Apparently once Keaton got his whole Beetlejuice shit together like the outfit

3:10
creepiness as far as our love for you to yeah you know we love you all equally I
3:15
don't know are you gonna piss people off at the higher tiers they're like well
3:18
if you love us all the same we're lowering ourselves but you know just because
3:24
you give us more money and we give you more things and like VIP shout outs and
3:30
whatnot at the higher tiers doesn't mean we love you more gifts don't equal love
3:35
you know wait they don't no love equals love oh that's but then how do you know
3:41
how to quantify love you can't that's the that's life's biggest mystery and now
3:48

4:12
heard of Taylor's left no I'm unfamiliar that's it I'm done with this podcast um you
4:21
know I know who she is you literally sent me like her entire album this morning
4:26
so we're not gonna talk about it for long but we have to mention the song who's
4:31
afraid of little me because it's so fucking witchy and I just it's the best it
4:37
is the best like it's the best you can love Taylor Swift you can hate her but she
4:43
like what you I know she's hard to hate I think but what she does for when she
4:51
just like the ultimate feminist I think yeah I love her and you know what I
4:57
happen to know that some of our male listenership enjoys her as well I know a
5:04
lot of dudes who do yeah she's great yeah which reminds me I talked about in the
5:12
Missy Copsie in that two-parter I think it was in part one and I mentioned
5:18
Dewey sends me a ton of cases and I was like listening to something later and
5:28
it occurred to me um I may have made it sound like Dewey was the one that sent me
5:34
the Missy Copsie case and he has sent me cases a ton of them and I have actually
5:40
covered one of them already um but Aaron is the one who sent me the Missy Copsie
5:46
case gotta give credit where credit is due Caitlin yeah yeah well I just I didn't say
5:53
like oh thanks Dewey for sending me this Misty Copsie case but I was like oh you
5:57
know what listening to this I feel like maybe people could have been confused and
6:02
they thought that you know anyways they've both sent me several cases so it's
6:07
it's not a race or a competition but you're both crushing it so no one sends me
6:14
any cases I mean come on that's not entirely true I have a whole stash of things
6:20
I'm like looking at them hmm should I do this should I do this I'm scrolling I don't
6:25
know if you can tell yeah you know the other thing is we have on the Facebook
6:31
discussion group there's a whole chat for people to drop in case suggestions
6:36
oh cool yeah and we have the same thing on Patreon too so I should get on
6:41
Facebook and snoop around there haven't been on their ages ages uh well I have more
6:50
news like this is a very news heavy episode okay there's some paranormal news in
6:55
the news some news in the news you don't say yeah okay are you ready for this I
7:04
mean probably not but let's do it this is an article from Entertainment Weekly
7:09
and the headline is hotel from the shining catches fire in Oregon yeah in our own
7:17
backyard so Timberline Lodge was the exterior for that's right yeah for the
7:24
shiny I knew this yes you've been there right like like blasher yeah I'm just saying
7:32
I knew about the Timberline Lodge fire I just did not put two and two together
7:37
at all this was April 19th yeah literally yesterday this
7:42
was nobody worry sorry if I'm like making you guys worry it didn't burn down
7:49
everything is fine the fire was contained to like the roof and parts of the
7:54
attic and they were able to put it out my gosh but do you you've said have you
8:00
seen the shiny and it's a scary movie I've seen parts of it I don't know that I've
8:04
ever sat down and watched it like beginning to end at the end it burns down so yeah
8:12
um it's a little creepy that interesting I mean I know buildings catch on fire it's
8:17
a thing that happens it's not like that much of a coincidence that it burned out
8:21
in the movie and it caught fire but I mean I just I don't know how many buildings
8:25
are just catching fire like it it's not like an everyday thing I mean that's
8:31
what the fire department does how are they still in business if things aren't
8:34
catching fire daily first of all still in business okay capitalism has really
8:40
messed us up in business um yeah people still need their services as it were
8:47
for quite a few things and burning buildings that that's just one of our yeah but
8:54
I mean yeah it's not a super rare occurrence no so it's a coincidence but it's
8:59
like not that big of a coincidence it's just kind of weird and eerie and cool to
9:02
talk about because it's an Oregon it was in the shining which is creepy yeah yeah so we're
9:09
glad it didn't burn down because that place is beautiful yeah and creepy I'm so creeped out right now
9:16
oh boy in other news oh my gosh more news in the news oh no okay are you ready I'm
9:28
yep I brought a pet I see that yeah I've been noticing that for some time um and I can't
9:37
help but notice that you have your beetle juice cup there as well so do I yes oh what's on my
9:44
shirt it's beetle juice stuff too okay all right all right guess where I went where I went to the
9:51
beetle juice musical you did that's right I knew that I did I'm so excited oh I got one more
9:57
thing I forgot oh okay it's a shot glass it's a sucks yes I'm not gonna tell you what it means
10:04
because you have to go watch the musical but it's hilarious I'll tell you off-air kit obviously
10:10
obviously the musical was amazing um I really enjoyed it obviously I'm the huge beetle juice fan
10:18
I don't know why you can't tell I didn't even I didn't bring my landyard but my landyard is
10:24
beetle juice too I mean it's in my purse because I drove here so I have to have my keys but uh it's
10:31
in there it's yeah it's really far away I will give one spoiler to show you like tell you guys why
10:37
