Candyman star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II joins the show (47:34) to discuss how the franchise’s first all-Black creative team updated the horror classic to tell stories about how American society makes monsters of Black men and other truths about the structural violence of gentrification. THR contributor Richard Newby also joins Hollywood Remixed to walk us through the history and tropes pertaining to Black representation in the horror genre.
”Hollywood Remixed” is a topical, diversity-focused podcast from The Hollywood Reporter, hosted by Rebecca Sun. Each episode will be dedicated to a single theme – a type of character or story that has been traditionally underrepresented or misrepresented in pop culture – and feature an expert co-host as well as a special guest whose latest work exemplifies a new breakthrough in representation. We’ll revisit groundbreaking classics and introduce listeners to hidden gems, in order to better understand how film and television in the past has shaped progress in the present.
