Come with me, and be immortal..."In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your hosts Mark McManus and Emma Arneil explore Bernard Rose's iconic 1992 horror, Candyman.The scourge of a million playgrounds, Candyman became a meme before the internet.

"We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them..." In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your host Emma Arneil is joined by brand new guest Derrick McDuff to discuss Sofia Coppola's striking 1999 directorial debut, The Virgin Suicides.Tackling psychological themes with a serious dollop of angst, and boasting an incredible cast young and old, Coppola's debut was assured and profound, telling the story of sisters in 1975 Detroit. We wonder if it still carries the same power today...Host / EditorEmma ArneilGuestDerrick McDuffExecutive ProducerA. J.

"Aim it at her tits, kid..."
