a side of “why would you say his name again!?” Wanna ask us something?!?

"I love adaptations. The beauty of adaptation, especially a classic, like Shakespeare and Chekhov or Ibsen, they're such a gift because they give you this beautiful framework, and it's almost like they're begging you to take it and make it your own," says writer/director Nia DaCosta about adapting Henrik Ibsen's 1891 play Hedda Gabler into her new film Hedda.   Set in the 1950s, the movie stars Tessa Thompson in the lead role, Imogen Poots as Thea, and reimagines the character Eilert Lovborg as a queer woman (now Eileen), played by Nina Hoss.  We chat with Nia DaCosta about her journey to becoming a filmmaker, genre hopping into horror with Candyman and the upcoming 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. She even made the superhero movie The Marvels. We also talk about the challenges of tackling the complicated, often cruel character of Hedda in the new film.  "When I read the play [Hedda Gabler]," says DaCosta, "I'm like, this woman is hilarious! She's absolutely absurd. In the play, she's so verbose roaming around this sitting room, yelling at everyone who comes in. I wanted to replicate that, but more through action. And then there's the empathy part of it. To me, her tragedy is that she will never know herself. It's a life's work to understand and know ourselves, our emotional world. I think because she is so cruel, because she is so unhappy, because she has made these decisions that have trapped herself in this life – that to me is really sad. But I don't want people to forgive her for what she's done, or to excuse it."  DaCosta also shares her advice on adapting someone else's story. "I think you have to know why you want to do it, and what it is you want to use the work to say. To let that 'why' sort of guide your pen. That's my convoluted way of saying trust your gut."  If you've been thinking about adapting a classic play into a modern movie, you don't want to miss this podcast.

"From the top of the world — fabulous 1340 KAB, Antonio Bay!"Hey, it's Halloween, and we're taking a whack at another '80s horror favorite: John Carpenter's “minor classic,” The Fog.Specifically, that moment after the radio station fire, the inspiration for this week's episode. I really wanted to perpetually capture that long piano note, with the wind and fog horns. Oh those gloomy piano keys and castrated foghorns (or maybe the deep fog horns are only an east coast thing).I still love this movie for its sound design. The audible tension created by the film's sound-team feels just as threatening today as it was back then. The contrast between the oddly cheerful KAB radio IDs and the ominous water spillage from a doomed piece of wood is personal fave. That, mid-jingle, a garbled threat cuts through, muttering about “...albatrosses around necks" still takes my breath.Maybe The Fog is one of the sillier '80s horror films in terms of premise — but as a kid, the idea of murderous lepers traveling in a glowing mist like corpse-pirate ninjas seemed totally plausible. I was shook.Basically, the movie could be summed up as “YOU ONLY MOVED THE HEADSTONES!” — but on water. Never mind that The Fog came out two years earlier than Poltergeist. Actually, no — let's mind it. Maybe Spielberg watched The Fog and thought, “We'll do The Fog on land — I already did a water horror movie.” Or stories of history-born revenge haunting the modern world are a classic trope (think The Turn of the Screw, Candyman, A Christmas Carol, etc.) Either way, both Poltergeist and The Fog deliver the murderous ghostly dead in strange costumes.And that raises a question: if ghosts exist, are they doomed to wear the outfit they died in? Or can they rotate through their wardrobe from life? (Because honestly, I'd love to haunt people in my Nike Air Pegasus from '91. So sick...)PS: If you're looking for more horror ambience vibes follow the links to check out our episodes for Poltergeist, the Excocist, the Shining, or Susperia.

This week we celebrate Halloween by playing our favorite game: Candyman!

DaCosta directed the box office hit horror movie Candyman and The Marvels. Her latest, Hedda, is an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's 1891 play, Hedda Gabler. She reimagines the main character as a queer, mixed-race Black woman, played by Tessa Thompson. DaCosta spoke with Tonya Mosley about navigating white spaces in Hollywood, why she loves horror, and her time as a production assistant. Also, jazz critic Martin Johnson reviews bassist Linda May Han Oh's album Strange Heavens.

But before the hook-handed ghost ever terrified you in your nightmares, there was a real woman in Chicago whose screams went unanswered.  In 1987, 52-year-old Ruthie Mae McCoy called 911, terrified that someone was breaking into her apartment through her bathroom mirror. Hours later, Ruthie Mae was dead. What followed was a horrifying chain of neglect, systemic failure, and indifference that would later inspire one of horror's most iconic stories.  This episode uncovers the real tragedy that birthed the Candyman myth, which was Ruthie Mae's fight for safety inside Chicago's most dangerous public housing project, the police who didn't listen, and the killers who slipped through the walls like ghosts.  Before there was Candyman, there was Ruthie Mae McCoy....and her story is far more terrifying than fiction.

