Johnny Depp played the titular role in Tim Burton’s timeless tale of isolation and acceptance. Edward Scissorhands, the character, was a naïve stranger, a robotic creation, and eventually … a cold-blooded killer? Yes, the tone of this quirky cult classic was all over the place and had a real downer of an ending. But now, decades later, are the film’s darkest moments the ones that shine brightest? Is Depp’s chemistry with then-IRL love, Winona Ryder, delightful or distracting? And does Edward have real anger management issues? The Old Roommates revisit all the magic and mayhem of this 1990’s fantasy through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
