I mean, yeah, it's fair, but if they were going to do it, they should have done it like 20 years ago. I agree with you.

Engagement and Horror Bracket Discussion
00:01:23
Speaker
before that, some physical media pickups, uh, I have four.
00:01:29
Speaker
I have two who shall go first. You shall go first. OK, so. The three that I three of the four, I went to go meet my parents last week for ah dinner in Connecticut, middle fucking nowhere. ah But I get there and I were running an hour late and I just happened to find ah Barnes Noble. And yeah, let me tell you this Barnes and Noble was cooking. I mean, really?
00:01:59
Speaker
Minus the they
Physical Media Purchases and Goodwill Finds
00:02:01
Speaker
weren't cooking. They had a lot of criteria. And that's what I meant to say. All right. That was because you text me and I was like, oh, hyperbolic. They didn't have any kind of arrow stuff. They had a criteria on wall. And then they had a number like Best Buy used to have that almost when you walk in, there was the John that had all the steelbooks on it. Yeah, like the new new release section. Yeah, but they were in new releases. So it was just oh, yeah, it was all random shit. Gotcha. All right. So anyways, first pick up.
00:02:28
Speaker
The Jackie Chan criteria on police story one and two. Ooh. Wow. This is fire. This is clean. I'm surprised you found that in the wild. Uh, I was looking at it. I put it back and I picked it up again. It's 50 bucks for two movies. I'm not mad about that criteria. on No, because I have police story one into the shout factory version. I paid 12, but the picture quality on that one's probably going to be way better. I've never seen police story two. So maybe I'll watch the police story two.
00:02:57
Speaker
Uh, disc next one. Uh, I don't think we've talked. Well, we didn't mention the rhyme in this episode. I, I'm collecting all the studio Ghibli steel books. If you follow me out on letterbox, maybe you figured this out, but I did find in the wild, the only yesterday Ghibli steel, nice, you go nice shade of pink really breaks up that color palette. I got going on over there. If I, if I said it before, I'll say it again.
00:03:22
Speaker
My Ghibli steals are organized in order release. So only yesterday, uh, it's, it's pretty good. It's basically this lady who's reminiscing on her childhood. And then, uh, she falls in love with the farmer, which is whatever. Uh, I enjoyed it. ah Did you fall in love with him only yesterday?
00:03:45
Speaker
only yesterday. Uh, no, but I'm going to say yes to go with the, with the, the joke. Okay. And then lastly, I didn't know this
Horror Bracket Matchups: Favorites and Predictions
00:03:53
Speaker
was a thing. I didn't know they released this, but I saw it and immediately bought it. I got a for $26, which is what I texted you. I got a collateral 4k steelbook. Wow. Look at that. With the digi Blu-ray included. I don't like when steelbooks do this, by the way, I just want to say this out loud. Uh,
00:04:14
Speaker
A quote on the back. No, put artwork. Who's going to look at the back? I am, but put artwork. Okay. Was that on the wall? Yeah. yeah Okay. ah front i mean The front looks cool. I like the front. so ah Those three were from Barnes and Noble. and Then we mentioned it on an episode you guys haven't heard yet because ah of timing.
00:04:40
Speaker
But in our worlds, last week we were talking about a little movie called Wolf Creek. Yes. I watched it on Amazon Prime. It's streaming right now. And enjoyed it. And I bought it. Yeah, there you go. This was also on the wall. OK, nice. You have or haven't seen it, I remember. I haven't. It is. It is. It's good.
00:05:06
Speaker
I enjoyed it. There are some pretty bad character decision slash writing towards the second half of the movie. ah But overall, I really enjoyed it. OK, and I it's gory, right, you said? Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, you'll get your gore fix. It's up my alley. It's up our alley, I would say. I would say we put Wolf Creek on the bracket next year. Damn, really? Not as a lock.
00:05:35
Speaker
To like, definitely review, but at least, uh, at least in the bracket little competition. Okay. I might have to watch it during spooky season. Okay. Uh, what are your media halls looking like? Uh, so I don't have them with me because they're irrelevant. Uh, but sitting on my shelf. Uh, but I went to Goodwill.
00:05:58
Speaker
And if you are in a physical media, you people need to start going to Goodwill because they can have some sleepers. Not that these were like crazy finds or anything, but the price was right. So they didn't really have any Blu-rays that I was interested in. So I was just skimming through the DVD section. Just, you know, maybe you'll find some, yeah, exactly. Maybe you'll find some like obscure horror thing. It's kind of what I'm looking for. And I saw a little 4k logo.
00:06:28
Speaker
and go well and go well so i picked it up it was shazam i mean w yeah i was like oh it's gonna be you know like nine
Beetlejuice 2 Cast and First Impressions
00:06:41
Speaker
dollars i don't like that movie enough um but i flipped it around and they had it labeled as a dvd for a dollar ninety nine and when you brought it to the register they weren't like oh he fucked up they just gave it to them correct yeah that's a win So I'm like, well, fuck it. I'm gonna pick this up. I checked it, made sure all the disks were in there. Everything, everything was good. So I was skimming a little further down the lane and Batman versus Superman 4k was there. Pick that up. Same price. I'm like, fuck it. I'm gonna get that too. So I got Shazam and Batman versus Superman 4k for a grand total of $4. I mean, that's a win. That is a win.
00:07:26
Speaker
$1.99 is what I would have rather paid for that Batman V Superman movie. There you go. I don't hate it as much as I used to, but it's still not great. Yeah. I mean, I didn't need them. I had the Blu-rays, which are just fine, but for $1.99, I was Shazam. Yeah. I mean, I wasn't going to pass up a $2.00 4K, you know? Shazam is a movie that I think if I watched that ah when I had letterbox, you and I, I think walked out like actually liking it.
00:07:55
Speaker
Yeah, I think I would have gave like a four star like back then now. I don't know. I'd probably give it a two and a half. Yeah. Uh, that's, that's cool. And they're good. They're good steels. I kind of paid a little bit extra on my John's cause it was Barnes and Noble and they're always overpriced, but the Ghibli deals I'll pay whatever. Yeah. What was it like 25 probably? Yeah. Yeah. 24 99. You nailed it. Uh, Wolf Creek. What are those 22?
00:08:24
Speaker
22, yeah. And then collateral was 26, as I said, and Jackie Chan was 50. But it's two films on criteria. I'm not mad. Not at all. Shall we get into the horror bracket? Very excited. Stop edging me. um So um we'll post the results of the first round online. I'm actually not sure if I was going to show you this when you go to vote for the second round. um But we started with 16 films. Uh, and we do have one tie that we're going to have to discuss and break. I think it's not going to be much of a discussion because I think we're both going to have the same line of thinking. We'll save that one for the end. Okay.
In-depth Beetlejuice 2 Analysis
00:09:02
Speaker
Here we go. The first matchup we'll get into. We got, Oh, by the way, is there any one movie in particular you're rooting for to win the whole thing? Yeah. Yes. Which one would that be?
00:09:19
Speaker
Long legs. Okay. I would say my vote is either the descent or the evil dead 2013 remake. Uh, first matchup is Oculus and evil dead 2013 evil dead 2013 one eight to six. Okay. So that is moving on the next matchup and the winner of this goes on to face evil dead in the next round.
00:09:48
Speaker
Long Legs and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre ah remake from 2003. I think it'd be more fun to ask you, who do you think won?
00:10:03
Speaker
I'm gonna say Long Legs won. Long Legs did win, yeah. Okay, by how much? ah Eight to six. Damn, okay. There's there's only there's only one There's two pretty big blowouts, ah which we'll get into. So and long long legs versus evil dead is going to be crazy. I'm voting for evil dead. Sorry, man. That's I want it. Yeah. No, that's fine. I just really want to I just really want to rewatch long legs. Not that I can't just do it, but yeah, the quarterfinals will be evil dead 2013 versus long legs. That'll be interesting. ah We just want to.
00:10:45
Speaker
Not we. I want to thank our fans because they are actual podcast listeners. I
Supernatural Beliefs and Personal Ghost Stories
00:10:51
Speaker
know these aren't random. These people who have listened because the next round was Henry portrait of a serial killer versus motel. Hell, this was a fucking watch. Okay. What was it? Uh, portraits, you occur one 10 to four. Damn. Yeah. So we've recommended that film and everybody. Yeah. So respect to you guys. It's also on prime. Really? Yeah.
