Jay, Captain Keith and Wayne Da Que discuss Jordan Peele's written and produced new Candyman film directed by Nia DaCosta and starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Colman Domingo, and Kyle Kaminsky. Vanessa Williams, Virginia Madsen, and Tony Todd also reprise their roles from the original film.
In 2019, twenty-seven years after the events of the first film, visual artist Anthony McCoy lives in Chicago with his girlfriend, art gallery director Brianna Cartwright. Brianna's brother Troy shares the urban legend of Helen Lyle, a graduate student who supposedly went on a killing spree in the early 1990s, culminating in a bonfire outside the Cabrini-Green housing project when she attempted to sacrifice a baby, with the residents able to rescue the child before Helen perished in the fire in an apparent act of self-immolation.
