IT'S SHOWTIME!!!

This week on My Dad’s Movie Podcast, we’re heading into the strange, crooked, wonderfully weird world of Tim Burton’s 1988 classic BEETLEJUICE — with returning guest Barry Barnhart!We break down the movie that helped define Tim Burton’s unmistakable visual style, from its German Expressionist influences and bizarre production design to its practical effects, stop-motion creatures, unforgettable characters, and Michael Keaton’s iconic performance as the ghost with the most.We also look at how collaboration helped turn a movie Hollywood initially didn’t know what to do with into a cult classic, including the contributions of Michael Keaton and production designer Bo Welch.Then we jump ahead more than three decades for BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE. Does Tim Burton recapture the magic of the original? We talk Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci, Michael Keaton’s return, the sequel’s practical-effects approach, its overloaded cast of characters, and whether we really needed Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian.Plus: the Maitlands, sandworms, Danny Elfman, Day-O, MacArthur Park, Zagnuts, Comedy Central commercial breaks, and an alarming amount of Danny DeVito.If you enjoy the episode, like the video, subscribe, and let us know in the comments: Which do you prefer — BEETLEJUICE or BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE?#Beetlejuice#BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice#MyDadsMoviePodcast#BarryBarnhart#TimBurton#80sMovies#MoviePodcast#MichaelKeaton
