Does Tim Burton recapture the magic of the original? We talk Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci, Michael Keaton’s return, the sequel’s practical-effects approach, its overloaded cast of characters, and whether we really needed Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian.Plus: the Maitlands, sandworms, Danny Elfman, Day-O, MacArthur Park, Zagnuts, Comedy Central commercial breaks, and an alarming amount of Danny DeVito.If you enjoy the episode, like the video, subscribe, and let us know in the comments: Which do you prefer — BEETLEJUICE or BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE?#Beetlejuice #BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice #MyDadsMoviePodcast #BarryBarnhart #TimBurton #80sMovies #MoviePodcast #MichaelKeaton

    Ep. 56 - Denis Villeneuve (Sicario)

    Sicario is one of the most tense thrillers of the last decade—but what actually makes it feel so dangerous?On this episode of My Dad's Movie Podcast, we revisit Denis Villeneuve's Sicario, starring Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin. For Mick, it's a first-time watch. For Taber, it's a chance to dig into why the movie works so well.We talk about Roger Deakins' incredible cinematography, the film's oppressive use of music and sound, the decision to keep Emily Blunt—and the audience—in the dark, Benicio del Toro's terrifyingly calm performance, and why the violence in Sicario feels disturbing rather than exciting.We also get into one of the subtler filmmaking tricks in the movie: shots and edits that seem to linger just a little too long, creating tension simply by refusing to cut when the audience expects them to.Plus: Josh Brolin's flip-flops, Jon Bernthal taking a real punch from Emily Blunt, film vs. digital cinematography, the ridiculously stacked cast, and why Alejandro may be one of the most intimidating characters in modern crime cinema.If you enjoy movie discussions, filmmaker interviews, and celebrating the films we love, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share.