00:11:15
Speaker
or might, um, yeah. Even if we don't, even if it doesn't win, uh, we're going to review it at some point. Yeah, for sure. And I'm fully expecting myself to order the 4k import. I want to do that too. I don't want to do that. All right. So the winner of hen, uh, the next bracket will face Henry portrait with serial killer. We have possessor and the strangers. It's also like the listeners know.
00:11:44
Speaker
want to hear they want to hear us debate because this was the. Actually, the biggest blowout tied for first is the biggest blowout. The strangers won 12 to two, Dan, and I know I was one of the two votes for possessor. I was one of the 12 for strangers, but to be fair, um I feel like a lot of people probably don't know what possessor is now. And it's a shame.
00:12:14
Speaker
I think it's also a little misunderstood. As far as like what it's going for and what your expectation is going into it. Yeah. So that would leave, so Henry portrait of Silker versus strangers in the next round. That's going to be crazy. When I put these in, I just did the, uh, for the listener, I.
00:12:34
Speaker
gave them all rankings, like a seed number. And like, so the number one seed was, uh, I saw the devil because it has the highest average rating on letterbox. That's how I did it. So that's a good way to go about it. Yeah. So strangers verse, Henry portrait of circular. We'll find out next week who who's won that find out on the next episode of two guys, one screen.
00:13:02
Speaker
Next matchup saw versus VHS. Who do you think won this one? I feel like it's going to be close. Yeah, the next two are close. so And I'm going to say saw won. Saw did win eight to six. Okay.
00:13:18
Speaker
ah And then Saul will go on the face, the winner of this bracket, the descent and the purge. Now the purge, I bought on physical media and I'd been waiting to watch in case the purge went all the way. And the descent you've never seen. Correct. Who do you think won? Descent. Yes, because our listeners listened. I told them to vote for the descent. Hey man, who you sucking off to get all these votes, all right? I voted for the descent and I will be voting for the descent again and you should too because you just watched Saw with your fiance which, and if you're listening, fuck you. Wow. How do you not like Saw?
00:14:03
Speaker
I don't know, man. She didn't like the, they glory it's ridiculous that she doesn't like that movie. I'm just kidding. But also it's ridiculous that you didn't like that movie. So Saul versus the descent. Saul is one of my all time favorite. The first one is all one of my all time favorites, but I really want you to watch the descent. So for in this context, I'm voting for the descent. Okay. And all the listeners should vote for the descent. Uh, tied for the first biggest wash.
00:14:30
Speaker
Lake Placid and the whaling. I'm just gonna let you, but who do you think won? Lake Placid. By a fucking mile. Our listeners are America, baby. Yeah, they don't give a fuck about you. Nope, Lake Placid, the whaling, 12 to two. ah And our last one is, this is the tiebreaker we have to break. And I think it's gonna be relatively easy to do, but okay we'll talk about it. Cabin fever and I saw the devil at seven each.
00:15:00
Speaker
Which we couldn't get a 15th person to fucking vote. Come on, people. What are you doing? Yeah. No, it's all good. That makes it more exciting. So my... I'm of the opinion, we've both watched Cabin Fever. I think you've seen it more than once. Yeah. You've never seen I Saw the Devil. Never, ever. The whaling did not make it in as a foreign entry, and I think we need to diversify. Okay.
00:15:27
Speaker
ah So my personal vote would be to push on I saw the devil plus it's a way better movie Okay, I'm down yeah, I figured it'd be that I mean yeah Is ice I mean I think I saw the devil is gonna get smoked by Lake Placid to be fair Do you know that though? I well mean if our listeners aren't voting for foreign films If that's the trend then yes, but no you we don't know that's true. We have no idea Um, all right. So I'm going to push on. I saw the devil. Get pushed like a dick in your ass. Yeah. Um, what do I do? What are you doing? What are you doing? So that will leave. I saw the devil to face Lake Placid in the next round in the quarterfinals. so Do you like murder or alligators? Dude, it's it's it's like torture.
00:16:24
Speaker
Oh, vote for that one. It's kind of torture. I mean, is this guy getting the shit beat out of him for a while? Vote for that one. So again, the quarterfinals, which are open right now, as we're speaking, they're open. Whoa. It's open. OK. Whoa. Right after this, got to post about it. Right. ah Long legs versus evil dead. The strangers versus Henry Porchevice, you're a killer. And then those two winners will face each other. So you could potentially have like,
00:16:51
Speaker
Evil dead versus the strangers or long legs versus Henry pork. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You got the descent and saw another interesting matchup. I saw the devil and Lake Placid. Those are your your final eight. ah Thank you to everyone that voted and vote in the next. Appreciate it. It's fun. I'm already having some hesitancy with who with who I'm going to vote for.
00:17:17
Speaker
Actually, I guess I'm not. That's a lie. I cut that. I know exactly what we vote for. Uh, yeah. And then again, the winner will be reviewed on the pod. Absolutely. Shall we get into Beel juice? Beel juice. Shall we get into mid mid? All right. good So I was able to watch the first one again before seeing this one, which was nice.
00:17:48
Speaker
And, uh, I went to Alamo draft house, shout out to him for the viewing. And before the movie, they don't show a lot, they show a movie trailer, but like, when you're like sitting there, they, they play like other shit. And they were given like the lore background of the character of like, belejuice that's interesting. like There's so much to him. And he's so interesting in, in both movies, which might be a hot take, but like in this new one and the OG, maybe there's not enough.
00:18:17
Speaker
Is that crazy? Yeah. Or just enough Beetlejuice. There's definitely not enough Beetlejuice, but I did see in an interview, Michael Keaton said that he wanted to be on screen the same amount of time as he was in the original. Right. I did see that. Yeah. Which makes sense. Right. Uh, cause I think if he was in it more, I mean,
00:18:43
Speaker
more than he was, but to a point, people would start calling it a cash crab, which it already is a cash crab, but. Yeah. And honestly, he wasn't even like my favorite character. No. In this movie. No. No, that's interesting. Yeah. I've seen it twice, which. I had to go again because I didn't have wasn't able to take notes the first time. um And the first time I came out of it and I.
00:19:13
Speaker
Really enjoyed it. I mean, it's fun. It definitely has its issues. I had fun with it, but the second time around the the issues kind of are more apparent. Yeah, I walked out of it very entertained. Um, I wasn't, I feel like I had my expectations absolutely to the ground. I had no hope. Yeah. So I enjoyed it. I had fun.
00:19:42
Speaker
In my opinion, I think it's a little funnier than the OG. Really? I didn't find it funny at all. At all. No, like towards the end, some of it was funny, but I found most of this not funny. Wow. Okay. Now I see a lot of people debating online. They're saying it's not very Tim Burton. What? Right. I think this is Tim Burton to a T. I saw a review. for you I think it was on Instagram threads.
00:20:12
Speaker
Where this person said, I walked out after 30 minutes because it wasn't timber and esque. Yeah. So we'll go over the cast. So obviously timber and directed this, uh, shout out to Danny Elfman. That means a legend. I love his music. know His soundtracks are so great. I mean, he just puts out banger after banger. Is it fair to say he's almost underrated or underrated? Okay. Oh, underrated for sure.
00:20:43
Speaker
Everyone's like, you know, Hans Zimmer, who's great. Hans Zimmer's amazing, but, uh, you know, the Hans Zimmer's of the world. And I feel like he gets forgotten. Also, I figured he'd be like really old by now. I guess he's, he's still cooking. I mean, he's probably old as fuck, but if Tim Burton's like, Hey, you want to make Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice? He's like, absolutely. I want that. I want that check. I want that check.
00:21:05
Speaker
Alright, we'll go over the cast. So as we said ah Michael Keaton reprises his role as Beetlejuice which What's the deal with the different types of spelling of his name? Like Beetlegeist and Beetlejuice. Yeah, what's up with that? I don't know. Is it like Latin or some shit? I don't know. we don't You don't know. I'm just curious demon words Winona Ryder plays Lydia Dietz ah Jenna Ortega plays Astra Deets her daughter Catherine O'Hara plays Delia Deets her Lydia's mother Justin Thoreau plays Rory Are you going to me like this character because I found him fucking obnoxious It was the point but I fucking hated him. Okay, good. You know fuck himself Monica Baluchi plays Dolores Arthur Conti plays Jeremy Willem Dafoe plays Wolf Jackson
00:22:02
Speaker
Who might be the best character in the movie? Might be. I enjoyed him. I was just kind of like, what what are you doing here? Maybe he's like, oh, I missed out on the first one. I want to do this one. I just kind of like Willem Dafoe and like, yeah, he's great. Stupid roles. You know, his like makeup was crazy. Yeah, he can do it all. He really can. He really can. I mean, he was literally Jesus Christ. That's. Yeah.
