Ripley & The Talented Mr. Ripley - In Tom's defense, Dickie had a ridiculously large booty

The new "Joker" sequel has got everyone talking, and much of it ain't pretty. This week's episode is all about diving into the madness of "Joker: Folie à Deux." Rolando, Nicole and Eddie chat about the backlash, the to-be-expected musical numbers, and what director Todd Phillips might be trying to say with this wild ride. Remember the Joker we all met back in 2019? Well, this time, things get even crazier with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga taking center stage. But is it genius or just a big "screw you" to fans? We’ve got opinions, theories, and maybe a few laughs along the way. Whether you're a die-hard Batman fan or just here for the cinematic chaos, we’ve got you covered.

This week, Rolando, Nicole, and Eddie take a deep dive into the lasting legacy of Tim Burton's distinctive filmography, focusing on Beetlejuice. We explore why Burton’s gothic, eccentric style has resonated so strongly with audiences—particularly millennials. What is it about his unique blend of whimsy and darkness that keeps his work so beloved, even decades later? Next, we focus on Beetlejuice itself and uncover an interesting revelation: despite Michael Keaton's unforgettable portrayal, the title character doesn't appear until more than halfway through the film. Instead, the true narrative centers around the Maitlands, portrayed by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis, and their attempt to navigate the afterlife. We also take a moment to appreciate the stellar performances of Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz and Catherine O’Hara as Delia, who bring a remarkable energy to the film. Finally, we discuss the long-awaited sequel, which began production in 2023 after years in green lit limbo. Was this return to the world of Beetlejuice worth the wait? We also examine the absence of Jeffrey Jones and whether Tim Burton still has the box office power he once commanded. Join us as we explore the answers to these questions and more in this lively discussion. FOLLOW US: Be sure to follow us on social media for news, polls, and fun behind the scenes content.
