Hi, 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.240 welcome to the backtel Cast. My aunt's Shamie. My name 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.840 is Caitlin. This is our backtel cast. It's about movies. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:38.800 It's about women. It's about women and movies. Do they 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.280 do good? Do they do that? Let's it's a bit 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:46.000 of a middle in the middle. We are recording in 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.920 New York City right now. Say hey, alternative location. Yeah, 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.080 pretty cool, which means Aristotle isn't with us. Uh he 0:01:54.200 --> 0:02:00.560 passed away? Fun No, Airstotle's alive and well but yeah, 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.040 we're we're both here in New York. We're going to 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.760 be recording our live episode later tonight, but here with 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.760 we're with her friends with some parts were among friends. 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.840 Quick update. I don't have Mike's hard that's on me, 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.960 but I will procure one, I think for the live 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.120 I mean that's my plan. Yeah, try to have to 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.919 find it. Yeah, like, I'll figure it out really quick. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:26.760 I was in Boston last night and I met this person, 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.440 probably the worst person I've ever met, but his name 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.359 was Kevin. My friend and I were trying to find 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.960 somewhere quiet to catch up, and this Kevin just came 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.320 out of nowhere and was like, I didn't get into 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.640 Harvard Business School. He cried. And then I asked him 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.720 if he knew what the Bechdel test was, and he 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.239 asked if that was a standardized test because he because 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.320 he was in the Harvard Business School zone. So anyways, 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.200 I got to see a man really at his lowest 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:55.959 last night, and it felt like a really good way 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.359 to come in here. Yeah, that's encouraging. No, I get 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.480 exactly what you mean. And if you are like Kevin 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.480 and you don't know what the Bechtel test is, we're 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.480 here to tell you. It's a test that you apply. 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:12.359 Thank you you handed out that whole story keeping it. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.799 If you don't know what the Bechtel test is, it's 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.400 a test that you apply to movies or TV shows 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.440 or anything with a story. It requires that two women 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.680 in the story talk to each other. They also have 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.520 to have names, and their conversation has to be about 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.600 something other than a male. Yeah, and we've explained it 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.200 on every episode of our podcast, So yeah, I suppose 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.720 there's a couple we missed. But people yellous when we 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.520 don't say the right things at the right times, and 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.800 I remember and it hurts my feelings. I forgot to 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.600 talk about cat facts last time, so we're not to 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.000 talk about Alfred mill, which is like, I don't I 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:51.600 barely believe that, but it's possible. In any case. We 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.160 have a guest, as we always do, we have a guest. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.920 So our guest today he's a delight. He lives in Actually, 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.400 it's totally makes sense that you love this movie because 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:08.080 this is such a loud, obnoxious, long Island style movie. 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:13.800 On am I allowed to shut up? Okay, he's got 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:18.240 a podcast. It's called TV Casualty. It's on what network 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:25.280 Machine shout out to life. It's my Hi, Hi. I 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.640 think we should address this. We're sitting beside each other. 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.760 It feels it's weird. I don't want to make eye 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:35.800 contact with Mike. I'd rather kill myself. But he's right, 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:41.440 they're so happy to be here. We're doing a bad 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:49.120 job as hosts and I'm being an exceptional guest. Well, 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:53.000 let's talk about the movie, which is Beetlejuice. And you 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.760 picked this movie. Why did you pick this movie? What's 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.760 your history with it? How many times have you seen it? 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.400 Let's see, I've probably seen this movie to hunt times, 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.240 like a lot. It was like it was like a 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.240 big movie of my childhood. I liked it. I would 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.560 rent it from the library pretty often. You were like 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:14.720 watching Beetle Juice in Long Island, just sitting just sitting 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.320 on the couch in my parents house, just loving Beetle Juice, 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.120 eating a bunch of dorrito's, really having a good time 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.839 to do a young one on a rider. Of course, 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.040 every day, every day is a day that I am 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.880 trying hard not to get the Winona Forever tattoo that 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.440 Johnny had every day of my life. I have a 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.480 friend named Sammy who has that tattoo. There is it 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:44.360 Winona because Johnny has Wino for every change, which also 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.880 like doesn't bode well with this current persona, Like it's 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.480 just you can't win with that tattoo. Also, he's a 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.240 coward for getting it removed. Just live with it. Yeah, 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.080 I covered up what is forever. Time is a construct. 