Beetlejuice Beetlejuice vs The Others: The Other Beetlejuice
Manage episode 440603768 series 3322059
This episode we’re descending into hell and watching Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, confirming that ‘belated sequels to hits from the 80s’ looks like it’s going to be a thing… Most of the cast is back, as are a number of the same gags. But instead of comparing it to the 1988 original movie, Beetlejuice, we’ve spread our net a little wider to draw parallels with the masterful 2001 Nicole Kidman slow burn supernatural thriller The Others. Two haunted houses, two anxious mothers, two gothic confections. But which film features so many subplots that we forgot half of the characters completely? Which film plays with our expectations and pulls out the rug so often it threatens to destroy the whole carpet? And which film stars one of the greatest comedians of all time….?
Plus Vince Vaughn returns as a detective, a Clive Barker classic shows us how horror really works, the Cliche Squad has to establish a specialist ‘hell’ division, we briefly summarise 70s cult novel The Diceman, our sponsor clears the air for us, and one of us wakes up screaming in real life. This podcast is so random!
