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!?”