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.960 That's true, You're right, but yeah, probably the first time 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.719 I probably saw it was probably like six or seven, 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.039 because I was like, this is like kids movie. It 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.760 seems fun. And then the first time I thought, I 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:10.279 was like, I don't know, it looks like like you'd think, yeah, 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:12.400 you'd think, but it's not. That's kind of the Tim 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.880 Burton thing, where like everything looks like a kid's movie, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.440 but it also makes you feel very uncomfortable for a while, 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.560 as like like Edward scissor Hands maybe feel very uncomfortable 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.720 as a child until I realized what it was. I 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:29.040 was very horny for Edward sussor Hands. Yeah, well I 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.080 don't share that sentiment, but I liked that movie a 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.279 lot for at least some span of time. I haven't 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.320 seen it in a while. It's a crier, it's a 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.520 sad one. You're gonna feel things, you're gonna be you're 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.000 gonna feel compassionate, you're gonna real light with a white man. 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.240 It's going to be confusing every seas. The hand is 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.720 very hot. Well, that movie. That movie, and I think 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.559 Beetle Juice also, and probably a lot of Tim Burton 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:56.960 movies don't make any sense. No, yeah, I okay, we'll 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.240 get into it. I don't like Beetle Juice. The movie 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:06.679 very much feminist, psychon feminist, feminist. One of my problems, 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.600 one of my several problems with the movie Beetle Juice, 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.400 is that he's so grotesque to look at that he's 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.480 too hot. I didn't like scabs all over his Forehead's 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.800 right now, you know what? That kind of makes sense 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:24.200 why Jamie likes him covered covered in scabs. He has 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:33.280 one suit, pinch stripes, he eats bugs, He's a disgusting pervert. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.960 He has no respect for women. This is like my 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.840 kind of guy. Yeah, but mostly a time, mostly the scabs. 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:45.160 It's mostly the scabs and the like pancake face facial makeup. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.160 Well when did you foresee it? I would guess like 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.880 early teens. I've seen it maybe four or five times. Yeah, 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.960 and I like, I don't know what. It seems like 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.040 the kind of movie that I would like, really really 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.200 get into. But I think I avoided it after a 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.920 while because I didn't want to get looped in with 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.840 the hot topic kids. I wanted to be a hot 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.120 topic kid. But I like, unlike other clicks, that I 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.840 tried to ingratiate myself into a k the anime kids 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:17.440 who rejected me heartily, the Juggalos who rejected me heartily. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.240 But there are a family. They're not for me. Not 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:21.800 if you have a back brace and you can't play 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:26.920 Hacky Sack. Juggals. I know the Juggalos. I know, like 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:28.880 you had to be able to play Hacky Sack. If 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.360 you were physically not able to play Hacky Sack, that's 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.480 the one thing that would mean you can't be seen 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.880 so many pictures of Juggalos who definitely couldn't play Hacky Sack. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.079 These ones very accepting. They were very accepting people. They 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.160 really are, Like there's a they did, like a march 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:49.880 for a quality. Anyways, there's a documentary about feminism at 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.599 the gathering of the Juggalos. I didn't know what a 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.200 Juggler was until I was like twenty eight, Like, well 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.520 that's wild, yeah, so be it. When I saw it. 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.600 I remember being on the TV when I was like 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:10.240 probably six and only remembering the image of like that 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.000 stripy worm like going through the sand, and that was 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:15.720 the only thing I remember about it, And I don't 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.760 think I saw it since then until a couple of 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.160 days ago when I watched it to prep for this episode, 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.000 So I like lived my life thing. Yeah, I know 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.240 about Beetle Juice. I've seen it and I know the 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.280 things about it. And it turns out I don't like 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.840 I hadn't and like I said, I don't like it 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:41.120 that much. Uh sorry, everyone, but I have reasons and 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:47.760 