from Third Channel Podcast · host Third Channel Podcast
You won't know true ecstasy until you have tasted death. Join PJ and Derek as they reach this franchises strangest crossroads in Turi Meyer’s straight-to-video finale, Candyman: Day of the Dead (1999). In this episode the guys debate the film trading gothic urban horror for sunlit Los Angeles streets and Día de los Muertos imagery, reworking the legend into a generational curse, the franchise fatigue that shaped this overlooked entry, and ask whether saying his name one more time was ever going to end any other way. 📺Join us on Third Channel Patreon to support the show and gain access to bonus content!Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.