I love this so much it was a little different than the movie which I appreciated obviously there's
10:41
a lot of music in it it's a musical yeah but the storyline was like a little bit different oh okay
10:47
but spoiler okay if you don't want to know skip forward like 30 seconds so you know in the movie
10:53
beetle juice he'd like creepily hits on the woman oh yeah he does it to Adam too in the play like
11:01
he even more like harder than he went on Barbara and it just it just made me so happy I was like
11:08
I I can get down with this I love me a bisexual beetle juice I mean yeah but I mean are they still
11:16
like underage oh oh okay I won't spoil that either I don't know why I'm still like protective I don't
11:25
want to spoil things but they do address the age in a pretty fucking hilarious way okay but these two
11:31
that he's hitting on are technically adults okay it's the girl he tries to marry the underage yeah
11:37
okay okay I was like yeah that you know like bisexual yay pito not so much you know he's a lot better
11:46
in the in the musical I think oh well I mean the bar wasn't that very hot yeah no I'll tell you
11:53
about it actually because today we're talking all about beetle juice the movie and it relates to
12:00
the Pacific Northwest because I went to a show here in Portland that's the connection I love it
12:07
I love it what I want it's my podcast yeah right right and then it's my episode I think
12:16
yeah that's what I'm gonna say right yeah that's better let's talk about some weird facts about the
12:22
movie beetlejuice okay poltergeist became the highest grossing horror film of 1982 if you haven't
12:31
seen poltergeist I don't know where you've been recently or like have at least heard about the plot
12:38
basically a poltergeist which is a ghost who like moves things and throw things in as crazy yeah
12:43
it terrorizes a family who moves into a house on a burial plot yeah it's like a burial ground burial ground
12:53
right not all the chestnut yeah so it's the basic plot well six years later a little movie came out that
13:02
reverses that narrative where a human family is the one causing the recently deceased distress
13:11
oh yes god that's it's been so long that movie is the one and only Beetlejuice say that three times
13:20
fast I wouldn't even I wouldn't even dare I wouldn't try just Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
13:26
he didn't come I'll just play with my worm
13:36
so the movie did pretty well uh the 10 highest grossing film in 1988 okay great lens year of birth
13:45
yeah I'm gonna have to stop saying that soon why giving away your birth yeah because people can do the
13:52
math yeah gross speaking of gross I was curious what the high what the highest grossing film of 1988
14:02
was because beetle juice was the me too so clearly I googled it because it's a tangent yeah
14:07
and what I found is kind of funny it was who framed Roger Rabbit which we just talked about
14:15
and you're like I'm not I can't picture this movie really yeah that was the highest grossing it was
14:22
the gear of my birth yeah it's a good movie I told you okay I mean those little right gangster weasels
14:30
in zoot suits I'm telling you it's hilarious all right I mean the film even scored Timmy B his first
14:39
Oscar that's Tim Burton oh okay I was gonna say you and Timmy B you guys are buds yeah we are okay
14:47
okay and Timmy B and it also won a Saturn award for best movie ever made what wait what this
14:54
Saturn award I don't know but it was the best horror movie of 1990 is what it won I mean is Beetlejuice
15:02
really considered a horror movie apparently I mean it's scary to kids I'm assuming it wasn't
15:10
scary to me but I remember seeing it and I was scared at the time I don't think I would think it was
15:15
scary now yeah no it's not like yeah and we'll talk about it later we'll talk about the special
15:21
effects I'm so excited beetle juice even sandwormed its way into the number 88 spot on the American
15:31
film institute list of top 100 funniest American movies wow is it a horror is it funny I well it's
15:40
funny it was okay and here's the thing it debuted in 88 and it's number 88 yeah I just wow
15:49
isn't that weird that is weird co-winky beans weird you know how I love the numbers me to speaking of
15:56
numbers one year after the film was released there was an animated series did you ever see that
16:03
I feel like I vaguely recall I can send you the um um intro do it because when I watched
16:16
the intro to this I was like oh my god it totally took me back I remember watching this I definitely
16:23
watched this at some point it is kind of interesting though that they made it into a cartoon for kids
16:29
because it's not really a kids movie um which brings me to kind of a fun fact about me I might have
16:38
told this before I don't remember but I used to watch beetle juice all the time growing up you did
16:44
except it was the version that my mom recorded from the TV with commercials all of the naughty parts
16:51
cut out so I grew up thinking like yeah this is a kids movie right like there's no naughty thing oh my
16:58
god that's so funny the uncut version later on and I just fall even more deeply in love with this
17:05
movie because it's fucking hilarious and it's dirty and beetle juice is the dirtiest old man and I just
17:11
I love him oh my god even though eventually everything worked out like creepy wonderful magic with
17:20
this movie it took some convincing by Tim Burton Timmy B to get the cast on board because they thought
17:29
that it was too weird I mean I can see it I can see it too but I'm glad that it happened because it's
17:40
like the best kind of weird yeah yeah and the movie's success even brought about a sequel
17:47
and I know what you're thinking there is a sequel coming out in September but this is not the
17:55
sequel I'm talking about wait what it was called "Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian" have you ever seen it?