00:22:31
Speaker
ah
00:22:34
Speaker
And I'll read Amy Natal is Jane Butterfield and I don't want to reveal a spoiler. So we'll just get to it and get to it. Again, we are going to spoil the fuck out of this movie. So if you haven't seen it, go see it and come back. Or if you want to hear us talk about it, you can hear us talk about it. Ain't missing much. So damn, I wonder how low you are on this. Uh, try not as low as you would expect.
00:23:02
Speaker
No. So Beetlejuice, uh, the credits are the, you hear the iconic Danny Elfman score. I mean, this is like when it's like all black and it's just like the names popping up and then you get the. What do you want to call it? Pan over the town or it kind of at the end, it turns into the model, but right at this point, you're like hype. Yeah. This is sweet. Did you notice that Brad Pitt produced this? Yeah.
00:23:30
Speaker
I was like, what the fuck is this? Why is Brad Pitt doing something like this? I don't know, dude. I was hoping for a cameo, honestly. Me too. But we got a cameo that I think is fair. True.
00:23:44
Speaker
So the pan the pan that you know, it takes its time when the opening credits going over the the town of ah Winter River. And then we end with Winona Winona is not her name in the movie. Her name is Lydia in the movie. I've written Winona like several times. So I love Winona Ryder, though. Alamo had. A montage and it was called Why We Love Winona, and it was just like chronicling like all her big roles. And it was just the end of the end of like, we love you, Winona Ryder. It was nice. Yeah. And underrated. Definitely underrated, dude.
00:24:20
Speaker
She was great in this movie. She, she like jumped right back into the character. I saw some reviews saying she was phoning it in. You think so? I didn't think so. No, I don't think so, but I did see reviews saying that. Um, Lydia Deets is now hosting a TV show called Ghost House. That's what she's been doing with her time. It gives like, it gives big like ghost adventure vibes. Right. You see ghost adventures? No.
00:24:51
Speaker
No, we've been over this. I was watching multiplication rap. Yeah, yeah yeah that's fair. um So she's hosting the show. She has Emmett and Jodie Welsh and their dog Taco and their house is being haunted or whatever. I did not like this at all because Uh, Lydia's like, let's cut to the footage and the door, and they go to the the footage and she walks into this kitchen and like all the doors are opening and closing. The cabinets are going crazy and whatever. And she's like, Oh, I feel like, Oh, the dog is on the fan. like see around She goes, Oh, I feel a dark presence. We must get out of here now. Like, yeah, duh. Anybody in your kitchen was doing that. You think it's a positive thing?
00:25:40
Speaker
Yeah, but that's the whole like parody of this scene. It's mocking like those ghost hunting shows because they say all that dumb shit. Do they really? Yeah. They're like, oh, man, I feel something here. Are you with us right now? It's yeah, I don't. OK, that's fair. I didn't know that because they were watching his ghost shows. so Yeah, it also kind of gave like paranormal activity vibes, which I have to watch. You should.
00:26:07
Speaker
ah So she's talking to them and then she thinks she sees Beetlejuice. Apparently she's traumatized from the events of the first film. Big PTSD moments. Uh, but it's just some fat guy in a striped shirt and he's just kind of like her.
00:26:23
Speaker
ah Uh, and then her, I wrote producer, but he's her manager. Rory pulls her off the set and they go and she runs off into the bathroom because she's having like a full blown panic attack. And.
00:26:39
Speaker
and We follow Lydia into the bathroom and there's a lady off to the left at the sink doing her makeup, I guess. And then she turns towards Lydia and she has what's through her head. She's a ghost. She's dead. Yeah. Was it in her face? Yeah, was it? a No, it wasn't the wine cork. That's later. That's the yeah.
00:27:03
Speaker
I don't know what it is, but anyways, we know that Lydia can see ghosts. Ghosts. And she goes to, well, we knew that from the first film, but anyways, she goes to Pops and Pills. she never said They never tell you what pills they are, they're just pills. And Rory comes in, rude, it's the woman's room, stay out. Yeah, freak. And she turns around and hides the pills behind her back and he says some real cuck shit here. I don't like our hearts are one or I don't fucking remember what he says, but I did not like. I mean, his character is intentionally obnoxious and he really gets the job done being annoying. I hated him. Yeah. And they're talking and her back is to the sink and she drops the pills into the sink on accident and he hears it.
00:27:51
Speaker
And, uh, he goes to dump them in the trash and she's like, come on, let me just get one to get through the show. And then he goes and he pulls out, by the way, I just want to say this, all the intentionally funny moments in this movie that I didn't find funny, my audience was cracking up. Like I had really loud. Like responses to like a lot of these scenes. So to die, but I was also involved in the laughing. Oh, so like, did you find this funny? This part? No. Okay. Um,
00:28:20
Speaker
Oh, and they start making out. So you find out they're like having a thing or whatever. Yeah, my exact notes are they fucking. They fucking. Question mark? No, they fucking. They fucking fucking. ah They're interrupted by a phone call from Lydia's mother, Delia, who Rory has Lydia's phone in his pocket. And it cuts to Delia, who's an artist, and she's obnoxious. I think intentionally, again, I think it's satire.
00:28:49
Speaker
Well, she was obnoxious in the OG movie too. No, I'm just saying, well, yes, but also like the whole thing with her art canvas. Yeah. I think that's all intentional satire as well. Sure. See Delia is actually my favorite character in this movie. Oh, okay. I did not, I did not care for her. It's like her, she, she completely did like a,
00:29:15
Speaker
180 on me because I hated her in the original movie as you're supposed to and Then I feel like she's besides Beetlejuice. I feel like she's kind of like the comic relief Yeah, I mean this scene was kind of funny the way like Once, you know, she calls, uh, Lydia and Lydia comes to the art exhibit, whatever. And she's like using the human canvas as art now. And this whole conversation of, uh, she's crying and. You know what happened? She says, your father left me and Lydia's like, you're getting a divorce. She's like, no, why would you think that? That was, it was funny. Uh, and she goes, no, he's dead.
00:29:56
Speaker
um And I'm guessing I didn't do the research beforehand. The actor that played ah Charles in the first film either passed away or didn't want to do this movie. Yeah, but was it his voice or no? Jeffrey Jones. ah He's not dead, it says. Maybe they just couldn't get him. Ain't no way. He was a Stuart Little.
00:30:25
Speaker
Shout him out. um Yeah, I just thought it was curious that they, because this whole scene, you know, she's telling, Delia's telling the story about how Charles died. And when she's telling the story, it's like all, ah what is it? Like claymation? What do you even call that medium?
00:30:51
Speaker
Shitty CGI trying to portray ah motion yeah, it's a weird-looking medium for sure and Anyways, he's not in it. It's a it's a you know a CGI thing he's so he was on a plane coming back from watching birds as Delia says fuck and The plane crashes, but he in and and so Lydia's like oh he died in the plane crash And she was like no he he made it out. He was floating on a wing They got eaten by a shark
00:31:26
Speaker
That's how he died. By the way, we'll get to it, but his. Practical effects in the afterlife. I loved it. Great. Yeah. Really good. See, that's one thing that I was really worried about. Uh, with all the trailers, I really thought they were going to lead lean heavily into CGI, but a good chunk of this was practical effects. There are some practical effects here that bother me or that, or not practical effects, uh, some CGI that bothers me. Okay. We'll get into it. We will. Um,
00:31:58
Speaker
And, you know, in the background, Delia has this artist from France or wherever the fuck he's from doing some kind of artwork. He's pissed that the exhibits canceled because her husband just died. I don't get why he's pissed, but whatever. yeah like Fuck off, dude. Yeah. And he says some bullshit to her. And we follow him out the door of the exhibit and he falls down a sinkhole, not a sinkhole, a pothole. Nope. None of the words. A john. Yeah. A manhole.
00:32:28
Speaker
And, uh, he dies. So he ends up in the afterlife bro falls into juice world. Literally. Yeah, that's actually pretty good. Juice world. All right. Uh, and we see the, this hallway, which is kind of iconic. I mean, the, the waiting room is iconic, but like that hall with the weird doors is kind of iconic a little bit. Uh, and he asked this short little stubby man who we only see in the back. I was really hoping it was Danny DeVito.
00:32:56
Speaker
I think we were all thanking it. Like is that you know yeah spoiler alert is, ah um, and he directs them to go forward, like two doors to the right. Someone will help you eventually. That's another iconic, you know, we'll help you eventually. Uh, we follow this character into like a chemical closet where he's literally drinking chemicals. Um, and.
