✨SPOILERS AHEAD✨
Watched Candyman (2021) for the first time and it’s honestly a good commentary on cycles and how they keep repeating themselves. Not just cycles though. Stories and legends. William, I’m pretty sure that’s his name, says that Candyman isn’t just Sherman. It’s a list of Black men, and even boys, who were wrongfully killed at the hands of oppressors. It’s a hive. Literally. This also shows in how Anthony names his art exhibit “Say My Name”. It’s not just for Sherman. It’s for every single person who makes up the hive. Who makes up Candyman. He even tells Brianna at the end to tell everybody. In so many different cultures all around the globe, this is how stories, legends, and even history continue to be spread. You have to tell them and speak their names. This is how we remember those who were wrongfully and unjustly taken from this world due to racism and prejudice as well. We have to keep talking about them to keep them alive, or else they may be forgotten. Yeah….it’s a 10/10 for me.

What we watched: Candyman.
Who we watched it for: Yahya Abdul-Mateen & Teyonah Parris.
What we thought: Nathan Stewart-Jarrett stole the show and there just weren't nearly enough bees.
PS: If you're playing the FGFC drinking game for every time Emily thinks an actor is dead while they're very much alive? Take a shot.