18:05
no I've never even heard of that there's a reason for that it was never made thank fucking god oh okay it
18:14
was like I don't that doesn't sound familiar at all yeah it was never made surprisingly despite
18:22
having a full-ass script and Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder on board okay old Timmy B
18:32
Timmy he thought Timmy B he decided to do Batman and said he thought that that might be a better way
18:39
to go and I think the entire world agrees yeah that Batman would have is better than beetle juice goes
18:46
Hawaiian yeah that's true yeah oh oh boy Michael Keaton Batman I think he has to be because it was
18:59
in New Girl so it has to be true yeah yeah I mean no I was gonna say I'm pretty sure he was at some
19:06
play yeah yeah so Batman Beetlejuice same thing yeah you know mostly glad they didn't like
19:14
totally ruin like the Beetlejuice franchise like god can you imagine yeah I'm glad they waited
19:23
for 2024 because I think wait so is it now coming out yeah it's coming out September 2024 the wine one
19:30
no it's called beetle juice too it's not Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian I think that project is
19:34
officially scrapped okay it's got fingers crossed although I would I don't know I kind of want to
19:42
see like how that train ref would go yeah but I don't know I think hopefully this new version will
19:49
just like enhance everything and not not break it down yeah I mean we're gonna find out
19:56
do you like coincidences scaling no do you like when I can say coincidences correctly
20:03
kind of not like I'm drunk I don't believe in coincidences first of all but I mean you know that's
20:11
because I'm the true crime gal you don't believe that the coincidence of the fire and the shining hotel
20:16
we were just talking about it and you were fully convinced on that coincidence no I definitely was not
20:21
you were trying to convince me there is kind of a weird coincidence well there's kind of a
20:28
couple weird coincidences in beetle juice and the first one is at one point this is a quote from
20:36
the movie beetle juice says I've seen the exorcist about 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it
20:45
and that's like one of the best that's like one of the best lines I've ever heard my entire life
20:52
um yeah but it's interesting because Gina Davis who plays Barbara in 2016 they made a new like
21:02
television version of the exorcist and she plays the adult Reagan and really yeah also Linda Blair
21:10
who plays the child Reagan in the movie the exorcist yeah she was actually briefly considered for the role
21:16
of Barbara interesting like a little circley mix of weirdness here right yeah if you want even more
21:27
weird uh Tim Burton wanted originally Sammy Davis Jr. to play beetle juice it's kind of a weird
21:38
I don't know I don't know I'm not sure how this all makes me feel I'm gonna put it out and then
21:43
I'm gonna have maybe Caitlin talk through it with me I'm not sure okay yeah so it's obviously like
21:50
probably wouldn't have fit the character how how the movie ended up turning out um there's a
21:56
really big reason for that though why the character is the way it is the original script was actually
22:02
very very different from how the movie eventually turns out um beetle juice's character was supposed to
22:10
be like really demonic like wings like creepy like not funny creepy the way he is but like actually scary
22:21
really okay so that makes sense why maybe it was sort of categorized as a horror film yeah maybe
22:31
because it originally technically was yeah so I got most of these facts from the IMDb like trivia
22:39
about the movie and I'll link it with you guys um so in here I'm just gonna quote what it says because I'm not
22:44
I don't know like how to put this in my own words it's kind of it's interesting they say originally
22:51
conceived as a winged and demonic presence taking human form as a small middle eastern man
22:59
subsequent drafts made him more African-American and he spoke a kind of pigeon dialect
23:06
wow okay so so they were basically making the dark man evil and demonic yeah I was gonna say sounds
23:17
real racist yeah so okay at first I was kind of like well why I mean why couldn't be able to do
23:23
he could be a black eye like who cares but I mean yeah the way that they originally wrote it kind
23:29
of is just like yeah we do we need that I mean come on no no no there's enough vilifying I
23:36
vilifying any person yeah of color yeah it's that's pretty yucky I'm totally fine with it being a
23:42
white guy I believe yeah the literal words listen they are the worst and I don't think they've
23:48
gotten their fair share okay exactly but anyway so I like I don't know I can really
23:56
word that in my own words I didn't really sure how he felt about it so I read it out loud and I was
24:01
like no I kind of know how I feel about it yeah okay I'm glad we agree yeah no that's pretty yucky
24:08
but we can move on to something funny yeah and I'm like I've said it before I'm glad that this movie
24:14
did not go that way because that that would have just it wouldn't have been a movie like it would have
24:18
been good no no none of us to rate our still be talking about it exactly yeah not at all but what
24:25
would have been maybe an interesting movie as if Beetlejuice was Arnold Schwarzenegger I'm sorry what
24:32
to me be did consider Arnold Schwarzenegger for the role of Beetlejuice Arnold Arnien S well Arnie S
24:43
asked he turned it down he was like I'm busy like being an action star like that is not a bit it's
24:53
just it's not a match no it ain't it not ain't it no no the title character Beetlejuice only has
25:03
14 and a half minutes on screen really yes and despite the movie's official spelling of the name
25:12
Beetlejuice his name is actually spelled B-E-T-E-L-G-E-U-S-E which is also pronounced Beetlejuice just
25:22
yeah radically different spelling and it you do see it in the movie like on his headstone and stuff
