28 Days Lady-er: Episode 51 - Candyman (2021)

Say His Name.

This month, Sophie and Hannah finally get to talk about Nia DaCosta’s spiritual sequel to the 1992 film Candyman. Sophie does way too much research, and Hannah can’t stop burping. It’s one of our more serious episodes, but we hope that you’ll enjoy it.
