Bone Temple.
StefanoGUEST
movie.
StefanoGUEST
Nia DaCosta.
StefanoGUEST
Nia
CamHOST
DaCosta, yes, who also directed the Candyman movie with Yahya Abdul-Mateen that I really, really liked.
CamHOST
I love both the same amount.
CamHOST
There's just like, there is a kind of a teeter-totter effect because they're so different in terms of, I mean, Danny Boyle's movies are so frenetic and so crazy.
CamHOST
And Nia DaCosta has such an earthy feel to her movies and it breathes.
CamHOST
I think this one, her style suits this story very well.
RobertHOST
It is really, really good as well.
JanannHOST
Nia DaCosta.
JanannHOST
Nia
RobertHOST
DaCosta.
Tracie Guy-DeckerHOST
We'll see if I can screw my courage to the sticking place and actually watch it.
Emily Guy BirkenHOST
Just wanted to, it's directed by Nia DaCosta, who I believe is a Black woman director.
Tracie Guy-DeckerHOST
And Peele wrote it?
Emily Guy BirkenHOST
No, I think Peele produced it.
Andy MeakinHOST
Yeah.
Andy MeakinHOST
Jordan Peele as producer brought on board Nia DaCosta to bring Candyman back for a new generation.
Andy MeakinHOST
His legend had been forgotten.
Andy MeakinHOST
It's time to remind the world not to say that name into a mirror five times.
LonelyHOST
It is one of the scariest scenes that I saw that year.
LonelyHOST
Next is Candyman for 2021, directed by Nia DaCosta.
LonelyHOST
This is a sequel to the 1992 Candyman, and it returns to the now-gentrified Chicago neighborhood where the legend began.
LonelyHOST
This is a beautiful film.
LonelyHOST
Nia DaCosta knocks us out of the park with the imagery.
LonelyHOST
I love the little spin on the art exhibit and what's going on there.
LonelyHOST
Really, really awesome.
MikeHOST
I've only seen it once, though, so I wasn't ready to put it on the list.
Steve GuntliHOST
I've been meaning to is it's it's in conversation with those other movies, but it's very much its own thing and it's got its own energy and it's got its own kind of message that's trying to convey even different from like 28 years later, the immediate prequel, like it feels like a very different movie altogether.
Avery CoffeyGUEST
Yeah, I definitely wish that it had been received a lot better because I think that what Nia DaCosta did, and I'm forgetting who wrote it.
Avery CoffeyGUEST
Alex Garland.
Steve GuntliHOST
Alex Garland, yeah.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
well
Kyle StuckHOST
um yes as as abby just said and i just um cheekily hinted at as well as we probably know if you've listened to their reviews i did not like the 28 years later by itself i i was disappointed it's not that i hated it but i was not super happy with it and so i was very curious going into this how i was going to feel about with it being a continuation of what i did not like at the end of the first movie which was the jimmies where i just was like what the hell is this i loved that and that's why you're on this podcast abby because we need we need that energy here and we need the contrast um because it's not just the kyle show it's the night shift with my spooky buddies But I will, I'll say that I think like, I loved, yeah, what Nia DaCosta did.
Kyle StuckHOST
And also Alex Garland with the script, just like, it's tough because this movie can't exist without the first one.
Kyle StuckHOST
Because there's, like you just said, just describing the plot and the characters, it's like, you need the first film to actually even exist.
Chris CostelloGUEST
I thought the direction was so different from 28 Years, but still also really strong.
Chris CostelloGUEST
I'm a big fan of Nia DaCosta.
Chris CostelloGUEST
I liked her Candyman reboot, even though a lot of people didn't.
Chris CostelloGUEST
um yeah bone
Greg AlbaHOST
I'm ceiling.
Greg AlbaHOST
It's funny, I said Nia DaCosta, and I did not know that that was going to be a black woman.
Greg AlbaHOST
I know!
John HumphreyHOST
Yeah, like that joke is...
John HumphreyHOST
Ten minutes later...
John HumphreyHOST
It was like a racial joke, but I was just talking about DaCosta.
John HumphreyHOST
We also joked in episode one about Nia DaCosta.
John HumphreyHOST
We set that up for him.