00:33:20
Speaker
The face reveal is that it's Danny DeVito. Nice little cameo. That's the big spoiler cameo of this movie. Uh, I appreciated it. I didn't hate it. Yeah. And, uh, I don't know. You tell me I've watched this twice and I still know really what happened. He's cleaning the floor in that room. Yeah. Does Dolores send the shock or does he electrocute himself and that awakens Dolores? Yeah. So he's using like a floor cleaner, right? And there's a giant puddle of water on the floor.
00:33:49
Speaker
So as he pushes the floor cleaner across the water, it sends out electrical shocks.
00:33:59
Speaker
Is that how that works? I don't know. I'm yeah ah in real life. It sounds right. In real life, it doesn't happen like that because I've used a floor. I've used a floor. Yeah, I've used a floor cleaner before. I don't fucking know how this shit works. We're in juice world, bro. Let it happen.
00:34:17
Speaker
And these body parts start crawling out. And this is my issue with the CGI. CGI here was AIDS. Terrible. Very bad. And we watch Monica Baluchi's character Dolores staple herself together. This is big, ah Nightmare Before Christmas vibes. Oh, yeah, like Sally. Yeah. Yeah. ah But they could have really gone harder with this. But when like she's putting her leg and her thigh together, it's like, or attaching her limbs, it looks pretty bad.
00:34:46
Speaker
Yeah. um This whole. Dolores plot. Really fucking sucked. It had no purpose besides maybe getting more runtime. The only thing I think of with this Dolores character is they needed. um Something for the end.
00:35:16
Speaker
That's all. i yeah I don't really know. They didn't really explore her character that much. I mean, they kind of do. And I didn't find it interesting. Well, I couldn't fucking keep up with her backstory, but I've seen it twice, so I i know, but it's just not really interesting. Yeah. um And she the videos like the video is fucking electrocuted. Like it's like sent flying. He wakes up. He goes, Hey, to you can't be yeah in here. ah And David is just he's a gem. I mean, he's amazing. 100 percent.
00:35:47
Speaker
um and and Dolores grabs him by the throat and asks him, by the way, my notes for Beeljuice are just BJ, so. Oh, I have juice. Yeah, she asks him where Beeljuice is and she sucks him off. Nope, doesn't suck him off, but she does suck the soul out of his body, we come to find out. Yeah, it becomes like a little shriveled up, like it literally looks like the costume just fell, like the mask. It looks like if you deflated a balloon. oh um Yeah.
00:36:18
Speaker
We cut to Astrid, played by Jenna Ortega. Get it? She's walking through her college, school, whatever, and her mom is spamming her phone, obviously, because Astrid's grandfather just died. And then again, let's get some real bullying going on. This is not real. Now this was in the trailer, and this is when I knew we're in for a rough time. um Funny enough, I didn't watch the trailer.
00:36:45
Speaker
OK, the classmates that she has prank her with they open. She opens her door and a ghost like flops down. And this is like really dumb shit. And she turns to the girls that did it. And there's a girl that has like braces and she's like skinny and like pale. Like, how are you not getting bullied? It was Jenna Ortega getting bullied. Literally, you're like, the I get it. Maybe because like, you know. She's like the goth kid. Yeah. But can we get some real bullying in this movie?
00:37:15
Speaker
Yeah. Any movie. Any movie. we're We're out on this. And like bullying, like, can we just like start jumping kids? You know, like... Jumping kids? Yeah. Like that like bullying. Like, give me your water. No, like... No, like getting beat up. Like some three on one type shit. Like just kick them to the ground, start beating the fuck out of them, run away. Like I spit on your grave vibes? No. No. I don't want any kids getting raped. No.
00:37:45
Speaker
So she says some slick line of them. She closes her door, like slams it, and she knocks over a picture that the frame showers of her and her dad. and It's like way too long of the camera staring at this photo. ah We cut to Lydia, Delia, and Rory driving to get Astrid. And Delia's like, there's no real man in the family because Rory's not a man. He's a fucking pussy.
00:38:14
Speaker
Yeah, he's a big pussy dude. ah
00:38:19
Speaker
And this is where we learned that Delia wants to have the funeral for Charles at the the house, the iconic house in Rinter River. And they're going to because Charles bought the house without telling her they're going to clear the house out and sell it. Fair. ah And.
00:38:41
Speaker
We cut to back to Astrid, who's in her room and she hears Delia yelling for her out the window. This is embarrassing. I would hate myself, hate my mom, hate myself. Probably jump out the window. Yeah. And Delia is breaking down crying because her husband, her horny handyman, she says died. That got a huge loss. I laughed at that. I didn't. I'm sorry. It didn't hit for me.
00:39:09
Speaker
um This is so Delia, Lydia and Astra sitting down and Delia wants to turn the house into a grief exhibit. Again, this is just satire. And after like, I can't I got to go to do this environmental exhibit tree hugger thing.
00:39:28
Speaker
Uh, and Lydia cleared Astrid to go like to take the time off already. She talked to the principal or whatever. And Astrid, she's pretty sassy in this movie. Has some good one liners, I think. And, uh.
00:39:41
Speaker
She's like, Yeah, I guess when you donate a whole art exhibit, you can do that. um And essentially the beef between Astrid and Lydia is Astrid doesn't like resents her because she spent all her time doing this ghost thing and she feels like she's been neglected. Also, Astrid just doesn't believe in ghosts. Right. Thinks it's fugazi. Fugazi. You believe in ghosts? Not really.
00:40:10
Speaker
I'm not out, i could like you, I could be convinced. Like you said about Sasquatch last week. You just fart? No, my finger, it's the, oh I didn't fart, we're gonna leave that in. I believe in ghosts. I have, I've heard stories about ghosts from like my immediate fan members too, like that, you know, I should believe them.
00:40:39
Speaker
I've just never had an experience that I've been like, yeah, they're real. I'm not saying they're not. I just, right. I'm indifferent. Once you get your first experience, you'll believe you have an experience. I do. What is it? So after my grandpa died, uh, my grandma would babysit me, uh, every day while my parents were at work and my grandma went into the bathroom. She's like, I'll be right back. I'm like, all right. So like I looked down at my game boy.
00:41:10
Speaker
And then I looked back up at the the bathroom door when she closed it and I deadass saw my grandpa standing like in the doorway. That's pretty crazy. It is crazy. Yeah. So like I looked like down again. Yeah. And when I looked back up, he was gone. on And when my grandma came out, I asked her and she was like, Oh yeah, I see him all the time. You're just making, making sure we're all right. Oh really? Yeah.
00:41:39
Speaker
Oh, that's kind of crazy. Yeah. The only thing I've heard about was my parents told me when my grandfather died, like they were all around his bedside in the hospital. And that when he died, there was a weird gust of wind that went outwards, like out the window and like the window slammed shut. Yeah, it's not normal. Yeah. So I haven't witnessed anything, but again, I'm open. You know what I mean? I can be convinced. I hope you get your moment.
00:42:06
Speaker
No, I don't want to be haunted by a ghost. I don't think we don't have to be haunted, but it's a real eye opening experience, I feel. Your third eye, open it. A spread them cheeks. Oh, whoa, wait. I think for this movie, we're OK. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. ah So they're talking and Lydia thinks she sees Beetlejuice again. And he's a crowded kid. This guy dressed up. He kind of looks like Beetlejuice a little bit. A little bit. What the whole cat he has.
00:42:34
Speaker
This is a complaint I saw online of like, why is Lydia so traumatized from this? People don't think it's like there's a it's not there's enough there for her to be traumatized. But I mean, Fadim was trying to marry me and fuck me. I'd be a little traumatized. Right. Especially when you're a kid. Yeah, that's a little concerning.
00:42:54
Speaker
Then so she freaks out and we cut to the it's like a pan over the model again and it zooms in to like where It goes right by the bridge where the where Alec Baldwin and Gina Davis crashed. Right. Their car. I'd rather a character name, I'm sorry. um And you end up at Beale Juice's desk. And he has a picture of ol Lydia as a kid, a little weird, ah on his desk. And he's talking to Bob. What do you call these things? I call them the shrunken head guys. Yeah, I call them all Bobs, I think. I know they all have different names, but. Bro.
00:43:32
Speaker
I take it back. Delia isn't the best character. It's Bob. Bob got done dirty in this movie. I feel bad for him. Well, I I've I've. Just verbally. I've I was verbally upset. Yeah.
