    In Memoriam: Jeff Barnaby, Director of Blood Quantum

    In this special episode, Chuck and Karama pay tribute to Mi’kmaq director Jeff Barnaby, with a conversation the three shared before the director's passing in 2022. In this interview, Jeff talks about his film Blood Quantum (2019), a zombie apocalypse film set in the Red Crow Indian Reservation Listiguj, in Quebec, Canada. The three of them talk about the impact of the 1981 salmon raid on Listiguj, intergenerational trauma from colonialism, and the environmental message of Blood Quantum.

  • Candyman: An Icon of Horror

    Candyman: An Icon of Horror
    Nov 8 2022

    This week, Chuck and Karama break down the 1992 horror classic Candyman. And they geek out over how the original compares to its “spiritual sequel,” the 2021 Candyman directed by Nia DaCosta. Special guest, author Victor LaValle, provides a ton of insight into both films - and he has a theory on who the killer is in the original. Plus, why Chuck never said Candyman five times growing up.
