Beetlejuice (Original) - 40’s On The 80’s Film Review

Candyman.... Candyman.....Candyman...... uggh...... who has the time to say the name 5 times?? For REAL emergencies, you need help sooner rather than later. When you have reached the end of your rope and absolutely, positively need to rid yourself of the thorn in your side... there's only one choice. BEETLEJUICE!  This 1988 Tim Burton classic stars the immensely talented Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as the otherworldly specters who enter into a business deal without fully understanding the gravity (or lack thereof) of their situation. 

Life after death can have it's challenges and what happens when you're trapped in your home with disturbances you can't control? Figure it out yourself or call someone for help? Our heroes end up having to resort to calling for help in one of the first real artistic flexing's of Tim Burton. 

Two of us love this film..... one of us feels quite the opposite!  Join us for this discussion as we unpack those emotions and look forward to finding out how the follow up film holds up to the original. So 'Happy Birthday' Mr. Keaton (born 5 Sep 1951) and good luck on 'Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice' opening 6 Sep 2024.
