It's Showtime! Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia - as we review the winner of the Fledgling Fandom Halloween Episode Poll, the 1988 Tim Burton classic, Beetlejuice. We're firing up the Harry Bellafonte in our 93rd episode as we discuss:
- Our feelings towards Tim Burton films on the whole
- Some of the darker elements of early drafts and how thankful they didn't get into the final cut
- A theory about who works for the civil service in the afterlife in this film
- Which actor didn't think they were very good in this film (and we agree with them)
- Whether or not people give Danny Elfman enough credit
- How long did it take Georgia to realise that Geena Davis was Dottie from A League of Their Own
- Ethan continues to reveal that he knows absolutely nothing about geography
- What one of our regular listeners has done to draw the ire of Georgia this week
- We discuss the tragic events of the past week on the set of Alec Baldwin's current film, Rust
