Ep1031: BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE (2024) - LIVE Round Table Review
If you say "legacy sequel" three times, will it make the new Beetlejuice movie worth talking about?
Earth's Mightiest Critics are about to find out, as they take on Tim Burton's latest return to the lead-water well.
When the Deetz family returns to their haunted house in Winter River, they once again summon the libidinously chaotic "Ghost with the Most" to disastrous effect. But is there enough life left in these oddball characters and off-kilter scenarios to warrant a longer film than the original--or is this just more nostalgia bait with a striped sandworm on the hook?
Join us for a weirdo-conjurin', head-shrinkin', round table review, where we'll talk spoilers and take your questions, comments, and SuperChats!
