Author: The Movie Podcast December 13, 2023 Duration: 16:26
On this SPECIAL EDITION of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined by Director and Producer REGINALD HUDLIN (House Party, Marshall, Django Unchained) for a conversation on his new film Candy Cane Lane which reunites him with Eddie Murphy after over 30 years. The film is a comedy adventure about a man on a mission to win his neighbourhood’s annual Christmas home decoration contest. After Chris (Eddie Murphy) inadvertently makes a deal with a mischievous elf named Pepper (Jillian Bell) to better his chances of winning, she casts a magic spell that brings the 12 Days of Christmas to life, and wreaks havoc on the whole town. At the risk of ruining the holidays for his family, Chris, his wife Carol (Tracee Ellis Ross), and their three children must race against the clock to break Pepper’s spell, battle deviously magical characters, and save Christmas for everyone. Candy Cane Lane is now streaming on Prime Video.