25:28
yeah was gonna say that's yeah but they decided like for marketing and stuff people being able
25:35
to pronounce the movie name without being confused yeah it's probably better okay okay but he is
25:43
named after a red orange star in the Orion constellation I'm sorry what that stars name is Beetlejuice
25:52
there's a star named Beetlejuice and Beetlejuice is named after it okay ain't that cute
26:03
this is brand new information isn't really yeah no I've never I've never heard that before good I'm
26:09
glad I'm like telling people things they don't know that's so wild yeah I've never heard that before
26:15
I had heard it before um but I yeah I'm like Beetlejuice in formation so uh that's not weird that I know
26:24
that no but there's a lot I didn't know about the movie like most of the stuff I really didn't know
26:32
including the fact that Tim Burton described Beetlejuice to Michael Keaton as
26:38
having lived in every time period and no time period because he's Tim Burton okay and apparently
26:49
talks and riddles uh so Michael Keaton was like the fuck do I do with that information yeah so he
26:58
ends up basically creating the entire character himself yeah yeah uh that makes sense
27:04
even his hair his makeup like the mold they put on his face all of this was Michael Keaton's doing
27:12
okay he even ad-lipped ad-lipped ad-lipped he even ad-lipped 90% of his lines really so they just threw
27:23
this man out there and was like you know say like this and then maybe do do whatever you think
27:30
and uh we'll make that the movie that makes it so hard for the other actors to know what the
27:38
fuck there's supposed to do I mean it's kind of fun I think yeah it can be but that's just like a lot
27:45
of create like having the actor create that much is a lot but it's thankfully it fucking works
27:52
I think it it totally worked yeah this is funny too because Michael Keaton actually
27:58
based this character off of somebody else in another horror film which again links it back to horror
28:03
he based his character on a character named Chop Top from the movie the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
28:13
oh that's so rich familiar I've never seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 I've seen one uh
28:21
but I don't like horror so I kind of like do that when I watch it but this one I might watch it now
28:29
because this character let me show you because I think I think based on it's like it's like it's like
28:37
strongly like heavily based on you guys should definitely go watch the link I'll put the link in
28:46
we'll probably end up posting a photo to be as late the resemblance is just the teeth he even has
28:53
green hair he's all pasty I didn't watch the full clip he has a hanger and I don't want to know what's
29:00
happening why are you still watching it I can't stop weren't I'm not watching this movie uh yeah
29:12
okay I just wanted you to hear the voice and like see everything because he doesn't but I just like
29:17
I couldn't stop I could not stop what was he doing I don't want to know
29:21
so weird it's so weird but did you hear the voice yeah isn't that beetle like it has like the like
29:32
country-ish like yeah I always say country I mean southern well it doesn't really sound southern
29:40
I don't know it's like it sounds backwards yeah it's trying to be nice
29:45
yeah well I don't know that calling that southern is nice I don't know why I'm like uh trying to be
29:53
nice those gross character anyway apparently once Keaton got his whole beetle jiu shit together
30:00
like the outfit he shows up on set he's ready to go in the crew and the cast were so excited they were
30:09
chanting juice juice that's amazing because I mean imagine him walking in for the first time you're
30:17
working on this movie you know what's supposed to happen you see the set and then you see
30:21
the beetle juice if I can come walking out like I would chant too that's just cool yeah so this
30:29
is actually Michael Keaton's favorite movie he says really and you know who absolutely like
30:35
doesn't like this movie and thinks it's his worst Alec Baldwin which like he's really good in this
30:43
movie I love that character I mean like no offense but like has he done that many other movies like
30:52
I don't know I mean he did really good on SNL yeah and then he was in that one movie that really
31:02
went off gangbusters oh I forgot about that that's really sad yeah oh let's be nice to him I just
31:10
wish he liked this movie because like everyone else does you know I I don't know I mean
31:16
maybe there's something to this like is this man to be trusted doesn't like beetle juice
31:22
some guessing he's not gonna be in the sequel I'm you know probably not darn it
31:28
well that's sad oh well I hope he's okay anyway moving on so like I said a lot of things about this
31:40
movie changed including the title origin do you want to guess what the original title is I mean no
31:49
it's like super basic it's like the most basic of all the basic things that ever basic I had more
31:55
basic than beetle juice beetle juice isn't basic that's like that's the coolest name I know I know
32:02
but it's like the characters names like how do you get more basic than that I like I it was called house
32:09
ghosts house yeah that's like the boringest thing about who's doing house goes house goes and then I guess
32:22
kind of as a joke but I'm not I don't I don't think it was a joke uh to me be suggested that they
32:30
name it scared sheetless I'm sorry but they like totally took it seriously and considered it which
32:38
I don't I feel like it wasn't a joke yeah but that would have been like kind of a cool title but not
32:46
not like beetle juice beetle juice is unbeatable but scared sheetless is pretty good yeah I just I don't
32:54
think that I will ever recover from scared sheetless scared sheetless okay because they because they
33:02
got their sheets and then they take them off I'm just saying like scared sheetless sounds like it could
