00:00You know his look, you know his name, and if you say it three times, he'll show up for
00:17seventeen minutes of a ninety minute film.
00:25A little bit of this goes a long way though.
00:28Beetlejuice.
00:29Journey to the spookiest house in the suburbs, as is Tim Burton tradition.
00:36There lived Adam, a rare Alec Baldwin role that wasn't just Alec Baldwin, and his wife
00:46Barbara, a young Geena Davis who was welcome to haunt me at any time or place of her choosing.
00:54Wood.
00:55When these two lovebirds are murdered by a dog, they'll take the whole being dead thing
01:03in stride, until their house gets haunted by an even more sinister evil, boomers.
01:19Enter the Deeds.
01:20Catherine O'Hara proves she's the funniest actress since Lucille Ball, as Delia, a bored
01:26yuppie filling their home with art that's scarier than the ghosts.
01:41And just trying to relax is her husband Charles, a fictional and real life scumbag, for reasons
01:46you can look up on your own.
01:50But Butt-Tap was not in the script.
01:51He's desperate for a way to turn the paranormal into profit.
01:55Which was actually a pretty savvy plan, considering this movie predates Ghost Hunt, Ghost Hunters
02:01Academy, Ghost Hunters International, Ghost Mind, The Antiques Ghost Show, Celebrity Ghost
02:04Stories, Celebrity Paranormal Project, Erica Kors Ghost Town, Extreme Ghost Stories, Ghost
02:07Adventures, Ghost Avengers Aftershocks, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Lab, Ghost Nation, Ghost Stories,
02:11Ghost Trackers, Ghost Hunting With, Ghostly Encounters, The Girly Ghost Hunters and Great
02:14British Ghost.
02:15Looking for the pale-faced, dark-haired Tim Burton stand-in?
02:24There she is.
02:25Winona Ryder would steal the heart of a generation.
02:28Among other things, as Lydia Dietz, the OG tranquil pixie nightmare girl.
02:34From her iconic stalactite bangs, to her iconic suicidal depression, to her iconic
02:46forced marriage at 15 to a horned-up zombie, it's messed up.
02:55But if you're Gen X, you legally have to idolize this girl.
02:58Thrill at the non-stop stop-motion scares that convince Tim Burton that maybe someone
03:03else should direct his Claymation musical, because this shit is hard.
03:07Eventually, finally, they'll summon Beetlejuice, Michael Keaton's best unhinged maniac but
03:13charming bit that ruled the 80s.
03:18And when the demon bumbler of Deet Street finally appears, he'll instantly become the
03:22worst juice not named Orenthal, committing non-stop sexual harassment, cursing, and
03:49offering to eat a dog.
03:55In a film that was rated PG for pretty good at f***ing up your kids, yeah, the 80s were
04:04a different time.
04:05The worse your hero was, the more likely they were to get a cartoon.
04:09Lose yourself in a spectacular creative death-verse, where the ghost powers are inconsistent.
04:17The rules are made up.
04:22And the points don't matter.
04:26That reimagines the afterlife as the American healthcare system, with the exact same likelihood
04:33of finding a person who can help.
04:40No one can understand what's in the actual plan.
04:46And everyone who's worked in it has at one point wanted to kill themselves.
04:59So enjoy a Tim Burton masterpiece, complete with great jokes, a perfect Danny Elfman score,
05:12and more creativity in one scene than most of the grey CGI-stuffed modern blockbusters
05:17of the last two decades.
05:19Like the ones Tim Burton makes.
05:22Ugh, how are we feeling about the reboot, folks?
05:34His only sequel so far was Batman Returns.
05:35But on the other hand, this…
05:42Starring Beauty Juice, Ghost Writer, S*** Freak, Third Eye for the Straight Guy, The
05:51Wolf of Main Street, Not-So-Smart Alec, Damn, Gina, how you doin', and The Rule of Threes.
06:00You gotta say my name three times.
06:03The only way he can be brought back is by calling his name three times.
06:08Ho, ho, ho!
06:09Wow!
06:11Barbara, how did you do that?
06:13You get only three Class 1-D-90 intercessions with Juno.
06:16How long do you suppose we were waiting there?
06:18Three months.
06:19Knock three times.
06:20Say it once, say it twice, third time's a charm!
06:23Dayo the Dead
06:29Sidney Sweeney, Sidney Sweeney, Sidney Sweeney!
06:32No?
06:33Worth a shot.
06:35Yesterday was Labor Day.
06:38Let's turn on the juice and see what shakes loose.
06:43I order chicken and eggs on Amazon.
06:47I'll let you know which comes first.
06:50Hope you had a brad summer.