00:43:48
Speaker
um And Bill just telling Lydia that Bill just telling Bob that him and Lydia have a long distance relationship.
00:43:59
Speaker
and that little weird male thing that you do at like banks comes down, it's like a shoot, and he he's ah needed upstairs. So we cut to the male room, male room, the waiting room, the iconic waiting room, where there's a guy who's in there, he's eating too many hot dogs. That deck guy was fuddy. Fucking mouth is full, there's the, I don't know when he shows up, but the the fucking charred Santa Claus,
00:44:28
Speaker
Yeah, that was funny. And it got stuck in that box with like water. Oh, yeah, like the escape act artist. Yeah. And we follow the artist who died in the manhole thing from before. And he's like, I need he's like, I need to be helped. And again, they're just, you know, fanservice a little bit. They're like, yeah, take a number. We can't help you. And we cut to to Willem Dafoe's character, Wolf Jackson.
00:44:57
Speaker
who was, he was an actor as a cop and now in the afterlife he is a cop. Right. Well, I couldn't tell. Is he an actual cop or is he just reliving his life? I think he has some kind of authority because at the end he does arrest. He brings Beale Juice back to the afterlife.
00:45:17
Speaker
Uh, but his name in the movies was Frank hard baller. And, uh, he's questioning bill juice about, uh, Dolores. I wrote stapled chick because we don't know her name yet. Yeah. And bill juice, his eyes and his tongue pop out. this This would look good. Does it look bad? No, that's good CGI.
00:45:37
Speaker
um And build you sit some into the tune of like oh, she can't kill me cuz I'm dead and wolves like now She's a soul sucker. He'll be dead dead um We cut to Charles's funeral this is I didn't like this at all I might lower my rating after this full review, I don't know. Why are they singing Deo ah while he's getting buried? It did not fit. Fan service? Yeah, I didn't like it. I really didn't like it. I mean, the song is beautiful, but like, it didn't work. Did you peep his gravestone? That was next thing I was going to say, yeah, it was a shark fin. Shark fin, that was dope as shit. ah what was this It looked like it was an ice sculpture. What the fuck was that? Just crystal? Yeah, it like bull beloved. um
00:46:26
Speaker
So Charles Deet's beloved father and bird watcher. Which is what he was. So the service ends and the priest, he just, this was, I actually did find this kind of amusing. He just like talks like these big like Bible words and it's just like all gibberish. Delia goes, what? Like what are you even saying? What are you saying dude? ah We follow Astrid and Lydia. They're talking on a bench and essentially It's what I said before. Astra doesn't like her because she's spending all this time doing her show, not paying attention to her. And she thinks it's bullshit that Lydia can't see her father, Lydia's husband, who passed away. But she can see all her ghosts for her bull... She calls it her bullshit show. And Lydia tells Astra that there... Lydia's relationship with her father was already in turmoil before the accident they're calling it. ah And Astra storms off.
00:47:26
Speaker
We cut to Charles in the afterlife and again, his head's gone and his little his little like. Breathing to is not that's not your is it in a or it's not an a or to cut that your a little urethra. No, it's not your. If I was gushing that much blood in my urethria to be a little good news, dude, trachea blood trachea. That might be it. We're not drinking. Yeah, we don't know. I mean,
00:47:54
Speaker
No. Well, a whole thing. Right. And it's shooting blood. But his head is like gone and his shoulders are like it's like a you like a shark bit his head off. Yeah, it was cool. I get it. Practical effects are great. And every time he talks, like blood would squirt out a little sounds gurgled. It sounds. Yeah, they did a good job with this.
00:48:14
Speaker
ah He's walked into a dry cleaning place and the guy's like, nah, you're in the wrong spot, homie. What was he looking for? Uh, I can't remember. Okay. Well in the wrong spot, pal. And the Laura shows up. It's not a jump scare, but like she's like behind like the wall of clothes and she just sucks this guy off. Yeah. A lot of sucking. And then she grabs this white wedding looking dress and turns it black. Okay. Edgy. Yeah.
00:48:51
Speaker
Uh, we cut to Beetlejuice in his office telling Bob that his ex wife is back and they, tell he tells the story and it cuts to like a black and white in a foreign language, which what was the point of this. I don't know. No, Beetlejuice was just, what language was he speaking? I don't know. But there's subtitles. So you have to read. Yeah. You're a big subtitle guy though. I am a big subtitle guy. Yeah. I love a subtitle. Uh,
00:49:20
Speaker
Basically, during the plague, he was a grave robber and him and Dolores met in his love at first sight. And they have some wild ass fucking. Oh, yeah. ah When they got married, they drank each other's blood. They both eat a chicken head and they sacrificed a goat.
00:49:38
Speaker
Matt he tells us that she was a part of a death cult and that he She tried to poison him. Mm-hmm, which how do you not? I don't know It was kind of funny, but also kind of like how you don't see that biologist has poison on it And then I guess he kills her with an axe That's what you're led to believe. Yeah. Yeah
00:49:58
Speaker
Uh, and Bob's like freaked out cause like he acts as a little thing on Bob's desk. for pop Poor Bob. Poor Bob. I've done dirty in this movie. Justice for Bob. but Start the movement. That's our emergency. Hashtag justice for Bob. Oh, fuck you. I'm down. Uh, we cut to the funeral. They have a drape over the entire house. It's a dread drape. I don't like it. why How did I do that? Helicopters? No. I mean, sure, but no.
00:50:27
Speaker
Now, hey, Autumn asked me the same thing. She leaned over and she's like, how do they put that on the house? No fucking way, man. Fuck you, Mark. the We're inside the house, and Rory and Astrid are standing by like the food refreshments. And he tries to like level with Astrid, but he pokes from the forehead. He's got a lot of emotions going on in there, and he pokes her in the head. If you poke me in the forehead, we're fighting.
00:50:53
Speaker
Oh, square up, dog. You're getting dropped. This this whole segment was cringe. I didn't write down anything he said, but I just wrote cringe dialogue because I couldn't give two fucks. No. The only thing i I found funny was he was trying to like be there to help her process her emotions, and she just just like burps in his face and just like process that. She's a little shit. Yeah.
00:51:20
Speaker
And he says that he wrote a poem for Charles on the Way here. And she's like, yeah, say it. And he doesn't know because he's full of shit. And Astrid says that, ah you know, she sees right through him and that he's broken like her mother and delusional and he's just using ah Lydia to exploit her and make money. It's fair. This next part, we cut to the porch where Delia is and she's talking to Jane Butterfield, who I guess she was in the first one.
00:51:48
Speaker
Yeah, this character at least was pretty real estate agent. She doesn't have much use to move besides later. um And Astrid, they're all talking and Astrid again is like, you know, ghosts aren't real unless you're trying to pay the bills, right, mom? That shit hit. Yeah, that was fucking wild.
00:52:08
Speaker
ah Then this whole part is like, I don't know what we're doing, but you're at a funeral and Rory proposes to Lydia on like the porch in front of everyone at a funeral and Lydia's like, we're at a fucking funeral and it cuts like after banging her head into the house. Yeah, if if someone did this at like one of my loved ones funerals, like, first of all, you're getting the shit beat out of you. You're being asked to leave.
00:52:37
Speaker
Ask to leave and just never show back up again. Like, no, don't talk to any of us. I get it a little bit because, you know, like the edgy, like, you know, dark goth shit, but that's too far, dude. Oh, I didn't get it at all. I didn't like it.
00:52:51
Speaker
um And when Lydia says no at first. ah Rory's like, oh, well, you know, it's the death of Charles, the death of, he says his grandfather and the death of us, he says, which is like so fucking dramatic. Mm hmm.
00:53:08
Speaker
um Eventually, Lydia caves under the pressure and says yes. And Delia and Ash were pissed. Delia don't like fucking Rory either. And after storms off on a bike road, we follow her and she's on a bike and this was not coherent either. I don't know if it's meant that like time was supposed to pass, but there's a big scene. There's a big like zoom out and she's on a long windy road. Then it cuts and she's like in the middle of a neighborhood with like a bunch of turns like blocks. Yeah. It's like after she, cause she rides over the bridge. Right. And then she's like in the town.
00:53:47
Speaker
Yeah, I think it's a nitpick, but I didn't like it. But I do say this whole movie screams fall. The movie fall. Or the season. Yeah, I have never seen the movie. I don't know why I said that. Just the colors. I mean, it's happening at Halloween, too. Right. Oh, which I didn't say that. So they're going to get married on Halloween at midnight.