they're good. So okay, I forgot about who is in 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.760 Beetle Juice. I forgot. I totally forgot Alec Baldwin's and 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:55.880 Beetle Juice. And he looked the hottest he's ever. God's 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:01.680 it's it's everything's tight, doesn't have the right color. Isn't 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:09.480 that big gallon of milkheady as a now he looks, 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.080 Oh god, skinny head. And and I love Gina Davis 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.000 out of control. She's good and Winona didn't remember her 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:21.439 being in it, didn't remember Katherine o. Harriby kills in 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.960 Wanna Want To. I can't think of a movie that's 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:31.920 worse for her being there. Oh wait, she makes everything better, 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.040 she makes everything great. She's amazing. And then the guy 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.439 who plays her husband in that movie is in my 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.720 favorite Tim Burton movie. I don't remember the actor's name, 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:46.280 but he's in Sleepy Hollow, which that is my favorite. 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.200 It's good, you know, it's Johnny Depp being Johnny Depp, 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.480 which turns out as a piece of ship. But it's 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.120 a great it's a fun little thing. He was the 0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:00.480 principal in Ferris Bueller. Oh okay, I saw that movie 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.080 just the other day. Jeffrey Jones is the actor's name? 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.840 Was here? There was an actor who I believe was 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.240 recently in the last couple of years, definitely arrested for 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:20.079 some sort of child crime the podcast Love Perverted. I 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.800 don't want to say it was him, but I feel 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.360 like it was him. Okay, well, what's his name again, 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.199 Jeffrey Jones? Continue to talk? I need to know. Okay, 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.800 Well should I do the recap? Sure? Yeah, what's it about? Well, 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.640 my favorite movie, Beetle Juice is about beetle juice. And 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.640 if you had to say that three times on beetle Juice, 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.800 beetle jice, and then he does the cute I love him. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.960 So okay. Beetle Juice centers around a married couple, Adam 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.680 and Barbara Maitland, which if I were to marry Adam 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:03.000 or Barbara Maitland. My name would be okayln Maitland, so 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:08.319 I might do that observation. Thank you so much. So. 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.360 Adam is played by Alec Baldwin and Barbara is Gina Davis. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.800 And they're living in this house and they love their house. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.560 They built a model of the town in their attic 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.319 and they're having a great time and they go out 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.160 to the store and then they fall off a bridge. 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.600 They crash off of a bridge and die. Uh. And 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.400 it takes them a while to figure out that they've died. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.480 But they're back in their house and they're like, wait 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.679 a minute, what's this book? The handbook for the recently deceased. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.480 They're still hot, they're not gross, ugly, scabby ghosts like 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.200 beetle juices. They're still cute because he's the ghost with 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:56.880 the most So they start to piece together that they 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.480 are dead and that their ghosts, and this new family 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:07.080 moves in and that's and confirmed the sex offender. Oh no, 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:12.880 Katherine Hair and the sex offender coming to the CBS. Yeah, 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:20.840 he's a sex offender too. Well. Misbehaving bad.

Basically, that's 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.800 what happened. He had to go to he had to 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.560 go to counseling and then just be like, Hi, I'm 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:37.760 respected actor, you know, disgraced human Jeffrey Jones, I'm a 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.440 sex offender.

As soon as we got the Internet, my 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:06.880 mom was obsessed with sex offender like listings to find 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.800 out how close they were to the house, or how 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:14.199 close they were to the school. Grinder for we got 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.360 one point two miles away. Let's see what's going on. 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.520 The sex offender and Katherine O'Hara, their characters have a 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.760 daughter and that's when you want to ride her. And 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.520 she's she's got black, She's not like the other girls. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:33.080 She's got different, she's different, and they move in and 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.040 Adam and Barbara are like, no, this is our house, 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:37.800 don't move in. And then so they try to hunt 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.640 them and scare them as they can't leave the house 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.360 right because they yeah, the rule is established for whatever 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.200 reasons that they cannot leave their house. So they try 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.360 to scare the diets is who move in, and that 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.920 doesn't work. So then they go to this like afterlife 0:14:55.560 --> 0:15:03.640 waiting room, which is love the waiting tiny head, tiny head, 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.760 tiny head has got it going on, my man.

