Episode 71 | Movie: Beetlejuice

Welcome back, classmates! You thought we were trapped in the podcast afterlife, but we survived the sandworms and checkered hallways to bring you another gem from that radical decade. Join us as we dive into the bonkers history of this classic movie, our memories of it hitting the big screen, and the strange twists as Beetlejuice goes animated, almost Hawaiian, then into the sequel waiting room for over 30 years. We talk ALMOST all things Beetlejuice in this episode, stopping short of this year's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice release. We save those juicy details for the next episode, so you can listen to this one without any worries of sequel spoilers. So grab your handbook, draw a chalk door, and walk with us into the glowing light for a dark comedy adventure with Burton, Keaton, Ryder, O'Hara, Davis, Baldwin, Elfman, and more!
