Episode # 368 Beetlejuice with Stew and Smith from It Doesn’t Hold Up podcast

Flixwatcher: A Netflix Film Review Podcast

Stew and Smith from It Doesn’t Hold Up podcast join Flixwatcher to review Beetlejuice.

Beetlejuice (1988) is a fantasy horror comedy directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse, a sleazy ‘bio-exorcist’, Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as Adam and Barbara, the unfortunate couple who die and return to their house to be haunted by the new inhabitants which include Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, a teenage goth.

Beetlejuice set the tone for Tim Burton’s films of the 1980s and 1990s and 2024 saw the long awaited sequel which would star a number of the original cast. Beetlejuice balances creepy horror with genuine laughs, mainly down to Keaton’s sex pest antagonist and Ryder’s charming Lydia (Ryder was only 15 when she filmed this!).

Recommendability for Beetlejuice was pretty high, taking into account the nostalgia and also the lack of real plot. Decent scores for the remaining Flixwatcher categories give a very respectable overall score of 4.52.