33:10
be a movie like something to do with the clan oh and that would be like kind of a turn off I was
33:16
seeing like porn porn I don't know scared sheetless like a scared you don't want to be scared yeah I don't
33:25
know I mean some you know we're not sure to yuck your yum yeah unless you know unless you are part of
33:30
the club yeah yeah let's not no thanks but I also think it probably wouldn't have been as like
33:38
kid friendly I guess yeah because it was obviously very kid friendly yeah old Timmy B are you guys
33:47
gonna take a bite yet Timmy B okay what do you guys think I care what you think though
33:52
he actually did not like the now famous infamous scene with the dayo song and the shrimpies popping
34:02
up out of the table grabbing full spaces you know the banana boat song oh god it's been so long
34:10
it's been so long day like come and me one go home yeah I remember the shrimp
34:19
so it's like the ghost basically possessing them to do this song and dance anyway don't you see it like
34:28
that's a great scene but yeah Burton didn't really like it he thought it was like kind of boring and stupid
34:33
apparently so okay whatever Timmy B we even cares what you think like do you even make movies I mean come on
34:42
what he did like though was the kind of fake looking like not very good special effects which were
34:51
on purpose he really liked the look of like the B movie special effects I guess which I do too I think
34:59
especially with it being a comedy which they mention it's like it is kind of better that they
35:05
didn't take it super serious and like put really good special effects on it because it just would have
35:09
been well it wouldn't be funny yeah it wouldn't be that funny it would have definitely been more of a
35:14
scary movie yeah yeah and that's actually funny too because they there's a point in the movie where
35:21
Beetlejuice shows his scary face so I don't know if you've seen like the the couple makes their face
35:27
is like scary like polar nose out and do weird show their face oh yeah yeah so Beetlejuice has one too
35:33
but you never actually see it in the movie you will see it from behind but they actually made the
35:39
full front of his face like they did a whole elaborate really like makeup effect on him but they
35:47
thought that it was funnier only like just showing it from behind and not actually showing you what it
35:52
looked like so they didn't ever actually show it from the front I mean I could see that yeah yeah
35:57
but it is kind of funny from the back because it's like snakes that come out and they like yeah they're
36:03
weird also the freaking gorgeous house is just a facade built on a farm filled filled filled filled
36:15
filled the farm filled the speaking of some of the effects from the movie there is at one point a
36:24
giant merry go round that comes out and the head on it is like a skeleton head yeah and it's definitely
36:33
a jackskellington head yeah and this was pre nightmare before Christmas so like Tim Burton I guess
36:42
has a good idea sometimes and he like keeps putting them in movies and drawing them until they have
36:49
their own movie I guess yeah it really is like this interwoven world yeah yeah I don't like
37:00
obviously I don't think he meant it to be because jackskellington wasn't a thing yet yeah so I don't
37:07
think he meant like purposely put it in there like oh I'm putting jackskellington in this movie I think
37:11
it was just like a cool character that he wanted to I don't know I don't know for sure I could be wrong
37:17
you never know yeah he is a brilliant evil genius yes and the wise the evil I heard he kicks holes
37:26
in walls and just like not about that way that I mean that seems a little intense yeah he's like an
37:32
intense guy yeah it gets mad and frustrated and I've watched a lot of documentaries oh no yeah
37:41
anyway also I think it's pretty funny I don't know so spoiler alert the couple in the movie dies
37:48
within like the first five minutes of the movie it's not really a spoiler it's like what if you
37:56
haven't seen it maybe skip forward like 30 seconds because I'm gonna spoil something for you
38:00
so all these years later I know how do I ride I don't know if you remember how they die they were
38:08
in a car and like a dog runs in front of them yeah I'm kind of like break and swerve yeah well there's
38:14
a bumper sticker on the back of their car that you see in the beginning of the movie it says I
38:19
break for animals oh it's not sad it's like it's like a depressing foreshadowing yeah yeah oh that's
38:34
kind of a mermaid I know I mean I'm laughing because the movie they die like that's what happens but
38:41
yeah you know the movie is about them being ghosts so it's like it's okay it's funny it's not so sad
38:47
have you heard of the invisible string theory it's all over TikTok or I think I've heard of it I don't
38:55
I haven't engaged also Taylor Swift has a song called an invisible string this episode is not
39:01
about her okay okay all right basically it's like you know you're you woven together you're on a
39:08
string to your person and eventually you will connect with each other that's the basis of the theory
39:13
yeah actually two girls one goes just an episode on it's really good yeah it's really cute you
39:19
should go listen to it if you want to know what it is but there's kind of a little invisible string
39:25
theory relationship with this movie and I think it's so fucking adorable we're gonna talk about
39:31
her real quick I know you're gonna love it do you know Catherine O'Hara is oh god Deelia
39:39
she's the sound so familiar yeah okay yeah okay okay why am I not going fucking um
39:50
home alone no what's the the show Schitt's Creek Schitt's Creek oh my god yeah she's been in so many good
40:00
on programs movies I love shows yeah she's great she's amazing and she deserved this
40:07
so she actually met her husband on the set he was the production designer named Bo Welsh oh
40:15