00:54:13
Speaker
Stupid ah yeah, so she almost gets hit by a car cuz she's looking at Halloween decorations people are putting up and then she ends up like going through a fence and crashing into a tree She hit her head like straight on that tree actor had in that tree, huh? At least concussed I thought maybe I saw it wrong. And then I went and saw it again. And I was like, oh, yeah, she just smacked her face against this fucking tree. Yeah. And we meet Jeremy, who is hanging out in this tree house. He's like, you OK? And he's holding ah this book called Crime and Punishment, which Astrid's read three times. And they kind of like start talking. They were hanging out in this tree house. And we find out that her father went to Brazil.
00:55:01
Speaker
And, you know, never came back. They went looking for him. And they never found him. um ah And she, you know. Jeremy puts together that. Astrid's mother is Lydia Deets, but she doesn't believe any of that shit. She believes in science like a real person on her damn street. She apologizes for the fence and Jimmy's like, yeah, my parents won't even notice. um We cut to Wolf, Mr. Defoe. Wolfie, Wolfie, Wolfie.
00:55:31
Speaker
Yeah. Watch that movie again. Absolutely. He's like at the crime scene of the laundromat where, uh, homie got his soul sucked. And he kind of just explains like the motive and whatever. He's like, yeah, Beetlejuice is probably laying low and it cuts the Beetlejuice, like telling Bob and all the other dudes to like block door with furniture. Yeah, but he's just chilling. He's reading the newspaper. Right.
00:55:59
Speaker
um And he has Bob next to him like as a decoy dressed up like him fucking bob dude like And then he like you said he's reading newspapers he's at Charles Deets died and he's like, yeah now's my time im Fuck that bitch. I've been thinking about her ever since she was a little so fucking weird Age is nothing to a demon No, get it. I got it. I Get it. Got it. Good. All right. So cut that. We cut to Rory, who's walking. He has some boxes like not. They're not folded yet. They're flat. And he hears Delia screaming. This is fucking stupid, too.
00:56:46
Speaker
ah And Astrid and Lydia run in and she's screaming for her grief. project thing that she's doing. Right. And then Rory runs in, and he goes to Lydia first, and she's like, yeah, it was Delia. Yeah. Astrid discovers the attic. The attic. The attic. um Looking at the town model, and the Beetlejuice love connection flyer just kind of falls to the ground. Right. ah She finds her dad's stuff, looking at photos.
00:57:26
Speaker
and this is when Lydia enters and they're talking about the pictures and that she wants to keep the pictures and then she shows her the flyer and Astrid says Beetlejuice and Lydia freaks the fuck out. She makes the whole attic like off limits. Yeah. she said ah Astrid says it twice and then Lydia like fucking storms the fuck out. And then there's, did you find this funny? The weird breathing exercises sound like a fucking horse.
00:57:55
Speaker
Yes. and Okay. Didn't work for me. Delia's like, why do you keep sound making that sound? It sounds like a moose is about to attack me.
00:58:06
Speaker
Um, then the two of them are talking and Ashred storms off again. And, uh, we find out like,
00:58:17
Speaker
Lydia met Rory on this retreat and, uh, you know, she's upset that after doesn't like her. And then Delia started telling her, well, you didn't like me when you were little. And, uh, Lydia's like, no, I resented you, but it's different. And Delia's like, not really. Yeah. Um, so.
00:58:40
Speaker
She literally tells Delia that she's seeing Beelah Juice again. And Delia's like, dude, fucking take your life back. Get your shit together. What the fuck? So after he goes to see Jeremy, and they go inside, and the mom is like baking, and she doesn't look over. Yeah. And then the dad's like in the kit are in the living room watching Wheel of Fortune. He isn't turning around. He's like, hey.
00:59:04
Speaker
ah They go up to Jeremy's room and he has the handbook for the recently deceased sitting on the table, which I didn't put this together on the force of wash. i'm a little I didn't either, but it's pretty ah ah telling. Yeah. So. Jeremy tells after his mom just stress bakes and his dad had an accident, so now he's on the couch all the time.
00:59:30
Speaker
And Astrid talks about her father and how they had plans to visit all these iconic places like the Dracula castle and whatnot and Her and her father bonded over Halloween over the raunchy costumes Yes weird. Yeah, I didn't follow that don't do that and it was her favorite Holly But now it's her least favorite cuz her father's getting her stepdad is marrying Lydia on that day ah Which is tomorrow in the story so Jeremy invites her over the next night and we cut to Rory and Lydia I guess playing the wedding. I don't know but Rory's like I invite all the press and don't She's like, I don't want anybody to be here And she's on her phone and a bill juice ad pops up It's like we got a bad porn website. Just like fucking pop up after pop up little just nothing pop up and And she runs upstairs and she's yelling at the model, like the town monster. Get out. Like, don't I don't want anything to do with you. Nice fucking model. And Rory comes up and he's like, fuck you talking about? And she tells him about Beale Juice and he thinks it's unresolved trauma. And he's like, I'm going to give you the push you need. And he yells or calls Beale Juice three times and they end up in the model.
01:00:52
Speaker
And they're like in front of a couple's therapy sign. Here we go, baby. We in juice world now. And then they fall through a little trap door and end up at a like a therapy office and bill juice like flicks his hand or whatever. Lydia's ah mouth is sewn shut.
01:01:17
Speaker
And then he's talking about, like, oh, let's spill our guts. And Beelge is just fucking literally spills his guts. Spills his guts. And impregnates Lydia with a baby. Baby Juice. ah Baby Juice, who is probably my favorite part of the movie. Baby Juice? ah Yeah, I think so. Yeah. He's good. And he's crawling around, and Beelge is like, oh, they say he has my eyes. I don't see it. And he's it looks like fucking Minnie Michael Keaton.
01:01:47
Speaker

And the baby baby juice starts biting Lydia's leg. And she rips like the whatever offer the bandage, not a bandage, like the yarn, the mouth stitches.
01:02:19
Speaker
Sure. Stitches, yeah. And ah er says home three times and ends up back in the attic. And we cut to Astrid looking at the snakes that Delia has. And as she corrects her, they're called asps. Which, what are those? I don't know. Those real snakes? Sure. And pass Delia says they're defanged, which, yeah, sure they are.
01:02:43
Speaker
Uh, and Lydia comes down. So we got to leave right now. And Asher doesn't want to leave because she has plans with, uh, Jeremy. Um, and she's like, I want to stay in Lydia caves. Cause again, she's broken. Um,
01:03:00
Speaker
we cut to Delia and Lydia nailing the attic door shut and Lydia brings Asher to Jeremy's house, which is on one 25 Jefferson lane, the most generic.
01:03:13
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Address. ah And she wants to go in and meet the parents and she's like, no, the fuck. Yeah, don't do that. Well, I would. Huh? Well, how how old do you think Astrid's supposed to be? She's in college, right? Yeah, like her early 20s. Yeah, I guess I wouldn't. I don't give a fuck. You're an adult. No.
01:03:38
Speaker
um And she's going to come back to pick her up at 10 p.m. And Jeremy walks her up and his room is decked out for Halloween. This is vibes. Halloween vibes. I'm with it. I'm with it for sure. ah He's dressed up as James Dean and she is dressed up as Marie Curie, who discovered radiation and died from it. Very odd.
01:04:03
Speaker
And they have this little awkward kiss thing and they start floating, which she realize realizes they're floating and realizes that Jeremy is a ghost and that he died falling from a tree house 23 years ago. And he's like, oh, there's a way you can help me come back as a real person so we can be together. And he he tempts her with that. Oh, you could see your dad. Fuck. Why don't you believe that? I mean,
01:04:29
Speaker
Either way, I don't know if that was possible. I guess if she really cared about her dad that much, um,
01:04:37
Speaker
the, he pulls up the recently deceased book and he's like, Oh yeah. If you read from this, he can, we got to start there. So we got to deal you who signing paperwork and with, uh, Butterfield for our first name, Ray Jane, I think.
01:04:54
Speaker
Sounds about right. um And Rory is out swapping the candy for fruit and carrots. Just so bad. Fuck you, dude. And Butterfield is going out for Halloween as a reverse mortgage. This I did find slightly amusing. Yeah, it was literally a shirt with the word mortgage spelled backwards. Yeah. Um.
01:05:20
Speaker
Lydia tells Butterfield that Astrid's on a date at the 125 Jefferson Lane House, and this is where we find out that Jeremy actually shmurdered his parents and died falling out of the tree house when the cops arrived. And we cut back to Jeremy and Astrid in the attic in his bedroom, and he's drawing a door with chalk, and she's like, yeah, sure. That's how you get into the afterlife, whatever. Yeah. OK. That's a sound. Yeah.
