Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: A Queer Cinema Catchup Review

Fall is almost here, and so is Queer Cinema Catchup's review of Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (with some thoughts on the original thrown in for good measure, too)!

Hosts Joe and Allison delve into the impact of Tim Burton's work, focusing on Winona Ryder's iconic roles and heartfelt interviews. They discuss the sequel to Beetlejuice, as well as the cultural impact of the original film and Burton's unique style. Their conversation contrasts the Hollywood journeys of Winona Ryder in the 80s and 90s with Jenna Ortega in the late 2010s and early 2020s, examining the agency (or lack thereof) of the

ingénue. Later, they consider Beetlejuice Beetlejuice as a Burton's commentary on the pressure to create bigger and better sequels.
