    Beetlejuice Is Back! Cosplay, Fan Culture & The Musical Coming to St. Louis | Mostly Superheroes Podcast

    The juice is loose in St. Louis. In this episode of Mostly Superheroes, host Logan Janis sits down with local performer Bruce the Juice, a Beetlejuice-inspired cosplay entertainer bringing the chaotic spirit of Beetlejuice to events across the city. With Tim Burton’s cult classic experiencing a massive resurgence—thanks to nostalgia, cosplay culture, and the touring stage production of Beetlejuice the Musical—fans are rediscovering the strange, weird, and wonderful world first brought to life by Michael Keaton. Bruce shares his origin story, how he turned cosplay into live performance gigs, and wild behind-the-scenes stories from improv shows, cruise ship acting gigs, murder mystery theater, and unexpected celebrity encounters—including a hilarious casino moment with Tom Welling from Smallville. You’ll also hear: • How Beetlejuice became one of the most iconic cult characters in pop culture • The rise of cosplay performers as live event entertainers • Inside stories from improv, murder mysteries, and cruise ship theater • The strange world of fan conventions and fandom communities • Why Beetlejuice fandom is hotter than ever 🎟 PLUS: We talk about upcoming Beetlejuice movie screenings and theater events happening in St. Louis.
