This week on Cinemaholics, we review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the long-awaited sequel to Tim Burton's 1988 cult(?) classic of the same name, minus one name. Burton returns as director with Alfred Gough and Miles Millar as co-screenwriters, and we discuss the film's big success at the box office and whether or not the hype is deserved, deserved, deserved.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice opened in theaters on September 4 through Warner Bros after opening the Venice International Film Festival on August 28 and has a 104-minute runtime. The cast includes Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Jenna Ortega, and Willem Dafoe.

Our intro music this week is “Wakaba” by Hocoro Beats.