Shoulders very 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.520 highlight this side. So they go and they're like, hey, 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.520 we need help. So they meet with this caseworker Juno, 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.600 and she's like, you guys, gotta be simple, be a 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.960 simple ghost to do some simple hauntings. So then they 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.440 try again to haunt them and scare them out of 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.040 the house and that doesn't work, and then they meet 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.040 the daughter went on a writer's characters.

She's a sharp looking kid. There's 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:57.160 a lot of the whole movie has a lot of 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.720 sharp looking elements in it. Yeah. Do you re the 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.520 scene where Beals juices horny and but then he's also 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:08.760 sharp when the spikes scir out of his body? Yeah, 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.600 I think that's fun and that's fun. We horn you 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:16.280 just get very sharp. Yeah, that's literally there's Yeah, Beals 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.280 juices so horny. Yeah, but like literally covered in horns. 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.120 He's covered. Yeah, and he's horny. Do you see it? 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.960 What I'm doing? I get it. I get it. Let 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:35.000 me explained further. So, um, then they meet Lydia, and 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.000 Lydia is like wait, I can see you guys, and 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.240 they're like holy ship. So they like befriend Lydia, but 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.360 they still hate Lydia's parents, so they're still trying to 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.720 get them out. And then they hear about Beetle Juice. Well, 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.000 because the Catherine O'Hara is the stepmom who's who are 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:52.680 always evil. Stepmoms are bad. We've stepparents in general are 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.520 bad in movies in real life. I don't I don't 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.720 have any stepparents. It's like, calm down, Yeah, this is 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.400 what I dis rail gets my dad's girlfriend. Five minutes, 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:08.680 Katherine O'Hara and her her interior designer friend I Love Him, 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.760 are are going through the house and talking about which 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.760 parts they want to tear down. That's when yeah, they're like, 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.240 we gotta call this Beetle Geiss dude. Oh yeah, And 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.280 then they figure out how to summon him. When you 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.720 have to call his name out three times, they figure 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.280 it out, and then they go to his like little 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.320 he's like in hanging out in a cemetery. They have 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.560 to dig him up out of his grave. On the 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.320 pomp and circumstances with Juice. Coming out of the grave, 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.520 he's yelling, he looks like he stinks. I love the 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.720 commercial he has for himself. Yeah, the little song he 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.480 sings at the end, Yeah beautiful. I'm not going to 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.480 sing the song. Okay, I didn't sing the song. Oh 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.840 I want to sing the song probably. Now you know what? 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.840 It is crazy that Michael Keaton is Batman the year 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.879 after Beetle Juice. It's wild right right, Like he's acting 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.360 like the Joker this entire They know a man who 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:02.840 can anchor a series. That's what they know. They go, 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.080 this is the face of our movie. Is yeah, even 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.280 though beetle Juice, the character is in the movie Beetle 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:12.359 Juice for seventeen minutes, it's yeah, where is Beetlejuice? That 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:16.120 for most of the he's not introduced on screen like 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.639 in the flash if you will, in his scabby flesh 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.760 until forty five minutes into the movie. That's my main complaint. 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:27.840 More be more feminist. It's crazy how little beetle Juice 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.760 is in the movie Beetle Juice. It's it's like it's 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.520 like they're like, oh, we had this movie Forrest Gump. 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.720 Let's follow Jenny around for like a long time. Honestly, 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:40.160 would have been a more interesting We're coming for We're 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:45.919 coming for four this I'm serious though, Jenny, she was 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.480 sucking a bunch of dudes. What was Forrest Gump doing? 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.679 He ran across the country, he met the president, he 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:57.960 played Ping Pong real good. He uh, he fights in 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:03.359 a war in the boring. But if not for the 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.080 movie for Us Gump, we would not have Bubba Gump 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.800 Strip Company, the restaurant. And I think that that is 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:14.520 the most important contribution it's made to that's the culture 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.639 that we have. I could seriously go for some Bubba 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.280 gup right now. I'm always going to choose my favorite restaurant, Hooters, 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:24.240 over anything else. Shout out to Hooters, my former place 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:29.280 of employment as a delivery driver. Shout out to Hooters. 