Candyman (2021) — Season 4, Episode 13Say his name… if you dare.

Hello Poison Friends! We are less than a week away from Halloween and I did not want to miss a chance to talk about an old urban legend dealing with trick or treaters being poisoned via the candy they collect. Stories of varying characters and settings, but the same plot, have traveled around and have caused a lot of fear among parents and children alike. In this episode, we are covering a specific case that encouraged the "poisoned Halloween candy" myths to a new level. In 1974, near Houston, TX, Timothy O'Bryan was 8 years old when he ate some Pixie Stix candy powder and died less than an hour later after vomiting and convulsing. He didn't even make it to the hospital. According to the boys father, this Pixie Stix, along with four others he had given to his daughter, a neighbor's two children, and a child he had known from their church, was given to him by a man in a house they had visited during trick or treating that evening. Mr. O'Bryan claimed that he waited at the door even after his children and neighbors ran to the next house and after a moment the door opened in the dark and an arm handed the candy to him. He stated he saw no face or other features. Just an arm in the dark. This story struck fear into the hearts of those living nearby, of course, but it ended with a horrifying twist. Along with this story, we are discussing some similar incidents and the outcomes of them as well as whether poison was the cause or not.Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

On October 31st, 1974, the O'Bryan family set out for Halloween in Deer Park, just outside of Houston, Texas. Despite the rain, Ronald Clark O'Bryan and neighbor Jim Bates took their kids, four in total, out to trick or treating. But this Halloween turned out to be fatal for one of the O'Bryan children. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss The Candy Man. Timothy O'Bryan ate a Pixy Stix that night, became extremely ill, and died. This caused a massive panic throughout the area. The police weren't sure who was giving out laced candy and how much was out there. People were shocked when the police figured out who perpetrated this heinous act.   You can help support the show through Patreon. We'd love to connect with listeners on social media.

As we approach the end of spooky season, Sara shares picks for horror movies available at the library: the 2021 Candyman remake, The Collector, Wes Craven's The Serpent and the Rainbow, Sinister, and the Silent Hill films. Then, dive into horoscopes with Nicole—what makes them appealing, the psychology behind them like the Barnum effect, and tips for using them as prompts for journaling or meditation. As always, check out library resources for more on folklore and astrology!

In part two of our Halloween specials, things go bump in the night as we look at what we're calling the Black Horror Canon—horror films that feature Black heroes and protagonists, majority Black casts, or stories rooted in the Black experience. We resurrect some true classics like Night of the Living Dead, Blacula, and Candyman, then creep our way into more modern examples such as Attack the Block, Get Out, and Nope. We even touch on Black horror comedies like Tales from the Hood and The Blackening. Along the way, we ponder why some Black characters don't make it past the first act, Black audiences' long and complicated relationship with horror both on screen and in real life, and what keeps all of us coming back to horror—the genre that just won't die!

This week, on How to Survive, Danielle and Kristine learn how to survive urban legends — from Cropsey to Candyman — and comedian Kevin Avery joins to share his own real-life medical scare involving a benign tumor. It's a mix of monsters, medicine, and mayhem — only on How to Survive!

Educator & podcaster Tony Holt Jr returns to GCC to talk about the first of Ralph Ellison's essays; Shadow and Act! This massive conversation had to be split in two (all Patreon supporters already have it in full), but this week in part 1, Tony & Mike discuss Ellison's writing style and the value & timelessness of the essays. The two come from different perspectives (Tony: a Black American and Mike: a White Englishman) and not only discuss how a healthy dialogue can be made, but also spend their time deconstructing the meaning and value of such discussions and the work of these essays, both on specific parts and on the overall themes within. Although we encourage you to read these essays, they are not essential to enjoying this incredibly important discussion on one of the 20th Century's most talented and prolific authors. Their first Ellison discussion on GCC was in ep 260 (February 2025) delving deep into Ellison's most famous written work; Invisible Man. Part 2 will release in two weeks, but if you want early access, as well as bonus episodes, including extra episodes for Spooky Season, including the Candyman and the Scooby-Doo movies, and more!
