Description

To tie into Tim Burton's new sequel, we're revisiting the 1988 classic Beetlejuice.

Trace has a funny backstory with the film, while Joe barely has a connection to it. We both agree, however, that the film is a creative triumph, with amazing characters and boundless background details that flesh out the world.

Plus: multiple queer elements, the film's obsession with suicide, the animated cartoon and the musical adaptation, and why Delia is *the* best character.

Reference: Tori Williams. "No One Sees Me: Queerness Throughout Beetlejuice." Gayly Dreadful.