01:05:51
Speaker
Astrid reads his incantation, and Lydia's trying to get over there to stop her from going into the afterlife. And when Lydia goes into the house, you see that she walks by a for sale sign, so no one lives in the house. Right, it's been abandoned. You know, if you, you know, looked around in your surroundings, when you first got there, you would have realized that there is a for sale sign outside the house. That you would have realized, but also,
01:06:16
Speaker
um don't Asher doesn't know she can see ghosts Well, she didn't know that she didn't know she thought she was just seeing their parents. Yeah meat juice. I just realized what the name of the ah call was So ah she sees Lydia sees the parents and the like you mentioned earlier the mom has the wine uncorker and And her dad like a saw through his head and like a buzz saw it was cool shit, which the dad I forgot his name But the actor shout out to him. He's great um And she just misses them she they go into the afterlife and Astrid and Jeremy have to go to immigration. That's where the lady at the desk in the waiting room tells him to go and Delia is
01:07:11
Speaker
at the grave of her husband Charles with the snakes which she said like I guess like in ancient Egypt like People would do it with the Pharaoh to like commune with them yeah doing some weird ritual with the snakes Sure, and she pulls the snakes out of the basket and the snakes just fucking bite her neck and she dies Which is like the really cheap throw away I feel yeah um then
01:07:37
Speaker
We follow Lydia back to the house and she tells Rory that ah she's going upstairs to try her dress on and don't come see the bride because it's bad luck. But in reality, she's going to summon Beetlejuice. And ah she summons Beetlejuice and she's like, what the fuck is this incantation bullshit that Asher just read? And Beetlejuice tells her like, oh, yeah, she swapped live with Jeremy. She's fucked. Yeah.
01:08:00
Speaker
and quid pro quo. Hey, yo. um If you, if Beetlejuice helps her save Astrid, she'll marry Beetlejuice. So we're back with, oh, and this is where we find out that it's, she, Astrid would be dead dead and she's going to the great beyond. Shout out Sausage Party. but He's good, I don't care what anybody says. I'm a Party stan. That's a hot pole right there.
01:08:30
Speaker
Should as soon as they said the great beyond is exactly what I thought of immediately. could We review sausage party. I don't think we should. ask Let's just do it. Fuck it. Right. um So Bill just has to get back in the afterlife and he draws a bomb with the chalk instead of a door to break in the back door and he busts into his office. And this looked good. Yeah. like The angle of like Bob turning around like what the fuck in the door blows open that like worked. They probably did that practically, right? They just blew up a fucking wall for sure. Fucker did it. Yeah. ah And Bill just tells Bob and the guys to stand guard and no one leaves. And as soon as he dips with Lydia, all the little meat heads run out. Yeah, they go to the real world. Yeah. We cut to a wolf who's practicing his lines. This was funny.
01:09:27
Speaker
Uh, I just love it. Yeah. He's so good. And the alarm goes off to code 6 9 9, which I guess means that a living is in the afterlife. Yeah. But it doesn't go off when Ashford gets there, which is a little weird. Yeah. Technically, Ash was there first, but, but I guess they have a plan for her, right? Yeah. yeah big Right. So maybe she's.
01:09:52
Speaker
Oh, she summoned the doorway. So I guess you did some in the doorway. Yeah. But people do summoned Lydia's doorway. I'll summon your doorway. Hey, yo, I'll bend over right now.
01:10:05
Speaker
Uh, so yeah, the, the long goes off because Lydia's entered the afterlife and we cut the jelly who's wakes up in the waiting room and she's pissed that she died. She's like, I fucking died. She's like, I know people. Yeah. And, uh, we go to immigration and the lady, this lady takes a picture of, uh, Astrid and Jeremy and Astrid doesn't feel good. And this is where Jeremy tells her, Oh yeah, we swapped lives. And, uh, Astrid gets escorted away by like some officers.
01:10:34
Speaker
and on the way she thinks she sees her father which practical effects here you gotta give it to him so apparently the way he died was he fell into what was it the the Nile River yeah sure yeah one of the rivers or the the Amazon Amazon, I think that's it. He fell into the Amazon river and Africa. Yeah, it was the Amazon. Yeah. Okay. You fell into the Amazon river and got eaten alive by piranha and they're just like stick it out through his body and they're like wiggling around and shit. They just kept making this weird sound. You're like, it was good. And it is her father and
01:11:24
Speaker
Jeremy has to get this passport stamp to confirm the transaction transition, whatever. We cut back to Dolores, who has not been the movie for like an hour. Right? Because she's irrelevant to the plot. And she's looking at Bill juice's desk and she clicks his picture. And if she sees a picture of child Lydia. Again, weird. Yeah. And smashes it and walks away and you see Bob hiding under the desk.
01:11:51
Speaker
Uh, the soul train is literally like soul, like, uh, music, the music. I did not find this funny. Oh, I did. Okay. Um, I found it a nice play on words. Okay. To each their own. It didn't work for me. Uh, it sounds like I hate to move more than you did now. I think you did. I have to check my rating again. Uh, the officers throw astronaut to the soul train and Lydia shows up and pulls her off.
01:12:22
Speaker
And, uh, the cops, officers or whatever, they see her pull Astrid off the train and they start pursuing and they run through the emergency exit, which is like, just like a desert. It's the sandworm pit from the original. Yeah. It's Astrid calls it Saturn's moon. So this is thing is called a sandworm, huh? Yeah. Okay. I thought they were ripping off Dune.
01:12:49
Speaker
I know the same one was in the first one. I just thought my sand and in the way it came out, I thought they were playing off dune. Got it. Sandworm. And then it kind of reminds me of tremors, which by the way, I want to just say this now just to get people mad at me. I think doing is pretty mid. Both of them. All right. I thought you were going to agree with me.
01:13:14
Speaker
You don't care. You don't care enough. I don't give a fuck about Dune, dude.
Overhyped Movies and Beetlejuice Scene Discussion
01:13:17
Speaker
All right, good. Any of those like really big overhyped bullshit movies, I don't give a fuck about. There we go. There it is.
01:13:25
Speaker
and Uh, so the Sam arms chasing them and the dad opened some Ram door. This is also a big, uh, monsters, Inc vibes with the doors. Oh, with the doors. Yeah. yeah And the dad pulls them out. Yo, if I have a daughter, yeah, I'm going to paint her door with those little pink flowers.
01:13:45
Speaker
So yeah, they they have a little rekindling right there and he's like, oh, you two are good for each other. Shut the fuck up, dead dead. Deadbeat deadbe dad i feel like dey daddy I just don't care enough. Like, it's just not it's not there for me to care. I don't know why it's not built up enough. but I guess it doesn't have to be because it's a fucking Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice movie. Right. We're here to see Beetlejuice.
01:14:06
Speaker
Right we cut to back to wolf who I guess is kind of ah a bright spot of this movie I've kind of come around on him now a little bit. It's funny, dude he's He's great and his secretary whatever walks and she's got a javelin through her neck And she says they found Bob and the light, you know lights up and there's Bob in the interrogation room And
01:14:33
Speaker
ah and Wolf tries to do the bad cup act. Where is Beetlejuice? I don't think he gets any answers. I can't talk. His mouth is stoned shut. Right. And we come back to Delia trying to get the afterlife and she's not getting anywhere and she calls Beetlejuice and Beetlejuice was like, I'll help you find Charles if you help me find Lydia. We cut back to the interrogation room.
01:15:04
Speaker
Wolf is gone, it's just Bob hanging out, and Dolores walks in, and this is sad. Bro. ah Fuck you, Dolores. She sucks Bob's soul. She fucking kills Bob. Which, Dolores, you can suck me off whenever you want. I mean... Sure, she wasn't that bad looking. Monica Belucci.
01:15:27
Speaker
ah
01:15:30
Speaker
We cut to this was funny. I actually did enjoy this. We cut to Jeremy. He's about to get his passport stamped. But the attendant is bill juice and the stamps is shit at a lock. He pulls like a lever and he falls into like the pits of hell. Yeah. And right before he pulls the lever, he goes later, fucker. Michael Keaton's so good. Yeah. ah Goes to hell like you said. Yeah.
01:15:59
Speaker
And the dad kind of leads Astrid and Lydia to the surface right by the church. And Astrid's like, thanks so much for saving my life. I believe in ghosts now. ah They enter the church and Rory has all these influencers there and a Netflix producer executive. Yo, are we getting a Beetlejuice television show? There was one though, like back in the day. That's what Alton was showing. There was a Beetlejuice TV show. Right. But are we, are we getting a live action one now? Is that a hint hint?
