Today’s movie is Beetlejuice directed by Tim Burton.
Neither of us have any nostalgia for Beetlejuice, which is maybe why we both felt like the film is a huge mess. Nothing that is introduced ever seems to matter, and every attempt to explain anything makes the movie worse. There are probably two reasons this movie had any cultural staying power: Michael Keaton’s performance as Betelgeuse, and Tim Burton’s imaginative visual style.
For our next episode, we’re watching the sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
