Dan & Manny put the 2024 sequel 🪲🧃Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST (NOW)!

“Everyone’s stapled in Tim Burton’s movies.”

-Dan Dissinger

Dan & Manny record in-person at Lithology Brewing in Farmingdale Long Island, and the episode is an instant becomes a classic. They talk about their movie going experiences with 🪲🧃Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and if going to the movies passes the nostalgia test, and why did Manny spend $50 to see 🪲🧃Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. They attempt to breakdown and understand the unending amount of subplots, why is Monica Bellucci in this movie, and Lydia's evolution from the first movie. Then they unpack all the missed opportunities with Beetlejuice himself, why we needed his satanic grave robbing backstory, Dan brings a surprise spooky season grab bag, SPOILER ALERT! Dan ruins Joker 2 (as if it needs more ruining), and there's so much more!!!!
