Episode 98 – Candyman (2021)

While it’s hampered by a muddled climax, strong direction and performances make Nia DaCosta’s film a worthy heir to the Candyman mantle.

Episode 91 – False Positive

This Ilana Glazer vehicle grapples with some serious real-life issues, and elements of the film have a great deal of merit, but it also has a lot of problems – none more glaring than its WWE-inflected climax that makes a few tone-deaf choices.

Episode 85 – Assimilate

This blatant Body Snatchers knockoff has nothing to contribute to the formula, except an unnecessarily convoluted life cycle for the pod people.

Episode 83 – Swallow

Matt and Jim can’t decide which is more horrifying: Hunter’s marriage, or her rapidly escalating case of pica. Just kidding – it’s definitely her marriage.