and she actually wasn't even originally supposed to be in this film really yes
40:21
Deelia Deetz was cast as Angelica Houston who was Mortisha Addams yeah I just don't know that I see
40:33
it though oh yeah I don't really I could I can kind of see it because she has the you know like
40:38
New York like she could be like the artistic creepy lady from New York you know what I mean
40:45
yeah like not cool creepy but like yeah I could see it but it definitely was better the way it turned out
40:53
yeah I think so I think this was meant for her for sure and it was definitely better that it turned
40:58
out for them too because yeah I mean they would have met some time at another time because you know
41:04
they're strong together but it was just it's kind of sweet how like oh I wasn't supposed to be here
41:10
but then I was and I met my husband and they're still together like what yeah that's so cute
41:16
and actually it says in here that Bo Welsh didn't even know like he was allowed it talk to the actors
41:24
so he kind of waited until the end and then he finally asked her out oh that's adorable we love a
41:32
meat cue yeah not everyone can meet in a church okay not everyone can meet on the set of Beetlejuice
41:38
you see there yeah it's true it's true I mean their thing is cool too I guess so I brought you up with
41:45
the love and then I'm bringing right back down with the death I'm laughing sorry the movies about that
41:53
it's funny okay and as goofy and amazing as this movie is it does revolve around so there are a few
42:00
not so fun facts okay great so there is a point where Barbara and Adam are in like at the afterlife
42:10
office where they go into that I can't remember what it's called land of the dead or something yeah I
42:15
think that's what it was not something they go through the door yeah they're in the dead world and
42:20
they're there's like a whole business going on back yeah and at one point there was an announcement
42:28
of flight 409 is arriving at gate three and sadly there was a flight 409 that did crash
42:40
into a mountain in Wyoming in October 1935 and it did kill all of the passengers on board all
42:51
of the passengers all the crew oh I just got like chills I don't like yeah like I'm freezing right
42:56
now all of a sudden I don't like it at the time it was one of the worst plane crashes in history
43:03
but they still don't know why this particular plane crashed so that's really sad too I guess they
43:11
didn't get that the black box thing yeah I don't I don't think that was a thing I don't know in 1955
43:18
yeah when did the black box thing start coming around I don't know but it certainly not in 1955
43:26
okay so yeah no they still don't know why it crashed which is okay great but that's not the only
43:32
mess casualty they reference in the movie remember do you remember the football team there's
43:38
like a whole thing with a football team in the movie yeah and they like dance with the with
43:44
Lydia at the end yeah they were actually based on a real football team Marshall university football team
43:53
all right who oh gosh this is so sad 37 of their players passed away on a southern airways flight oh no
44:04
it was flight 932 okay but they did change the colors of their uniforms so that's good no okay
44:14
I was like I don't know I know I think it's kind of sad that they're like I know the movie is about
44:21
debt I keep saying that the movie is about death but like it's kind of interesting it's an interesting
44:26
choice to use like real life things in a movie like that but I don't know they're just little references too
44:34
so yeah yeah I think in some of the instances if they changed some of the details to sort of like
44:46
try to reference it but not be like to on the nose or to direct with it I think if they did have
44:54
the uniforms I think that would that would have been like too much yeah if they like looked like
44:59
dead football players that were actually dead football players like that would be a little sad
45:06
that maybe yeah I don't know that's such a tough thing because everybody probably feel if you ask
45:14
five people on the street about that they probably would each feel differently yeah let's you know
45:19
but I still love the movie of course so the man who wrote Beatles Jews is Michael McDowell I think he
45:29
passed away before it was made I want to say really I think and that name sounds sort of familiar
45:37
this guy was totally obsessed with death he wrote like a dissertation titled America American attitudes
45:45
toward death okay you know studied it constantly his whole life he had like murder,
45:53
bilia like death memorabilia post-mortem images stuff like that so he collected all of that kind of
46:00
stuff so it's kind of like a no like no wonder he wrote his whole movie about death how many times
46:07
have I said that now it looks like they actually um north western university has his collection
46:16
of memorabilia and oh it says they had an exhibit in 2013 so I don't know if that's like maybe
46:23
still around somewhere or not but that'd be kind of interesting yeah to see a bunch of death stuff
46:29
death stuff together in one room so the ending of the movie is really sweet it's
46:37
Lydia the human girl kind of has like new ghosty parents but like her other parents live with them
46:44
too they split the house everyone's happy because her parents weren't like the greatest to her
46:49
but now I know how it's like these ghost parents who are sweet and anyway it's a sweet ending but
46:54
it wasn't always that sweet there was an alternate ending where Lydia too became a ghost oh
47:02
meaning she had to die she did yeah yeah um which is not great also she died in a fire like
47:12
interesting I chose to talk about a fire at the beginning of those and I totally forgot that part
47:18
yikes but also they they kind of were like maybe we better not because teenage girls might think it
47:25
was cool to off themselves and be on ghosts yeah probably not the most responsible portrayal in media
