Summary

Beetlejuice returns this week! To celebrate, the Halloweenies are unlocking their commentary on Tim Burton's 1988 original that they recorded for its 35th anniversary in 2023. So, take a last-minute summer trip out to Winter River, Connecticut, where the gang debates whether or not this is Burton's best movie, revisit first crushes, gush over Danny Elfman's iconic score, argue whether this is Michael Keaton's performance, and, of course, chew on the sequel that may or may not be a bad idea.
