Welcome to the start of our annual Halloween season.
Halloween is famous for its tricks and treats. So, for regular listeners to the show, we start off with a treat, a Phil and Jeff movie review. It’s the box office hit of the season, Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which has just been released on streaming (and is still showing in cinemas if you fancy the big screen experience).
Before you check out this comedy horror, why not give our spoiler free review show a listen? A note of caution, it proved to be too scary for Graham who refused to go into the cinema.
As you would expect from a Jeff and Phil review, there will be extreme viewpoints, ramped up to 11, for this show. Phil believes Tim Burton is a sell out and this is just another commercial example, while Jeff calls it a 2024 masterpiece and Tim Burton’s most personal feature in years. In fact, Jeff acclaims this sequel as better than the original. Those are fighting words in some circles!
Apart from talking about the film itself, the fatigued duo also discuss Tim Burton’s career. Phil continues with his sell out theme for recent years and Jeff, while praising the director, makes the startling discovery concerning which films of Mr Burton’s back catalogue he has missed.
After that, all three challenge each other to come up with a triple Tim Burton movie evening for Halloween. To find out what everyone picked you’ll have to listen to the show. However, dear listener, what would your pick be – what would make the perfect Tim Burton triple bill, please let us know what your thoughts are.
We hope this review starts your Halloween season with a smile. Come back tomorrow for another in our short Halloween season.
Bye for now.