47:35
yeah it was already like she was kind of writing you know she wrote a suicide letter in the
47:40
yeah and that's what's tattooed on the hand in my shirt where she's like I am alone and she
47:46
scratches that I am utterly alone hmm hmm plummeted anyway oh so that part always kind of like
47:54
I don't know like kind of always made me uncomfortable yeah she's she's gonna kill herself like
48:02
watching it and like growing up watching it like slowly realizing what she's actually saying
48:08
is kind of a weird thing so yeah but that they didn't kill her at the end that would have been
48:15
fucking terrible yeah no I think that would have just been another thing for you to talk to a therapist
48:21
about yeah you know this could be a whole nother podcast episode on how awful beetle juice was for
48:27
American history and all these people and here I am over here like sponsor us better help
48:34
that too that too yeah I mean I think we we're the poster children of your cause really
48:44
of me really mental health yeah we seriously we need we really need help well I'm gonna end with
48:51
some fun facts so maybe we would don't need help like right away this is gonna make us feel better
48:56
have you seen the tv show community I haven't seen it yeah oh you have yeah okay so you're gonna
49:02
get this I hope so I'm a goldfish they had a little Easter egg in there were each season they would
49:10
say beetle juice one time and then the last time they say Beetlejuice there's a guy in a Halloween
49:16
costume in the background just dressed like Beetlejuice that walks by oh my god I think it's so cute
49:24
I'm like that's that's a thing I would put in a show if I were creating a show oh yeah yeah the movie
49:30
was also the first DVD that Netflix them don't remember when they did that we're back in 1998
49:36
1998 the first big of his side notes um I think I have to go jump off a bridge now because apparently
49:47
I'm ancient if you are younger than us and you don't know that Netflix used to physically nail
49:55
physical DVDs which were little discs that movies used to be on that you would have to put like a
50:02
CD I don't do yeah I know what a CD if they don't know what a DVD is they don't know what a CD is
50:08
damn it anyway uh yeah they just recently got rid of that and sorry mom gonna call you out she's
50:16
she still use that service up until they got rid of it and she's like yeah they're getting rid of
50:21
all oh honestly I would have used it too I totally wouldn't but she's right I mean they don't have
50:30
every movie to stream and if you don't want to pay extra and be lazy you want to wait for it in the
50:34
mail yeah I don't do that okay the last fun fact I have for you is that last year 2023 uh tvs and tn t
50:44
they aired Beetle just 24 hours for Halloween kind of like they do with a Christmas story during Christmas
50:50
oh nice yeah that's adorable do you think we should do some tarot for this yes let's do some tarot
50:58
orvisually okay I'm ready Beetlejuice that was a shitty bridge I hope I hope you couldn't see that
51:12
I did Beetlejuice oh I feel it oh I feel the energy I was a good one of the ghost with the most
51:27
oh boy I have a crush on you I have a crush on the weirdest fucking character you really do okay I'm so
51:33
sorry hey listen let's not summon demons in this new pod lab uh well we're about to Beetlejuice
51:42
okay I guess I need to put up more signs okay one of them is gonna say don't summon demons in the
51:51
pod lab the other one's gonna say please do not do coke in the bathroom funny okay can I spoil one
51:57
more thing for the musical seriously yeah if you don't want to hear this fast forward 30 seconds
52:03
one of the first songs he talks about doing like lines of coke what it's so funny he's like he's the
52:12
best best version of Beetlejuice I've ever seen he's like the dirtiest like drugiest he's like wolf
52:17
of Wall Street beat Beetlejuice it's hilarious it's great that's amazing it's a good time don't bring
52:25
your kids yeah don't yeah it sounds like probably don't bring your kids oh I shuffled more again okay oh
52:33
yeah you don't cut that out no oh okay I feel it I feel it I feel it she's feeling okay it's like
52:43
this one right here it's kind of sticking out get her king of sticks which is the king of
52:53
swords which is the big dick energy oh do you think Beetle juice has BDE probably I mean he acts like
53:02
he does yeah is that what big dick energy is though like big it to you make it or is it like
53:08
you truly have it no I think yeah you don't need to show it off right exactly like rich people don't
53:16
flaunt their money you know okay like if you got a BDE you ain't trying to show everybody that you got
53:23
BDE so he doesn't but he thinks he does men his head get shrunk at the end because he
53:31
grope so woman's thigh okay so king of swords right yes car okay sword he words wait
53:43
am I wrong is it once I don't know I've been wrong the entire I'm just gonna say I'm right I don't know
53:52
we have to cut that whole part of them wrong everything related to that well wand sword I mean either way
53:59
very foul like well god yeah look at the cards and we'll build two cups coins or pinnacles yeah oh I
54:10
think okay so stings oh blades okay so it is king of wand sorry guys listen okay sword wand either way
54:24
quit playing with your dinghy at the table well it's because it said sticks to that's what you me off
54:31
because I think I'm a 12 year old boy so when you have sticks you stick by it yeah yeah like
54:35
their swords okay see I don't feel so bad for jumping to conclusions no I don't think you should
54:41
either way we got there either way he doesn't have BDE so if it was a BDE card I think maybe the
54:46
fact that I thought it was brought up the conversation you know I think it was an important topic
54:52
I think so yeah yeah I'm leaving that all in yeah suck it suck it tell me about the king of ones all right
55:00