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.880 All right, let me finish the recap of Beetle Juice 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.240 and then we can do other things. So they consult 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.320 with Beetle Juice and they find out that he's a pervert, 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:40.600 like within seconds, and they're like, oh, actually, we don't 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.520 want to meet with this guy. But he looks Davis's 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.480 skirt like three seconds after they meet. The first thing 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.359 he does is like he kisses her. Whenever He's just like, 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.240 he's another surprise kiss. We'll get into it, but we 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.520 have a grand legacy of surprise gisses. I would say 0:19:55.560 --> 0:20:01.960 that kiss still is not worse than bread, which way worse. Yes, 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:04.960 is the worst surprise because we've ever talked about on 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:09.080 this podcast. It's horrific. I think he's Beetle Juice over 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.480 the top, taking the head in that movie he lunch. No, 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.560 at least he's not covered in scabs. First of all, 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:20.120 I would preferred be covered in scabs for all of them. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.439 No one seen him for a while. He could be 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.760 covered in scabs. Now we just don't know. Oh he's now, 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.159 he's around. I keep track of the he's around. Are 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:32.760 they filming blasts in the past two? No. There, they 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:34.879 make a scar face, but it's not scar face, it's 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:41.439 scab face and it starts breaded pressure. Yes, good idea, 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:46.560 thank you so much. So anyway, they were like, wow, funk, 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:48.359 we can't work with this beetle juice guy. He's a 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:52.720 gross pervert. And then the family the deets Is find 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:56.360 out about the ghosts the Maitlands and they're like, oh, 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.119 we're going to exploit them, and like have it be 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:00.359 a whole We're gonna have like a little museum. People 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.359 can come and look at the all the ghosts. It 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:07.560 almost becomes a roller coaster movie. Oh yeah, but it doesn't. 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:11.040 But then it doesn't, and then it's a roller coaster 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:15.119 opportunity Jesus. After that, after they find out and they 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:17.080 want to exploit, and they invite all their friends up 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.440 from New York City and then they have the dancing, 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:25.000 a dancing dancing everyone and that party is dressed to 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.400 the Nines. It's always amazing to me, no matter what 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:31.199 movie it happens in where people dress up to go 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.280 to someone else's house. It's just like, in what world 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:39.119 would I I mean, I mean, I want you to 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:45.640 a jacket, but your best in a tuxedo.

Now you're in your your your fun 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:56.120 vegan punk layer. And I did not come on this 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.800 podcast to be disrespected like this. There's a story every 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:04.439 if it tells his story. Yeah, no, I'm kidding, it's closed. 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:13.200 Is your story? Woke up outside, I'm gonna go over 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.879 us in the bathroom. My head somehow slept in a 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:21.680 tree top. Um. So the next thing that happens, and 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:28.119 the job is the details are trying to exploit Adam 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:32.399 and Barbara. Otho now has the book, the Handbook for 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:35.080 the Recently Deceased, and he like, does this spell or 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:38.680 something to like summon them, and so he summons Adam 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:40.560 and Barbara. But they get all like weird and old 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:44.560 and they start decaying and stuff. So they're like crape right, 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:47.680 and then Lydia is like, oh ship, I need this 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.840 beetle juice guy's help to fix everything and incomes the 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:56.400 big problem.

But yeah, 0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:24.840 that the wedding scene is it's crazy how every like 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:27.240 everything about it is a big old problem and it's 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:31.800 still so much fun. Where he's forcing a teenager to 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:35.320 marry him is actively like kind of like shoving her 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:38.359 around it and being like and then and then whenever 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:40.840 Gina Davis tries to speak, he puts a zipper on 0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:46.960 her mouth.