01:16:30
Speaker
Don't do it. You don't want to read reviews so saying that they might make a ah three equal. Oh, don't do that either. Oh, well, it it would just make sense because Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. so You're right. But don't do it. That makes sense. Don't do it. Yeah. Or do it, but do it right. My my review of Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice is going to be so misleading now because I kind of the first time I watched this, I'll just say now I gave it a three and a half. Mm hmm.
01:16:59
Speaker
And I wrote that, uh, Tim Burton and Michael Keaton actually kind of put some effort into it, but no, I don't really know. I'm kind of. Michael Keaton did for sure. I wanted more. I don't want to be in the film. Like you said, but I wanted more. Well, if they do a Beetlejuice three.
01:17:17
Speaker
They need to do more juice because that's what we're here to see. Right. Extra,
Critique on Singing Sequence and Disjointed Narrative
01:17:22
Speaker
extra juice. Right. We need juice, sauce and a little bit of dressing. Shut up your gravy. Uh. I do appreciate that they had the whole most of the cast come back to do this, which obviously helps, but I just I don't know. It would win.
01:17:43
Speaker
I think it's also in the era we're in of like, it's just why are we doing things getting remade? Every IP gets a s sequel or a remake. i I feel like no, maybe this is just my personal opinion. But if if Gina Davis was in it, it would have been better. I love Gina Davis. I don't know why they weren't in it. Well, Alec Baldwin killed a guy, so maybe that's why.
01:18:05
Speaker
you think ah But they do that scene where Astrid's in the attic. Yeah, they mentioned them. They mentioned them. They moved on. We made a deal. They got out of the house and moved on, which I didn't realize they were trapped in that house. Yeah. Yeah, so Jeremy goes to hell. And Lydia and, oh, they're about to get married. And there's all these influencers there. And Bill Juice shows up with Delia.
01:18:35
Speaker
Delia, and ah he transitions into the. What's it called? It's therapist outfit, and he gives Roy the truth serum and Roy is just a gold digger. Yeah, I kind of saw that coming. And he never had a dead fiance, only had to exploit her. And Lydia asked, why did you marry me? He's like for money, like almost like, duh, like, yeah, for money. It's literally what I wrote. Money, duh.
01:19:04
Speaker
And, uh, bill juice snap, like snaps all the influencers into their phones. Cause he wants to be private. Here's the bad CGI.
01:19:16
Speaker
Oh, so you didn't like the scene of them getting sucked into the phones. No, I thought it was bad. Oh, I liked it. Really? Yeah. Okay. Well, it it was a nice call. Uh, it was fan service again, cause they were like stretching their faces like in the OG movie. That's what I thought was going to happen. Yeah. Yeah. But the OG obviously does it better cause they're actually using practice CGI wasn't a thing. Right. Um, there's this long singing and dancing sequence.
Astrid's Storyline and Emotional Depth
01:19:41
Speaker
I'll be honest on my second watch. I walked out at this point. I didn't want to watch the rest of the movie. nice I the musical number here.
01:19:48
Speaker
I ah just don't care for it. OK. I don't know if you want to do some of this scene by scene. I don't have much written. The lore shows up. Yeah. Ashwood summons the sandworm with her like lipstick. Yeah, it it was really fucking annoying. Or I don't know. Similar, right? so Yeah. I mean, I feel just I've been fucking pissed.
01:20:12
Speaker
Yeah, Dolores shows up and like you said, Ashred summons a worm and then eats her eats her and Rory. And that's just it for Dolores, like the most irrelevant fucking. Stupid pointless fucking character gone. Nothing, nothing ever happens with her. ah Yeah, you're hot. It's about it. Uh,
01:20:39
Speaker
And then Beetlejuice gets arrested by ah by Wolf? By Wolf, yeah. Then he dies, I think. Who dies? Beetlejuice, kinda. Nah, he's not dead. You don't think so? Kind of like a blow. If they're making a Beetlejuice cubed, he's not dead. Yeah. You're right. um The only other things I have written down are Delia and Charles Unite.
01:21:04
Speaker
Yeah, Delia says like she's dead. and There's that nightmare sequence at the end where Lydia wakes up like three times next to Beeljuice.
01:21:14
Speaker
Yeah, oh, ol lydia ah Lydia retires from doing her ghost show. Oh, does she? Yeah, she ah she's like filming it one last episode. She said she's retiring because she's going to focus on you know her family and stuff. Oh, and there's that part where they go to the Dracula's castle.
01:21:32
Speaker
Yeah. Stupid shit. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Time warp. Lydia meets some, not Lydia. Astrid meets some random hot dude, some hot dude that's like dressed up as Dracula. Then they get married and then Astrid's like in the hospital, like giving birth and then maybe it's baby juice. Like he spews out. Yeah. It's just kind of dumb. It just kind of ends.
01:22:01
Speaker
Uh, at the very end of the credit, like before, like the full on credits roll. Yeah. They
Movie Ratings and Sequel vs Original Debate
01:22:07
Speaker
pulled up a picture of Bob and they say in loving memory of Bob, 1373 to 2024. RIP. RIP Bob, dude. Give justice for Bob. Absolutely. I, uh, I forgot about that part. I did appreciate the, uh, homage to Bob. but So where are you at with a rating on this? Cause I,
01:22:31
Speaker
my rewatch, I gave it a three. I might bump into a two and a half now. I'm out of three. and Okay. Um, it's it's just run of the mill cash grabby, you know, bullshit. Yeah. Like it, it don't get, it has its moments. It can be fun. I feel like the opening,
01:23:00
Speaker
Exposition isn't great. And then it starts cooking like once Ashford meets Jeremy. Yeah, but again, I don't know. I don't like any of that either. I don't like the whole Astrid Jeremy thing.
01:23:17
Speaker
Yeah, I guess not. I just like him that he goes that bill just goes later. Fucker and just drops him in the fucking hell. Like the only good parts of this movie are Beetlejuice. Bob.
01:23:29
Speaker
Um, Willem Dafoe. Willem Dafoe. Like the, the parts that hit really hit and the parts that fail are just not entertaining at all. I'm trying to think what direction it could have went, but I always get back to like, you don't do it. and Right. Cause the OGs a masterpiece as it is. I don't think that either. I don't think it's a masterpiece, dude. Masterpiece is pretty crazy to say. What'd you give it on your rewatch? Three and a half. The OG. Yep.
01:23:59
Speaker
i Told you I've logged it. I thought yeah, you're right. I did I did I did you're right. I'm sorry ah
Upcoming Horror Reviews and Future Excitement
01:24:06
Speaker
No, it's it's It's it's substantially better than this movie. Obviously. There's no shot in hell that the sequels better than the original No, I agree with you on that. I think my problem with the first one is It's not all the problem like a lot of the problem is like Beetlejuice, when he's in the movie, he's like it's like hard to understand what he's saying. Oh, you know, he's just. er That's like how he talks. Like, oh, Keaton, what do you think about that? So now I got to rethink what I did because I already put it on my 2024 ranked list and I might drop it. By the way, for the listeners, a strange drawing did end up at number three on all because I last episode, I was undecided. That's good to know.
01:24:54
Speaker
um Beel juice, beetle juice. Do you like this or Cuckoo more? Fuck. I think Cuckoo, right? Cuckoo's original IP. It is an original IP. Let me let me go back to my letterbox. See what I rated it. I think we both gave it a three. I think I gave it less than I. Oh, did you?
01:25:27
Speaker
I gave it two. Oh wow, okay. So I guess in the grand scheme of things, I liked Beetlejuice Beetlejuice better than Cuckoo. And i I still think I stand by that. ah Yeah, I don't know where this is gonna rank. this Is it gonna be somewhere in the 30s for me? I enjoyed this more than Alien Romulus. Yeah. Right? Yeah. What did I, I gave rhymes to two star, didn't I? So did I.
01:25:56
Speaker
Yeah, I did. Uh, yeah, I think I did too. Um, all right. Well, sorry. i on the boom Yeah, man. This movie's a, I don't know. We both said going into, we didn't have high expectation. No. Cause how can you? No, you can't. Um, once again, the horror bracket to end on a positive is live the next round, the quarterfinals.
01:26:21
Speaker
Yes, please go vote. I'm very excited. It's going to be so fun. So as a teaser for what movies we are going to be. Announcing that we are reviewing.
