Deep Thoughts about Beetlejuice
Manage episode 444154284 series 3493147
I myself am strange and unusual.
On today’s episode of Deep Thoughts, Emily shares her thoughts about the ghost with the most: Beetlejuice. The Tim Burton film is aesthetically gorgeous, unapologetically bizarre, and legitimately funny–but the character of Beetlejuice relies on sexual predation to indicate his awfulness and Michael Keaton’s performance is so sleazily charming that audiences revered the creep. It’s a shame that we remembered the villain, since the film does offer a positive message about rejecting zero-sum thinking and introduced an entire generation of viewers to activist and musician Harry Belafonte.
Put on your headphones, turn on the juice, and see what shakes loose!
