Beetlejuice (1988)
Sep 04, 2024•2 hr 22 min•Ep 298•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
To tie into Tim Burton's new sequel, we're revisiting the 1988 classic Beetlejuice.
Trace has a funny backstory with the film, while Joe barely has a connection to it. We both agree, however, that the film is a creative triumph, with amazing characters and boundless background details that flesh out the world.
Plus: multiple queer elements, the film's obsession with suicide, the animated cartoon and the musical adaptation, and why Delia is *the* best character.