keywords are leadership self confidence success good fortune and loyalty it's a success yeah
55:11
it's success no fucking way okay another spoiler fast forwarder email I have a shock
55:22
class that I told you I wasn't gonna tell you what it's what it meant is success yes so there's a whole
55:28
thing in the in the musical about success it sucks it first but then it's like yeah sucks yes
55:37
sucks yes um that's really funny that's amazing as Biffits a king the king of ones often appears
55:47
seated on a throne wearing a handsome robe and a crown he's a dignified man who exudes confidence
55:57
authority and power yet he doesn't seem at all threatening that's interesting that is interesting
56:05
in fact he's usually shown as a handsome and benevolent ruler in a reading the king may
56:12
signify an actual person when he does it's generally a mature man who's obtained a position of wealth
56:21
and status perhaps the head of a business or a leader in the community oh interesting the upright
56:28
king is a fortunate card regardless of the situation if he represents a real person it's someone
56:36
you can trust and rely on to do the right thing he's a loyal friend a fair-minded employer a wise
56:45
advisor a competent and honest leader I feel like where this is going is like this is what beetle
56:54
juice was trying to yeah be when he was like doing the commercials like I can help you I'm like
57:00
dude you're great yeah this intelligent man has high ideals he's an active energetic
57:09
independent individual with a passion for life and an adventurous nature passion for life
57:16
is interesting too because he just like wants to marry her so that he can like come back whenever he
57:23
wants yeah is the point hmm in a reading about money you can expect good things to come
57:30
your way when the king appears sometimes the king means getting a raise that adventure will pay
57:37
off or that you have financial support if the reading is about your job success is assured success
57:46
success yeah the king may indicate a promotion or recognition for your efforts it can also show
57:55
you moving into a position of authority now is a good time to take a chance for victory is yours
58:03
I think this is like a card he wanted to fall like yeah this is like this is what really happened
58:10
to you guys yeah it's the total opposite of him yeah in a question about love the king of ones plays
58:18
or says the relationship is a strong one that's interesting it says the relationship is a strong one
58:26
with plenty of affection and passion do you remember the part where he like covers her mouth with
58:31
he like covers her mouth and does her voice for her that's interesting interesting perhaps
58:41
between two lively creative outgoing people there's one other extra excerpt here okay
58:49
bully card in the extreme the reverse king of ones can be the bully card as Mary K. Greer writes
58:58
in the complete book of tarot reversals you might oppose others simply as a display of one
59:07
upmanship oh my god that's beetle juice oh my god listen to this you can be aggressive and abuse
59:15
others like a bully or a common done with no humanity this is like perfect I was waiting I was like
59:22
there's gotta be something because I think this is the total opposite right but I think it's meant
59:28
to be that way because like this is the way he wants you to see him and this is the way
59:35
yes nick a little snake I like that ooh sneaky little sandwich yeah yeah well
59:40
fan worm well fan worm so he's got like kind of crazy pointy hair too I mean it's orange yeah it's
59:48
orange red like the beetle juice star but he's named after oh I did not even think about that
59:56
oh your shirt you have like a yellow and um right on your shirt too yeah and he's holding a stick
1:00:05
in the desert which could be like the sandworm yeah the land of the dead right nailed it okay I think
1:00:14
I nailed this one you guys nailed it he's a ghost in a sheet uh-huh I mean that's why I picked this
1:00:22
deck I don't think there's a card in it without a ghost one sheet so I really like had a really good
1:00:26
shot there yeah yeah the physical and emotional nature to which this card is attributed is dark
1:00:34
ardent why what does ardent and life mean lie yeah lie t_h_e ardent is a word that like I knew what
1:00:48
that meant a little bit better but lie that in that context didn't really make sense to me because
1:00:55
some um in some context it it's like can be mild or meek or like easily bend it can also mean like
1:01:06
thin so I'm like are we talking about like oh physically thin like kind of a metaphorical thin
1:01:12
meaning that you just are sort of like you bend to the will of others or but ardent is sort of a
1:01:20
it's intense feeling or like it's an impassioned plea yeah my heart is in love for you yeah because
1:01:29
the next word is so it's ardent live animated impassioned um and noble which obviously we the flip
1:01:40
side of that was the noble part but it's interesting it yeah it says dark and ardent and animated like
1:01:45
yeah yeah it's just so animated yeah wow that's interesting I'm glad you looked at that because all
1:01:51
of those are like really kind of yeah those are like super critical keywords for there's a couple more
1:01:58
to it says down below it says meanings dark man friendly countrymen which is that's interesting
1:02:06
we literally talked about his accent and generally married he's trying to be interesting oh it's also
1:02:19
connected to the symbol of the lion too which is that's kind of that's yeah
1:02:26
rar okay that's interesting but actually fit better than I
1:02:35
better than I thought when I pulled it even when I thought it was a sword yeah nice now that
1:02:42
totally fits I love that well did you guys notice anything else in the reading that we did not
1:02:49
know days about the battle juice beetle juice beetle juice beetle juice have a creepy ass day see you
1:03:00
next Tuesday unless we summon you faster than that we're gonna say all your names three times
